In Orvieto, La Palomba (The Dove). Besides the good food and local clientele, there's a (small) picture of Rick Steves in the dining room.

Best meal of our 3 week spring vacation to Italy was at Osteria di Pasquale in Lucca. Reservations are a must. Plan on a long enjoyable meal. Ask your server for recommendations. Amazing!

Our dinner in Orvieto was our best meal in Italy. It was at Antico Bucchero: https://www.orvietoviva.com/en/antico-bucchero/
I had wild boar stew and salad, and DH had lamb chops and tiramisu for dessert.

In Orvieto, with a Cingale (wild boar) head mounted outside the door, fabulous lunch at L’Oste del Re.
In Lucca, a restaurant so good that we had dinner there twice during our stay, is Osteria San Giorgio.
Really superior gelato in Lucca was at Gelati di Piero.

In Orvieto, I had what may have been the best carbonara of my life at Bistro Miranda. It was truly exceptional. The next night I went back and thoroughly enjoyed my watermelon and feta salad, but the pasta I tried wasn’t as memorable as the carbonara. My server recommended a glass of Battito Decugnano and chefskiss!

In Orvieto, one of our entire family’s favorite meals was Trattoria La Grotta. They had very good gluten-free pasta for me which was lovely!
