"Although I have visited Orvieto many times and had toured Pozzo Della Cava last Fall, I had never before eaten at La Bottega del Buon Vino. The restaurant offers both outdoor and indoor dining options. The outdoor features a covered area in a very pleasant garden setting. Because of the heat (It gets very hot in Orvieto in mid August), we chose to eat in the charming and intimate indoor room carved from the tufa stone on which Orvieto is situated. This room features a glass window in the floor revealing a passageway extending down many feet below. The owner delighted in showing this to visitors. The food prepared by the owner’s wife and the service by the owner’s son are very good. I skipped the antipasto. For my primo, I ordered the gnocci with mushrooms and truffles. I also sampled the gnocci al ragu, with tomato and meat sauce. Both were delightful. For the secondo, I enjoyed the cotoletta parmigiana. In contrast to American restaurants, this was a thin slice of veal lightly breaded with a small amount of cheese. For the contorno or side dish, I had the fresh chopped tomato. The portions are generous and filling, so I skipped the dolce (dessert). We also enjoyed a bottle of the house Orvieto classico wine. There is a small cover charge for bread, and the service is included in the cost of the meal which was 61 euros for the 3 of us."
