This restaurant serves truly excellent cuisine in an elegant setting. It appears that there were mixed reviews on TA but the dishes we had were excellent and reasonably priced (especially if we compare them to NYC prices). Each dish served was truly an unforgettable experience. We had the fillet al lardo di colannata (steak cooked in red wine with prunes,... More

Im sorry to say we had a disappointing experience here. The food was bland. Not terrible, but just lacked flavour in general. My wife and I each had 3 courses, and out of all 6 dishes only my dessert was nice. Duck pasta was dry and bland. salted cod was also dry and very bland. Risotto was ok but again... More

We were in Cortona in October 2012 and found Osteria Del Teatro by chance. All I have to say is the experience was wonderful. The food was prepared well and accompanied by local wines.

fantastic experience! the food and service. everything was good, from the appetizers to the desserts and, of course, the sommelier's recommendation was perfect. Very nice location!

Had dinner here with a small group last September. Restaurant was packed and service was still quite good. Great atmosphere and wine list, however food was just average. The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection but sauce was lacking flavor. The beef we had was cooked to the right temperature also, but again lacking flavor/and kind of chewy (not... More
