Dining out in Assisi is of course fundamentally an ethical question. Ideally, you would skip all meals. But visiting Assisi is a conflict between piety and beauty, effort and healthy appetite. Having been in five different churches, walking miles up-hill and down again and venerating two top saints, one feels a bit peckish. Despite the Francescan ideals of humility, poverty... More

I went back twice and would have done more times if I had more days left in Assisi. The pizza is juicy!!!! I mean J-U-I-C-Y!!!! Soooooo delicious I am still telling people about it a week later. Service is professional and friendly too, with a nice balance of humour and charm. You have to go here. Pizza's were about 7-10... More

Locals fill the place, good service, wood fired pizza oven at one end of the dining area and the kitchen separate. Not just a pizza parlor, everything available. Wine by the carafe with white either fizzy or still, your choice. Who knew?

We didn't do any research on this place - we were just hungry and had given up on following signs to obscure places where we couldn't find restaurants. Being jet-lagged and newly arrived the whole family was fixated on pizza and man, did we pick the place. Awesome wood-fired pizza - each one was spectacular and the best of the... More

It was a hot day in Assisi, and we were tired and hungry. Just went down from the St. Francisco Cathedral and were looking for a place to eat. We found out the hard way that most of the restaurants are up in the city so we had to climb up back again and finally "bumped" into this restaurant. We... More

I Monaci is a little restaurant recommended by our tour guide on a recent trip to Assisi. We visited it on a beautiful evening, after a short walk from our hotel. Margherita pizza is my favorite, and theirs was perfection, in my view. My husband agreed. Local atmosphere, good food, down to earth service, and fair prices. I'll go again... More

Take time to find this restaurant...look for the huge 'horse' statue and take the stairs. There are signs but it is slightly off the beaten track and down a series of steps. Once inside you can enjoy the beautiful old architecture and unique atmosphere. Their wood fired pizza oven delivers those wonderfully delicious Italian pizzas and their other local dishes... More

We eat at I Monaci at least twice per month and have done so for the last 5 years. The reasons? The food is great, the atmosphere is fantastic and the staff are friendly. This family run ristorante is traditional and authentic. For me there are only two choices - the pizza or the lasagne. This is one of the... More

After a long day of walking in Assisi all I wanted was a pizza. We stumbled onto this little place as we headed back to our hotel. We showed up at 7pm which was a little too early but were seated and waited. They came and took our order and we were served in a good amount of time. The... More
