This will be a big year for Assisi but La Fortezza will cope. Set just off the main street, all that this restaurant lacks is a panoramic view - everything else is superb. Visiting at lunchtime we were warmly welcomed and treated with consideration. The food was just excellent, distinctive with good variety and very reasonably priced. A good wine... More

My son and I took a day trip from Perugia to Assisi (on Easter Saturday so it was packed!) without lunch reservations; we tried two different places recommended on trip advisor and both were full but the staff at Pallotta recommended Fortezza; we easily got a table and we seemed to be the only non-Italians there; we got the 31...

We went here for lunch and were amazed at the flavor and quality of the food. I ate wild boar cooked in a wine sauce and it was absolutely perfect with a wonderful stout flavor. I didn't want the meal to be over. We had the house wine and liked it as well. The waiter was thorough and polite. The... More

This restaurant is up some steps in the middle of town. Great food, great wine, great service, not cheap but not expensive...great! (I had the pigeon, and it was fantastic.)

Assisi is a vibrant, busy and beautiful town to visit. Well worth searing just back from the main streets & piazzas to find La Fortezza. Take the time to enjoy the wonderful service and friendly and helpful and charming staff. The food was exceptional - both the pasta and the meat dishes were superb. Well priced and a memorable experience.... More

Title says it all. Loved this place for the quality of food, the service and the great atmosphere. The waiter was very attentive and looked after us with our broken Italian. Pastas were great and the duck main course was outstanding. A great evening and I highly recommend this place.

This restaurant was recommended to me and my friend by a very friendly taxi driver from Assisi. It looked a bit poshy and the waiter was a bit like "are you sure that it is a good place for you to eat" (we were not in the best outfits) but we really enjoyed the food which was not only of... More

If you are tired of the tipical touristic ristorante, try this one. A looks a bit chique, but the prices are not high and the food is good.

Assisi is interesting but very touristic. We looked for a more local restaurant but found this hidden gem. Very nice food, excellent service and acceptable prices. We only had lunch there this time but we will for sure also dine there next time.
