My family and I have spent months in Cortona over the past few years, and have eaten in many wonderful restaurants here, but we only ate here at Ad Braceria for the first time today. A local friend of ours recommended it, and we couldn't be happier that he did.
The restaurant itself is situated in an ancient cellar containing an old Etruscan road, cellar, and well dating back before the Romans. An incredible place to have a meal, but I wouldn't have cared where we were once the food arrived. Truly incredible.
Three of us had pici pasta with fresh tomatoes, basil, and pecorino. My wife had a cacio pepe and tuna pasta. We loved them all. The lamb secondi and dessert we ordered were equally divine.
The service was warm and hospital. Truly a 10 out of 10 restaurant. We'll be adding it to our list of regulars here in Cortona. Mille grazie!
