Restaurants in Assisi

Benedikto holds a Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025) and a 4.7 Google rating, making it the most technically serious table in Assisi. Set inside the Nun hotel at €€€, it runs a creative modern kitchen with Umbrian roots — and the terrace dinner with a fortress view is a genuine occasion. Booking is easy, so there is no reason to pass if you are already in town.

La Locanda del Cardinale is Assisi's most compelling dinner reservation: a Michelin Plate-recognised creative kitchen set inside a palazzo above a preserved Roman villa from 70 BC. At €€€, it is accessible and easy to book, with a wine cellar that justifies a long evening. The combination of serious cooking, historical setting, and a considered wine list is not replicated elsewhere in town.

A Michelin Plate-recognised modern Italian restaurant in Assisi, Il Frantoio recently underwent a considered refurbishment and built its cooking around extra-virgin olive oil as a central ingredient. At €€€, it offers the most clearly conceptual meal in the city with floor-to-ceiling views over the valley. Book for lunch, and return during olive harvest season in autumn for the full effect.
