I am a chef and organize food and wine trips to Italy. I have been bringing friends and customers to Duca di Orvieto for years now and always had great food and a wonderful time talking to chef Adler. Adler has been reserching ancient recipes of her native Orvieto and only serves very special dishes which often require special ingredients... More

If you are looking for typical local cuisine but also want to enjoy an original experience then Il Duca di Orvieto is the place to go. The food here is very fresh and all handmade using local products and traditional recipes. The owner who is also the chef comes around the tables talking to all the guests and sharing her... More

Better than many typical Umbrian restaurants in a quiet part of Orvieto with pleasant enough decor. The owner couldn't have been more attentive. The food was carefully prepared and presented But after five months in Umbria searching several times a week for something other than tipico with almost no success I can without hesitation say that Umbrian food is often...

Orvieto is one of the birthplaces of the Slow Foods Movement. The food here seems to be all completely handmade from scratch using locally sourced products. You can really taste how fresh this food is.

One of the best places to eat all over Italy, believe me. The restaurant decoration is simple, but the food proposal is amazing, typical Orvieto preparation made with exquisite taste and love. They offer a menu crafted with passion for keeping the food as it was centuries ago, fresh natural and delicious. The best food/concept I have tried in my... More

A lovely quaint restaurant and after lunch we bought the best bottle of red wine from the restaurant, which we took back to our cruise ship to drink with friends. One day I would really like to return to this wonderful town ... the cobbled streets, the souvenirs, the people, the church, the culture, the fun ... loved every minute... More

I enjoyed hearing a story behind all old recipies from ancient times and tasting the delicious home made pasta, soups and cakes. The owner is... More

We felt cheated by the idea that on a previous visit to Orvieto we had never discovered Duca, The food has echoes of recipes from the past, not in a fussy way, but in the tradition of maintaining regionality and specialities using local produce. We ate in the restaurant twice during our stay and felt privileged to do so. Meats... More

We happened onto the Duca di Orvieto during our one-night stay in this little village. We were the only diners on a Monday evening. Signora Adler, the owner and executive chef welcomed us with extraordinary warmth and regaled us with stories about the food. Signora Adler has designed her recipes from historic dishes and executes them with style and passion.... More

My wife and I were eagerly recommended this place by a shop keeper near the church. Despite the directions on the back we did have to ask a few times where it was. But it was oh so worth it. The food is interesting and delicious. The owner/chef specializes in recreating traditional Umbrian dishes. And with this comes much extra... More
