Firstly, many thanks to previous Tripadvisor contributors for their reviews of La Torretta - it was because of these that we chose to look for this place on a recent daytrip to Spoleto. Selection of warm mixed antipasti was excellent. Riso tartuffato was one of the most delicate and sublime dishes we have ever tasted, and the chitarrini with bacon... More

Ate here 2 years ago and wanted to return. The food is excellent. This trattoria is a peaceful, refined place for lunch. Shared 'gli assaggini della casa' for antipasti - a taste of 6 appetizers and a great start for 2 people. Then, 'strangozzi con carciofi ' (artichokes), followed by 'le salsicce tipiche' (local sausages). 1/2 liter of house red... More

After five glorious years of holidays in our apartment in Spoleto we have sold up. We will miss lots of friends, restaurants and our lovely home but the thing that we will miss most are our meals at the unassuming La Torretta. For us this is Umbrian food at its absolute best. It is Italian hospitality at its charming peak.... More

We went there on our first night and it was an excellent introduction to Spoleto dining. The location is on an under-used street so dining outside is peaceful. I started with carpaccio and had rabbit for my main course. Both were delightful. The white house wine was excellent. The red was not – but swopped instantly, to one that was,... More

We wanted to eat here because of the rave reviews, but only stumbled on it as its slightly out of the way. Its a popular restaurant, with a nice outdoor area and a menu full of interesting combinations. The two adults in our group loved it, but for the two slightly fussy teenagers the menu was just a bit too... More

We have been going to La Torretta for a number of years whilst at our holiday home in the Valnerina. From the first vist when Stefano "The Man!" controlled a full house with style and efficiency, always having time for his customers. A lovely room with good, local cooking. A real find and well worth the Trip Advisor ratings it... More

La Torretta is located on a quiet square about halfway up the hill in Spoleto, There is a nice sidewalk seating area which makes dinner a pleasant experience. Food is good without being outstanding and the prices are not the cheapest in Spoleto but overall it's well worth a visit

Excellent food and service. Delicious pasta first courses - strangozzi alla spoletina and ravioli; and chicken and steak main courses also excellent. Meringue dessert was a dream.

We first discovered this lovely Trattoria in 2001, evocatively called "The Tower", or La Torretta. It's run by two charming and immaculately dressed gents, Elio and Stefano Salvucci. I'm guessing they are father and son. You have to try the main dish "Lo sformatino di riso tartufato" (arboreo rice cooked in a broth, with butter, onion, truffle and mushrooms sauce,... More

Trattoria la Torretta was another treat in our search for dishes typical of Umbria and Spoleto. I had one typical Spoleto dish - Strangozzi alla Spoletina - fresh strangozzi pasta prepared Spoleto style. My wife and I both had the Umbrian dessert - crescionda - prepared Spoleto style. Our antipasto - gli Assagini della Casa (The Tastes of the House)... More
