10/10This place is truly outstanding. The brilliantly seasoned steak was perfectly prepared with seared crispy outside and tender center, the rabbit melted in the mouth, and the carbonara was heaven on earth. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and engaged with their guests. It is a top restaurant in Orvieto and the region. Highly recommend!

10/10Initially a most welcoming and unpretentious arrival. I only had two courses a beetroot and pecorino flan and a rolled and filled rabbit. Both were excellent. However, there was something else here that I discerned. Firstly, a commitment to technique. But this was not technique for its own sake, or technique committed to embellishment and vanity. No, this was something more thoughtful and subtle. A commitment to balance via the elements of arrangement, colour, taste and texture. A thoughtful balance of the whole, and not that blandness of balance where each sensation is equal. All of which points to a sensibility and a commitment to consider the tastebuds of patrons. A sensibility of thought, as well as intentional modesty, and a desire to communicate, to care, to enlighten and indeed to repair the horrors many of us face when we eat almost anywhere else in this world. This is a truly great restaurant and one of Umbria’s finest.

10/10We love Capitano Del Popolo! The food is excellent, with their own ideas on the typical Umbria fare. The service is great. We eat here every time we visit Orvieto.

10/10Captain Del Popolo is simply wonderful. All of the dishes we have had there have been super, and there is more variety than most restaurants in Orvieto. The wine list is very good at a variety of prices. We try to get to beautiful Orvieto on all of our trips to Italy, and we try to dine at Capitano Del Popolo every time. Highly recommended.

9/10Very good starters (antipasto) and lovely seasonal fresh artichokes. The Maialino (baby pork) was very flavorful but a little too much fat.

9.5/10Valentina's place is welcoming and serves very good food. the dishes are a step up with interesting variations on traditional dishes. For instance, I had a ravioli with Amatriciana sauce inside the pasta, which is a nice switch. The beet flan was pretty and delicious. and my beef cheek stew was melt in your mouth tender and full of flavor. The prices a bit higher than usual, but you can taste the difference. Definitely worth it. We will be back soon.

10/10Delicious food and great service as always, but an added touch of excellent this time. We had our two nieces visiting who both have celiac disease, and not only does Capitano del Popolo have gluten-free options, but they offer the entire menu, including the spaghetti carbonara, gluten free upon request. Grazie!

10/10Lovely experience and food was fantastic. We each had a salad and 1 pasta dish. My ratatouille was very tasty and my husband loved his panzanella and we were very happy with our carbanaro

10/10This was our third visit to Capitano Del Popolo in the past few years. There are many restaurants in Orvieto that serve great food that is typical of Umbria, and what sets this restaurant apart is that their menu seems more creative while still using local ingredients. The staff is always great, and the dining rooms very comfortable. We will happily dine here on future visits to Orvieto.

10/10Capitano del Popolo is by far the most cosy restaurant in the Piazza del Popolo, due to its spacious terrace and special lighting. The prices are a bit higher here, and the result is that the crowds are gathering in other restaurants nearby, whereas the Capitano remains more quiet. The quality of the dishes, both content and presentation, is far above average. On top of that, this restaurant has an extensive wine selection! This was definitely one of our better experiences in Orvieto!

9.5/10Cozy and quiet place in the center of Orvieto. Good food and pleasant service. Been there for a quick business dinner with 2 other people. Nice location both in the interior and in the exterior patio.

8.5/10Nice restaurant, I liked the outdoor terrace with fairy lights. The restaurant even offered us a delicious entree. Food served is more elaborated than other restaurants in the city, so don’t go there if you want something more traditional. Note that the restaurant is in piazza Capitano del Popolo. Sometimes Google maps place the restaurant in another location in the city, so be careful when following directions.
