the fresh bread and pasta were good. so was the tagliere platter. The rabbit dish however, was inconsistent. supposed to be a stuffed roll of some sort, all three of us ordered it and we got three different dishes...some got just the roll, some the stuffing, one both.

The food was great as wells the atmosphere and service. We had a large group of 8 people, and the restaurant owner went to great lengths to make sure we had a good experience. I would highly recommend!

The Waitress was nice enough, but she forgot to serve a dish we had ordered. Offered to bring it after dessert. The bread was sub par and we had to ask for olive oil. Tue food was okay. The place was empty at 8 pm.

A friendly welcome and delicious food - some of the best we have had in Umbria. An imaginative menu, slightly different to the normal one. Highly recommended.

We discovered this restaurant thanks to Tucci in Italy's sublime series on the kitchen of every of the 20 regio's of Italiy. Chef Valentina stars in the Umbria episode. We were keen to discover her famous pigeon recipe, but forgot that this is of cours a winter meal. We tried the rabbit and the wonderful ravioli's. We had a delightful, delicate lunch. Chef Valentina and her staff are wonderful. Perfect, friendly service

Attractive room (too chilly for patio which has great view of piazza) comfortable seating, prompt, friendly helpful service. Limited wine list. Very good rabbit. Other dishes were perfectly acceptable, but nothing special.

Fresh takes on Italian classics. Rather than generic “roasted vegetables,” we had ratatouille, imaginatively stretched to include fennel and carrots and PERFECT with fresh herbs sprinkled on the veggies. We followed up with an asparagus risotto that tasted like spring made edible. We finished with the Pavlova that was both beautiful and delicious. We were so happy with our dinner that we went back the next day for a delicious lunch. The staff was friendly and skillful, the decor inspiring with local art and historic tufa stones.

This is a mandatory restaurant for us to visit it Orvieto, and Italy. It is one of the reasons we come here. Food, wine and service are reliably wonderful. Very welcoming!

Capitano del Popolo, in Orvieto’s Piazza del Popolo away from the tourist hub around the Duomo, serves marvelous food in a friendly, casual setting. Handmade pastas were superb. An Umbrian wine recommended to us was both superb and a remarkable value. Highly recommended!

Please come here for the excellent Umbrian dishes and the welcoming, friendly staff. They play (dinner) music too which is a nice change from the quiet, traditional ristorante.

The creativity & flavors of the 5 items we selected and enjoyed, were some the best, if not the best that we have consumed during our 2 months in Italy. Very good & not heavy handed. Lentils & beans! Rabbit! Artichoke, traditional! Bread salad! Finocchio Cacio e pepe perfect! Thank you!!

Dining at Capitano Del Popolo in Orvieto was an exceptional experience! The warm, welcoming atmosphere perfectly complemented the outstanding food. Every dish was beautifully prepared, showcasing fresh, local ingredients and the rich culinary traditions of the region. The homemade pasta and the perfectly cooked meats were highlights, while the desserts were simply divine. The wine selection was thoughtfully curated, enhancing the meal with excellent pairings. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, adding a personal touch that made us feel right at home. Capitano Del Popolo is a must-visit for anyone in Orvieto seeking an unforgettable dining experience!

The dishes here are just a little bit different from other places in Orvieto. And, that is a good thing. We always try to visit this restaurant when in Orvieto. It is consistently excellent. The dining rooms are attractive, as is their patio. I enjoyed my stuffed rabbit, and the baked chicken with vegetable also excellent. Good, varied winelist. And don't forget the amaro!

Although the food was tasty…. If a little bit heavy on salt it was only luke warm ( both mains) with the side of roasted veg being cold…..ugh . We didn’t bother with dessert or coffee as the staff didn’t seem bothered

We live in Italy and have enjoyed many a memorable meal here. But, after a while, one tires of the same old menu items. Capitano offered many variations on the traditional choices, for example, a sumptuous ravioli dish with datterini tomatoes and just a touch of cinnamon. Service was informed, unobtrusive, and fun. And the restaurant has a modern vibe we appreciated. We’ll be back for sure!

We had a wonderful experience. The 3 women who run this place really care about the food they produce. We had the eggplant caponata, risotto and ravioli. Highly recommended!

This 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!

Initially 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.

We 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.

What an outstanding place! Fantastic and the team there is so friendly and warm. The food is the best I’ve eaten in all of Italy- 10/10! This is a must see and a short trip from Rome :-)

Captain 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.
