Merita il viaggio! L’appartamento a poche centinaia di metri dal ristorante, è incredibile! Vista spettacolare sulla vallata e dotato di piscina in una costruzione medievale. Le camere sono curate e con tutto ciò che serve. Il menù del ristorante è fantastico.. un tripudio di antipasti a buffet seguiti da due primi, due secondi con contorno e il tris di dolci. Durante la cena è passato Giorgione, che dire… simpaticissimo e disponibile con tutti!!

Una selle migliori esperienze enogastronomiche della mia vita!!! Un consiglio: andateci dopo aver digiunato un paio di giorni... Si mangia in quantità e, soprattutto, qualità esagerate! Giuseppe e Giorgione sono due persone speciali! Che bello!

Ottimo pranzo della domenica a villa selva: piatti tipici preparati con prodotti genuini. Il buffet dell’ antipasto è davvero molto ricco e dai sapori autentici. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la focaccia casereccia, lievitata in maniera perfetta e dal gusto ottimo. Come primi abbiamo mangiato lasagna ed orecchiette funghi, piselli e guanciale e proprio quest’ultimo abbinamento ci ha stupiti. Altrettanto buoni i secondi, i contorni ed il tris di dolci. Mi è sembrato di pranzare a casa della nonna. La location è accogliente, immersa nel bellissimo verde della campagna umbra. Il personale è gentile, attento e rapido, riuscendo a ridurre al minimo i tempi di attesa. Sarebbe bello ritornare e provare anche l’esperienza del pernottamento. Giorgione in sala è di grande intrattenimento, simpatico come sempre e disponibile a scattare foto con i clienti. Per noi che proveniamo dalla Basilicata, davvero ogni chilometro percorso è valso la pena!

Pranzare con Giorgione è stato iconico. Una figura mitizzata che gode giustamente del successo guadagnato: porta una cucina ricca, gustosa ma soprattutto economica. E non per la scelta delle materie prime ma solo sul conto. I prodotti sono di qualità estremamente elevata, cosa che avvicina le persone alla buona cucina. È la filosofia di Giorgione: cucina buona per tutti. Grazie di esistere e di essere ancora un baluardo che resiste a suon di burro e tradizioni.

Che dire uno dei ristoranti del grande Giorgione!!! Materie prime ottime. Antipasti a buffet infiniti e tutti buonissimi, 2 primi, 2 secondi e 3 dolci con una caraffa di vino 41 euro...che volete di più?

Lunch at Villa Selva isn't simply dining out; it's a full immersion in Giorgione's philosophy. If you're looking for minimalism or gourmet portions, you're in the wrong place: here, abundance reigns supreme, along with the true quality of the local area and the conviviality typical of old-fashioned inns. The Food: Lunch is a triumphant journey of flavors. The appetizer buffet alone is a compelling reason to visit: garden vegetables prepared in every way, top-quality local cured meats, cheeses, and focaccias that will make you want more (but you have to know how to pace yourself!). The first and second courses reflect Umbrian tradition: fresh homemade pasta with rich sauces and expertly cooked meats, where "not skimping" on high-quality olive oil and butter is the hallmark. The Atmosphere: The location is splendid, surrounded by greenery, meticulously maintained but without excessive formality. You feel right at home. The highlight is often the presence of Giorgio himself: seeing him wander among the tables in his iconic overalls, exchanging a joke with everyone and making sure no one is left empty-handed makes the experience unique. He's a host from another era. The Service: The staff is friendly, fast, and very kind, perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the inn. The price is absolutely fair considering the quantity and, above all, the freshness of the ingredients used. Conclusion: You leave feeling full, happy, and with the feeling of having eaten "real" food. It's the ideal place for a long, unhurried lunch in the company of friends or family. I highly recommend booking well in advance! Pros: Quality of the ingredients, generous portions, the presence of the legendary Giorgione. Cons: It's hard to stop eating!

Eating at Villa Selva was like being at home. The welcome and attention from Maria (Giorgione's daughter) were truly pampering. Giorgione himself was available to answer any questions and...photos. His humility always strikes me. What can I say about the food? Poetry in every bite...the appetizers were rich in everything...the pasta was strictly handmade, delicious, and the second courses were tender pork and guinea fowl. Chocolate cake, strozzetti with almonds and chocolate, and panna cotta. A truly excellent combination of quality and price. Congratulations to everyone.

Wonderful, exactly what I wanted when we booked! Giorgione's presence also enlivened the evening, and he was absolutely helpful and kind! I had the opportunity to see the kitchens, even from the outside, and they were very clean and impeccable! We had a small issue with a glass, but the staff were incredibly helpful and fixed everything immediately, truly impeccable. Overall, an experience worth experiencing and watching.

Is it really necessary to explain why it's 5 stars? The food is spectacular and plentiful, and given the quality, the price is more than fair. It's not fine dining, it's very homely. Giorgione is also a wonderful person; even though he's incredibly busy, he stops at every table to joke and take a photo.

As a non-fan of Giorgione (I simply don't follow him), I can say that the place is very beautiful, the staff (very young) is very professional and helpful. Giorgione is very friendly and available for conversation, photos, etc., and makes you feel very comfortable. The food is delicious, with excellent ingredients and high-quality preparation. You definitely won't leave on an empty stomach, and the price is excellent. Truly, everything is perfect!

I've been longing to try Giorgione's cuisine for a while, after years of watching videos of "ugly and corrupt" recipes. We tried to book a restaurant in Montefalco, but to no avail, we were redirected to the restaurant run by his sons, Villa Selva. A truly stunning location surrounded by greenery. The welcome was excellent, and the staff were kind and attentive. Reading several reviews, I've noticed that people haven't quite grasped Giorgione's cuisine. If you're expecting Michelin-starred cuisine with dishes that will make you say "wow," you're not in the right place. It's simple, with local dishes, but well-crafted and made with top-quality ingredients. The highlight is the appetizer buffet, and that alone might be worth the price of the menu. You can choose from a variety of cured meats, cheeses, focaccias and pizzas, soups and creamed soups, and more. Be careful not to overdo it, or you won't enjoy the rest of the menu. The first course includes two main courses: lasagna and spaghetti with radicchio, and bacon creamed with cheese (the latter were truly delicious). A second course of capon and roast pork ribs with a Sagrantino reduction, accompanied by baked potatoes and garden salad. To finish, a trio of desserts: panna cotta, chocolate brownie, and aniseed donuts. During lunch, Giorgione also arrived and entertained the guests with his charming personality. In conclusion, is this a restaurant worth traveling hundreds of kilometers to eat at?! I'd say no, and don't expect that, either, because it doesn't pretend to be. It's an excellent restaurant with a cuisine that celebrates traditional dishes without any particular reinterpretations, focusing more on the raw ingredients than on the visual presentation. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit; you won't be disappointed.

"There is no love more sincere than the love of food." It is with the knowledge that words struggle to fully describe the emotions felt at my friend Giorgione's table that I am writing this review. First, I would like to sincerely thank the host, not only for the exquisite hospitality but also for the deep and sincere friendship that binds us. Giorgione, you are a unique and inimitable character, a true genius loci who skillfully blends ancestral tradition and top-quality food. Your culinary art is not simple preparation, but a skillful and thoughtful alchemy that combines ingredients to create dishes with divine and unparalleled flavors. Each bite is a tasteful epiphany, a recollection of authentic flavors from the past. A warm thank you also goes to the wonderful family who supports you with commendable kindness and dedication: the kind Marianna, your wife, and your children, Michele, Giuseppe, and Maria. Their frankness and sincere welcome are the hallmarks of the experience. It's admirable to see how they embody a sense of belonging, while maintaining an unwavering loyalty to friendships, even those far away. The kilometers traveled to reach you were not an obstacle at all, but simply a tool that exponentially amplified the desire to meet you. Each time, the meeting is a moment of pure joy and shared happiness, nourishing the spirit as much as Giorgione's divine food nourishes the body. Whether you find yourself in the elegant setting of Villa Selva or within the history-filled walls of the Ristorante Storico on Via di Mezzo in Montefalco, the atmosphere is always the same: here, magnanimous hospitality and excellent, delicious food reign supreme. In conclusion: Dear Giorgione and family, when passing through your area, a stop is an absolute must! But know that I'll gladly come just for you... Highly recommended for those seeking the true essence of taste and friendship.

While planning our vacation in central Italy, we attempted to book a table at Giorgione in Montefalco, "invited" by the famous owner's numerous recipe videos. Unable to find a table, we were very kindly redirected to his sons' restaurant, which we honestly didn't know. They gave us all the necessary information, including Giorgione's schedule, and this alone was a good sign for us: clear communication, follow-up, precision, attention to detail—including the advance explanation of the fixed menu (drinks not included). Once we finally arrived, the experience fully met our expectations. The location is beautiful, surrounded by greenery but not difficult to reach. The welcome was excellent, not only from Giorgione, who needs no introduction and was very helpful even with only half an hour to spare, but also from his sons and the staff, who were very knowledgeable and courteous. Of course, there's not much to say about the food: the appetizer is definitely the highlight, offering a truly all-you-can-eat selection, and theoretically that alone would be worth the price of the fixed menu. We decided not to linger too long—and the temptation was strong!—to fully enjoy the first and second courses—specifically, amatriciana, ricotta ravioli with gorgonzola, walnuts, and radicchio, capon à l'orange, and beef braised in Sagrantino wine, served with baked potatoes and a side salad. These are traditional dishes, but excellently prepared, well-seasoned but not overly salty or overpowering. Even the dessert selection was on par with the rest of the dinner. We didn't stay overnight, but the dinner experience was definitely more than positive, definitely worth the fixed price—in fact, proportionally, even more. And, from what we were able to interact with, Giorgione's courtesy and friendliness truly are as good as they are on video!

Warm,gracious staff attending to all your needs.Delight breakfast. Comfy,clean,rooms with Lovely views. The pool was refreshing,and the grounds added to the relaxation. Surely a little bite of heaven.

Sophie Clarke

The restaurant here is unmissable. Open a few days a week (from Wednesday thru the weekend). Pay €30 per person for an (incredible!) antipasto buffet then 2 types of pasta to try, 2 types of meat and a dessert. Absolutely delicious. Regarding the accommodation, it’s very ‘Italian’ and simple accommodation. If you’re prepared to adapt to the local style, definitely worth the rating. Nothing luxury, but local and very comfortable with well fitted out bathroom.

Beautiful people, beautiful food in beautiful surroundings. The Umbrian landscape is truly breathtaking. 90 minutes from Rome and 15 minutes from the historic hilltop town of Todi there is plenty to …

Siamo stati ospiti a pranzo e, a dir la verità, siamo rimasti un po' perplessi. Per gli antipasti, niente da dire, anzi. Tanta varietà e tutti prodotti ottimi, sia quelli cucinati che quelli no. Sui primi ci aspettavamo sinceramente di più, sia dalle pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale che l'altro primo con salsiccia e funghi, solo nella media. I secondi, non hanno incontrato molto il nostro gusto. La porchetta in particolare modo era veramente troppo, troppo grassa. La faraona, molto secca, asciutta. In conclusione, ci aspettavamo tanto di più. Le 4 stelle per il nome di Giorgione e per gli antipasti, magari abbiamo solo preso il giorno sbagliato.

Abbiamo cenato con famiglia e amici...nulla di che...ma ce lo aspettavamo. La grande delusione è stata la pasta, scotta...entrambe le portate. E poi un secondo...un mini panino con porchetta, panino all olio...diciamo che nel complesso non ci tornerei, è stata un'esperienza vista la popolarità dats dal sig. Giorgione, ma sicuramente ci posti dove si mangia decisamente meglio.

Ottimo l'antipasto a buffet. I primi e i secondo piatti, mi hanno lasciato indifferente. Diciamo che siamo arrivati con aspettative elevate. Servizio molto cordiale

Average place, very slow service, waiters who didn't know what was for the first or second course. You'd order water and it would arrive after ten minutes. An ideal place for those who want to stuff themselves. The appetizers are good, it must be said, and there's a certain amount of attention to detail, especially with the cheeses. The first and second courses are completely average. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the hype isn't justified. The place is completely average, nothing special, but nothing good either. Definitely not worth traveling the miles from Rome or other cities.

Siamo arrivati con tante aspettative insieme a degli amici che erano stati già 3 volte (1 anni prima) e ne erano rimasti contenti , ma purtroppo stavolta ne siamo rimasti delusi. Personale scortese, attese lunghissime anche solo per una bottiglia di acqua. Abbiamo mangiato l’antipasto senza il pane e il vino pur avendolo chiesto più volte e siamo stati costretti ad alzarci per avere la carta dei vini. I primi troppo salati, i secondi freddi e immangiabili. Di certo non lo consiglierei. Dulcis in fundo Giorgione é venuto al nostro tavolo per fare una foto (non richiesta da noi) non preoccupandosi assolutamente dell’andamento della cena.

Esperienza molto negativa, camerieri svogliati e non attenti , avendo chiesto più volte il pane e acqua ... dopo che avevamo quasi finito l'antipasto è arrivato il pane , i primi nella norma se non x il cameriere che ci ha sbattuto il vassoio sul tavolo e x finire i secondi faraona e l'altro secondo freddi , peccato xché ci ero stata 2 anni fa e ci si stava veramente bene .... non lo consiglio .
