While on a day trip to Assisi, I looked for a restaurant close to Piazza Comune. We were a group of 8 ladies and il Menestrella was a perfect fit.. No only was the setting very unique surrounded by ancient stone walls..there was even a room with glass floors so you could observe the Roman ruins below while dining!! The food choices were a good fit for our group - 2 needed gluten and lactose free items.. they had both available - gluten free bread & pasta and sauces with no cream or cheese. So everyone was able to order what they wanted.. The restrooms are also very nice & clean. Highly recommend this dining venue when you are in Assisi..
