Locanda Dell'arco - SORANO

The restaurant has traditional Italian cuisine, I felt like I was at the hosts house having dinner, because it is so welcoming and the hosts are so attentive and friendly. The menu is small but you are able to try lots of different things. A lovely family restaurant in a beautiful town.

I arrived before 1:00 but when they eventually came to take my order, there seemed to be only 3 dishes on offer. I ordered one of these, but after an extraordinarily long time, they came back to say this dish was no longer available. So I ordered a lasagna. After a while they came to change the flowers on the table. It seemed they to had wilted during the wait. My sad little lasagna arrived, cold in the middle. All-in-all a very disappointing experience.

We read the reviews for this place on TA and decided to make it our dinner place for the one night we were in Sorano. It was a great choice! Locanda is a cute little restaurant, filled with mostly locals and a few tourists. We ordered bruschetta which was amazing!! We also ordered 2 primis, 2 glasses of wine and a cherry tartlet for dessert... all for less than €30!

Should have known when there was no-one else in there not to proceed. Service was like something from Faulty Towers and there was a cast of characters in residence that could have been a scene from a Fellini movie. Our table was beseiged by flying/crawling bugs coming out of moulding on the wall which got into our food drinks. Ordered 2 platters of cheese meats glasses of wine. Food was inedible so we drank our wine beat a hasty retreat.

Such a lovely place. Old fashioned family restaurant. The owner and his mum were friendly and nice. There is a menu with starters but about main dishes the owner informs you personally because they are dishes of the day. We took two different platters with different local cheese and meat, wine, pasta and some local liqueur, that we were told to try. Absolutely everything was yummy. The food is rather simple, its not a haute cuisine but very tasty. Im glad we suddenly found this cosy place, because the town doesn't have a lot of restaurants and they all were booked in advance, when we came to Sorano late night!
