Il Malandrino Bistrot

The four of us had a fabulous meal here. Lovely setting. Attentive and informative staff. Marvelous food.
I only got pictures of my food. The boar ragu was yummy and so was the lemon cake. Everyone loved their dish and we all had different entrees. Can’t go wrong.

Simply the best. We happened upon this place for a mid-day snack, and having tried 2 of their specials that were exquisite we returned for dinner. SO GLAD WE DID. The food was tremendous, which we chose after having a great consultation with the knowledgeable staff. Everything was delicious, the staff was the perfect balance of attentive and non-intrusive. I recommend heartily, this is easily the best meal I’ve had in now 4 trips throughout Italy. Every squiggle of sauce across the beautiful plating was the right accompaniment and added to the complex yet balanced flavors.

Very nice restaurant. Classy with a large wine offering. Friendly waiters that speak fluent Italian and English. Large terrace, but when it's hot it's nice to sit inside, because it's air-conditioned. The food is fine bistro food: risotto, tartar, beef,... all was seasoned right, it was a delight.

Amazing meal with very friendly service. The beef tartare with truffle & the tortellini were both incredible, and the lemon cake was one of the best desserts I have ever had. Highly recommended coming here!!

This was an amazing experience. We both had the cacio e pepe pasta and the tiramisu, which was really tasty and fresh. The staff were friendly and explained some of the dishes to us as well, which I thought was great. Will come back if I’m ever in Orvieto again.

Easter Sunday in a foreign country was coming up and I’d left booking somewhere for solo lunch a bit late. My host recommended this restaurant and put a good word in with them so I’d get first dibs at a table outside in the event of fine weather (they were fully booked indoors). I have to admit that the red and white checked table clothes made me apprehensive that it might be a sub-par tourist haunt, but it was all good. Excellent food (my first ever fresh truffles) and the wine was lovely. I’m happy to recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a delightful dining experience in Orvieto.

Our server was so kind and so knowledgeable! He thought us some new things about Tuscan food and wine and selected an amazing wine that we loved. Food was divine! So fresh and flavorful and they’re so generous with truffles- we loved every bite! Thank you so much!

Gluten free noted on menu for options. I got brought gluten free bread with my own spread as an entree! I had the wild boar pasta which was one of the best GF pastas I have had!! Crème brûlée for desert to top off a lovely meal. Thank you

The bore dish was amazing. Fried cod was perfectly cooked, not too much batter and the potatoes to match. Wine selection is great. Early 2000s feel

There is no better in Orvieto.
Prices a couple of Euros higher than other places, but completely class

Excellent! Not at all the tourist trap I worried it might have been, there is an emphasis on excellence and innovation evident here, combined with a respect for local and traditional elements. Great dishes, wine, service and interesting amouse bouche! We loved it and it stood out, even after many other delicious Italian meals. Highly recommended!

Roast octopus, Sicilian cannoli, tortellli with cheese, topped with fresh truffle, and the vegetable terrine with buffalo mozzarella. D I V I N E ! You better reserve a table or prepare to cry when you are turned away. Did I mention the excellent service?

This place has a great air conditioning and the staff were very helpful . The food was excellent, every one of us were very pleased with the dish they got and also there’s a lot of gluten free options that were really good like pasta and bread. I would recommend this place

My wife and six other friends who traveled from June 3rd to June 18th, dined at this lovely restaurant. Quite frankly, it was among the best, if not the best meals and desserts we experienced during our entire stay. The service was impeccable and the setting was enjoyable and relaxing. Highly recommended...

Delicious food, beautiful restaurant and great service. We have two young kids and they made sure they were served first.

Very nice food here. We enjoyed our meals. The location and staff were very good too.

we ate one antipasti, two primari and 2 glasses of wine.
food was great and the service was excellent

Arguably the best meal we've had in 7 weeks travelling through Italy. My wife had the spicy chicken and I had pork steak in a pepper sauce. They were both absolutely lovely and cooked really well. Service was excellent and the ambience was lovely and calm. We had a thoroughly good evening.

The food here is beyond expectations. The service is magnificent. The atmosphere is beautiful. I strongly recommend trying the unique food here.

We arrived late the night before closing in the rain and cold. The staff served us perfectly, the food, wine and dessert were very good.
