What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ristorante La Selva is lauded for its breathtaking views, exceptional service, and delicious, well-executed dishes, making it a standout gem in Assisi. Diners consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere and the attentiveness of the staff. While the food is a major draw, some find portions for sides like roasted potatoes to be insufficient.
"Stopped here for a coffee and pastry on the way to the basilica one morning and the vibes were amazing. Service was incredible and the coffee was spectacular. The Nutella croissant and the ham and cheese pastry were very good and the views from the terrace were incredible overlooking the hills of Assisi. Prices were reasonable and it wasn’t super busy on a Monday morning which was nice."

"This is such a great restaurant. Beautiful views in such a great city. The lasagna with rabbit was my favorite thing. It was so delicious. And who would have thought mint ice cream with roasted pineapple would have tasted so good together. Veronica was absolutely amazing."

"We had dinner at this wonderful gem of a restaurant. The proprietor Veronica and her husband, the chef produced the perfect blend of care and detail to the food our group enjoyed on our final evening together. We asked that they choose the menu for us, asking to be surprised and they exceeded all of our expectations. Located slightly off the beaten track yet almost a stones throw away from the Basilica San Francesco and the Bosco Forest reserve - a very special place to dine, have that coffee or just unwind with a drink. Bookings recommended for the tables with the best views. Thanks Veronica and team. They take pride in the food they prepare and serve and bring that Italian passion into all that they do. We sure felt it was the best meal during our week in Assisi."
