A wonderful mix of remnants from its Roman and medieval pasts, Spoleto’s history actually goes back further to Bronze Age Umbria. Today, it’s best known for its annual summer Festival dei Due Mondi (Festival of Two Worlds or Spoleto Festival), honoring music, opera, theater and dance. Among the city’s many excellent historic sights are its first-century Roman amphitheatre, the 12th-century Duomo, 13th-century Ponte delle Torri aqueduct and the 14th-century hilltop fortress, Rocca Albornoziana.

Rarely you have the luck to pick the first place nearby suggested by TripAdvisor and find a special place like Cuore & Sapore. You could say that it's a testament to Italian and Umbria's cuisine if you can almost walk into a place at random and have it top the charts of the best places I ever ate at. The average in Italy is so high that it takes an extra gear or two to better it, but this is exactly what this place does: starting with service that was very welcoming and attentive. When it comes to the food everything was homemade and cooked to perfection: from the different types of bread, to the typical pasta, to the desserts. If I was a Michelin guide rater, I'd say that this place is one that deserves a detour if you're in the area.

Probably one of the best dining experiences I've had in Spoleto. Excellent service, an extensive and varied menu, friendly and courteous staff. Each course was presently beautifully, was served hot and was delicious. The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. The only issue I had was that the contori was delivered to the table after we had finished the main course, apart from that, an excellent fine dining experience. Highly recommended.

Get there early if they do not have the whole formal restaurant open. This place gets crowded fast. Our whole dinner, with wine, was 65 e for 2 and well worth it.

We stayed at the hotel and were very pleasantly surprised by the convivial atmosphere and the wonderful staff. Then came the menu with an abundance of selections and then when our selections arrived we were all overwhelmed by the quality.The accommodation was five star and then the restaurant outshone it. If anyone is oin the area they should make a point of eating at this hotel/restaurant.Staff are wonderful, food is better.

What a glorious little place this is, tucked away at the top end of the high street in Spoleto, Umbria. It's clever without being smug, original without being aloof. We were exhausted after a very long day of travelling, and quite grouchy after the fall-out from a broken-down train in Rome, so we really were not in the mood for bad food. 9Cento was charming, funky, calm, and welcoming.My husband had the aubergine pie which was rich and full of flavour, moulded and lightly dressed with a tangy tomato sauce. Much has been said in previous reviews about the amazing black rice dish, with it's striking orange pumpkin topping, but we hadn't read any previous reviews, having only arrived in Spoleto an hour before, so we arrived with absolutely no expectations and the black rice came up trumps.My pasta course with truffle was perfectly balanced, and with just a bit of crunchy topping for contrast. Next to us, four whippet-thin girls were joyfully diving into an elegant antipasti selection, artfully served on a revolving "Lazy Susan". They finished every ounce of this starter, clearly taking the night off from calorie-counting.It's such a delight to see ingredients that you recognize, being handled in such a fresh and original way. Our meal was very good value, and I never had the impression that the restaurant was straining to keep prices down, they were just really excellent preparations of traditional Italian ingredients served in innovative ways. (N.B. not everything was THAT traditional: there was pink Himalayan rock salt in the salt grinder...!)Our host quietly meandered throughout the room, chatting to customers, and really sort of just 'listeneing' to what people wanted to order, rather than 'taking their orders' in a traditional restaurant method. It was all so calm, and relaxing, and reviving, being in this small restaurant, with this beautiful food, on a lovely balmy April evening. When we finally arrived back at our hotel, we felt human again. What a great place to spend an evening. Thank you.
