About

Nestled in the historic heart of Assisi, Osteria Piazzetta dell'Erba is a hidden culinary gem that marries traditional Italian fare with inventive fusion and expertly crafted sushi. From the moment you step onto the sunny "dehors," you’re welcomed by the aroma of fresh ingredients and the friendly warmth of a staff that knows how to turn a dining experience into an artful celebration. Featuring a rotating menu that covers everything from classic antipasti to a novel sushi menu that appears only for dinner, the restaurant offers something for every palate—vegan, vegetarian, and even gluten‑free options as well as a thoughtfully curated wine list showcasing Umbrian reds, whites, and sparkling.

Guests repeatedly highlight the attentive service, the remarkable quality of ingredients, and the creative blending of flavors that make each dish feel like a personal invitation to explore the culinary traditions of Assisi and beyond. The outdoor seating area, bathed in natural light, provides a perfect setting for a leisurely meal during the pleasant months of spring and early summer, when the winds carry the scent of fresh basil and the city is less crowded.
