Reviewers consistently praise Il Falisco’s tiramisù as a standout, calling it a perfect, soulful finish. The overall vibe is warm and convivial, with dishes celebrated for their comforting, authentic Italian simplicity.
“Sergio's tiramisù is assembled on the spot, so the biscuit stays crunchy. The cream is good, the crunchy note is very pleasant. He uses pavesini instead of ladyfingers, but in the end it's good.”
“The tiramisù is excellent, it disappeared immediately. It's not like the one from Fardi, but it's still a great tiramisù.”

TRATTORIA NASCOSTA in UMBRIA con 50 ANNI di STORIA !!! · @ 0:04

Dishes mentioned
Panzanella
The panzanella here is made the Umbrian way, with cherry tomatoes, onion, celery, carrots, cucumber, and stale soaked bread. It's very delicate with vinegar, just the way I like it, and the veggies are super fresh. Maybe it's a bit early in the season for it, but it's delicious — the bread is soaked just right.
Fagioli con le Cotiche
The beans with pork rinds are super good. They have a little carrot in there, it's a soffritto made at the beginning with onion. They're spectacular — we ordered a second plate.
Prosciutto
This ham is really fragrant, cut from the knuckle. It has a young aging, not salty at all, not overly seasoned, but has great potential.
Guanciale (Barbazza)
The guanciale is fatty, but it melts in your mouth. It has a nice almond-like flavour, fantastic. The aged part is excellent, there's a bit of spice around but not too much.
Caciotta di Pecora
The pecorino cheese doesn't look like much, but it's delicious. Delicate, young, with a hint of spiciness. Perfect aging for a young cheese, probably from one of the local farms in Montefalco.

Coratella d'Agnello con Fagioli
The lamb coratella, a wonderful fifth quarter, served with beans of different varieties. I used to not eat innards but now I've transformed and I'm proud of it. It's one of the best things we've eaten since the start of the channel.
Paccheri con Ragù Bianco e Zafferano
The paccheri with white ragù and saffron are good, you can really taste the carrot. Mamma mia, so beautiful.
Gnocco Ripieno con Burrata e Sugo di Pomodorino
The stuffed gnocco with burrata and light tomato and basil sauce is too good. Inside there's burrata and it's spectacular.
Costina
The rib is cooked just right: it has a crust on the outside and inside it stayed moist, tender, good. From now on all videos in Tuscany I'll take Gianni with me.
Grigliata Mista
The second course is easy, everything straight from the grill to the plate: neck steak, sausage, bracciolina, rib. No need to look, it all comes good.
