The story
Osteria Da Lo Zio Andrea in Sant'Andrea delle Fratte offers an inviting grilled-focused atmosphere. According to JustUs, the trecciola d’agnello and sautéed chicory are "exceptional," showcasing the kitchen’s potential with traditional Umbrian ingredients. The grill is a clear draw, and the cozy setting adds to the appeal.
However, the experience comes at a cost. The same reviewer found the price "too high for what you get," and called the tiramisù "embarrassing." Despite the strong points, the overall value proposition falls short—JustUs concluded they "wouldn't go back at these prices." It’s a spot with flashes of brilliance, but one that needs to recalibrate its balance of quality and cost.

Osteria Da Lo Zio Andrea has potential: the atmosphere is nice, the grill is inviting, and the trecciola and cicoria are exceptional. But the price is too high for what you get, and the tiramisù is embarrassing. I wouldn't go back at these prices.
Dishes mentioned
Frittatina al Tartufo
This truffle frittatina is delicate and absolutely worth trying. It's simple but perfect.
Panzanella
This panzanella tastes like summer. I love it. It's light on the vinegar, just the way I like it. Very pleasant.
Torta al Testo con Prosciutto di Norcia
The warm torta al testo with aged Norcia prosciutto is heaven. The bread is soft and hot, the prosciutto melts. Great start.
Trecciola d'Agnello
The trecciola is crunchy on the outside, delicate flavor. Nothing like the aggressive taste of offal you expect. It's incredible. I've never liked offal but this is different. The slow grilling makes it golden and super crunchy.
Sautéed Chicory
The cicoria ripassata has plenty of garlic and chili. The garlic is strong, just how I like it. It's deadly good.
