The daily diary of a wandering restaurateur
May 23 - Ristorante Il Convento
Ristorante Il Convento is a restored convent where St. Francis of Assisi once stayed. The building has been around for 1200 years! The main restaurant is on the lower level and is ably presided over by Roberto who did everything that had to be done in the front of the house.
Up a worn flight of stone steps and you arrive at the original dining room for the monks, now a private dining room for wedding receptions and other special occasions. The room will hold 120 people.
