The verdict
Il Miglio takes the lead
Il Miglio scores 7,6/10, ahead of Arso (7,2) et Bottega Vera (7,2). Il Miglio offers two parallel menus: “spirito contadino” (pappardelle with wild boar, Umbrian norcineria) and “cucina di mare” with miso black cod. Caveat: this fused marine half sometimes strays from regional cuisine.
Choose Arso if…
- table contemporaine d'Orvieto cuisinant au feu des produits nommés (Verde Leprino Viterbese, Black Angus nostrano), face à la cathédrale
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,1). Named local products (Verde Leprino Viterbese, black Angus nostrano, lake fish) and stated seasonality, but no classic Tuscan regional dish is cited.
Choose Bottega Vera if…
- you prioritise typicité locale (8,6 vs 7,2) : Mostly regional menu: porchetta orvietana, cinghiale, tartufo umbro, sella di San Venanzo, torta al testo, Grechetto and Orvieto classico wines.
- you prioritise rapport qualité/prix (7,6 vs 7,3) : Affordable prices for named products: panini from 5 €, tagliere degustazione at 7 €, wines by the glass from 5 €, for an average of 15 € per person.
- your budget matters: from €15 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Choose Il Miglio if…
- you want the safest value in the duel: best overall score (7,6), across all criteria
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (7,2). One half “spirito contadino” (pappardelle with wild boar, Umbrian norcineria, scafata), the other half focused on the sea with international touches.
