The verdict
Il Labirinto di Adriano takes the lead
Il Labirinto di Adriano scores 8,6/10, ahead of Capitano Del Popolo (8,0). In Orvieto, chef Maurizio Di Mario serves home-style cuisine in an underground site with accessible Etruscan tunnels, spread across three rooms seating about sixty. Note: some bottles on the wine list reach €150.
Choose Capitano Del Popolo if…
- your budget matters: from €25 / pers., the lowest price in the head-to-head
Its weak point in this head-to-head: typicité locale (6,8). In Orvieto, coniglio all'orvietana, pappa al pomodoro and carciofi alla romana anchor the menu, but Angus Argentina and hamburger open it up to international tastes.

Tosco's word
The La Toscane Cachée score of 8.6 for Il Labirinto di Adriano versus 8.0 for Capitano Del Popolo, with a setting ranked in the top 6% of the catalogue, clearly settles it for you if you're looking for the unique experience: Etruscan tunnels and an assertive Umbrian territorial cuisine, for €2 more. Capitano Del Popolo, with its 3,294 reviews and a more international menu (Angus, hamburgers), will suit a group with varied tastes or a tight budget, despite a weaker local character. If the soul of Orvieto and a spectacular setting are your priorities, go to Adriano; for a simple, reliable table with more choice, choose the Capitano.
