Umbria Guide

PERUGIA AND PROVINCE

Sandri dal 1860 – Perugia @sandri1860perugia

One of the most historic places in Italy. A great choice from breakfast to aperitif.

I Birbi Osteria – Perugia @birbi_osteria

In the center of Perugia, a tavern that does not limit itself with the local tradition, but ranges between the regions mainly of central Italy. It is impossible not to love meats, prepared in the fireplace with charcoal or Slow Food presidia legumes offered in different preparations, as well as vegetables.

Luce Ristorante – Perugia @luce.ristorante

Luce Ristorante was founded in 2018 by Paolo and Francesco Gori, who wanted to combine Umbrian tradition with contemporary cuisine, through a logic not of revisitation, but rather of updating recipes and cooking techniques. The research takes place on cooking texts dating back to the Middle Ages to draw inspiration. All this is then translated into dishes that are easy to understand but with roots firmly planted in the Umbrian tradition.

Locanda del Capitano – Montone @giancarlopolito

A “sharing restaurant” that shares cuisine, menu and philosophy with Tipico Osteria dei Sensi. One more gastronomic, the other more traditional, both from the same land with different languages.

Tipico Osteria dei Sensi – Montone @tipicoosteria

The alter ego of the Locanda del Capitano. The typical tavern where you can play it safe, eat traditional dishes with selected and 100% Umbrian raw materials thanks to the research of Paolo Morbidoni.

Il Frantoio – Assisi @ilfrantoio

A gastronomic restaurant, recently modernized, where the room is totally glazed and offers one of the most beautiful views of Assisi, oil is not a condiment, but the main ingredient of the dishes and attention to detail is the main focus for this experience.

Trattoria Pallotta – Assisi @hotel_trattoria_pallotta

Traditional regional dishes in the village of Assisi in a rustic restaurant covered in stone with frescoed walls.

Lillotatini – Panicale @lillotatini1999

A warm and welcoming place in the small village-castle of Panicale. A stop out of time, where you can eat the typical products of the different Umbrian microclimates: from the Trasimeno eel, to the Cinta Senese ragout and cuts, up to the “scorzone” truffle.

Ristorante Trattoria Il Capanno – Spoleto @ilcapannoristorante_trattoria

A landmark in the area and a mandatory stop if you pass through Spoleto and want to eat well. Stone and wood characterize the restaurant, study and research the cuisine and completeness and professionalism the experience as a whole.

L’Acquario – Castiglione del Lago @ristorantelacquario

Taste, colors and tradition in this restaurant just above Lake Trasimeno that offers the typical regional dishes with a particular focus on freshwater fish.

La Miniera di Galparino – Città di Castello @laminieradigalparino_

Farm, farmhouse, tavern. Here you can only go for an aperitif or dinner, or you may also spend the night, relax in the kitchen, eat well surrounded by greenery and even shop for household products.

Locanda Manfredi – Paciano @locandamanfredi

A terrace with a wonderful pergola overlooking the village of Paciano – one of the most beautiful in Italy – and on the valley. The home cooking you expect to find in the best Italian taverns. Upon availability, try the Umbrian bison meat.

UNE – Capodacqua, Foligno @ristoranteune

In an old mill in Capodacqua, near Foligno, UNE – “water” in ancient Umbrian – offers its own idea of cuisine in two tasting menus that maintain a link with the territory, while telling the story of Chef Giulio Gigli.

TERNI AND PROVINCE

Lillero – Terni @lillerotrattoria

A young and fresh environment in this modern trattoria that on the one hand tells the story of Umbria, with dishes such as ciriole, on the other experiments in creations that are always tasty and direct.

Osteria dello Sportello – Arrone @osteria_dello_sportello

Smiles, history and simplicity. Sometimes the success of a restaurant seems to lie in the simplest things and at the Osteria dello Sportello this comes spontaneously.

La Palomba – Orvieto @trattorialapalomba

For more than fifty years, the Cinti family has been pursuing its idea of good, clean and fair catering. The vegetables are from the family garden, the recipes are the traditional ones, but always evolving and perfected. Do yourself a favor, try the spaghetti with black truffle.

Il Buiolo – Città di Castello @il_buiolo

From a butchery was born a tavern that, in addition to a series of traditional dishes, offers artisanal cured meats mainly from Cinta Senese, with animals raised in a semi-wild state between fields and woods. No preservatives, no synthetic flavorings, all natural.
