Boutique Hotel al Grappolo d'Oro

Just a few hundred metres from the church of Sant’Ercolano in a narrow alleyway in the heart of Perugia’s historic centre, this restaurant is home to chef Ada Stifani who serves expertly prepared contemporary cuisine with a regional flavour. There are two dining rooms here: one with an open-view kitchen and the other with a modern and elegant mezzanine. Among the highlights, don’t miss the tagliatelle with cardoncelli mushrooms and scampi which is full of perfectly balanced, intense flavours.

Perched on a hill just a few kilometres from Torgiano, Quattro Sensi boasts a veranda with views of Perugia, which is perfect for a quick lunch, and an elegant dining room in which you can enjoy regional dishes such as pappardelle egg pasta with a Cinturello Orvietano pork ragù with orange and fennel.

Dining options at this restaurant include an attractive outdoor terrace with views of the surrounding area (in summer) and a friendly bistro-style dining room. We particularly enjoyed the linguine with carp roe, as well as the stuffed pigeon.

This complex, which also includes two junior suites and seven guestrooms, dates back to the early 17C and was commissioned by the Church as a stopping off point for travellers on their way to Rome. For many years now, the restaurant has been run by a Venetian family with twin brothers (both highly experienced) working in the kitchen and a third brother, a sommelier, at the helm in the dining room. The cuisine is inspired by local and Venetian traditions, with a modern approach to the combinations of flavours (including home-grown herbs) and to the presentation of its delicious, generous dishes

Tradition and a cosmopolitan spirit combine in this highly original and exciting restaurant which serves spectacular and unusual dishes such as cuttlefish ink tagliolino with a perch ragù. An ideal setting, either for dinner with friends or a business lunch (the menu for the latter is displayed on a blackboard).
