OYO莉拉贝尔维拉

Situated right in the centre of Assisi, La Locanda del Cardinale occupies an old palazzo that is home to the perfectly preserved remains of a Roman villa dating back to 70 BC in a fascinating setting full of history. The menu features simple recipes such as crispy organic egg with asparagus and marjoram, as well as more elaborate, modern dishes including quail and Danubio brioche with barbecued artichoke. It’s not surprising that this delightful restaurant also boasts a superb wine cellar with an array of carefully chosen labels that will delight wine-enthusiasts.

On the edge of Assisi’s historic centre, within the refined setting of the Nun hotel, Benedikto offers a selection of classic Umbrian products, but the gastronomic proposal is principally creative and of a high order. In fine weather, dining on the terrace with its view over the Rocca di Assisi takes on a particularly romantic quality.

This restaurant is named after Bartolo da Sassoferrato (as is the street on which it stands), a distinguished 14C jurist. From the street, you head down a few steps to the welcoming dining rooms with their historic ambience and brick-vaulted ceilings that keep the temperature pleasantly cool. The cuisine, which focuses exclusively on meat, is traditional and regional in flavour – an entire section of the menu is dedicated to black truffles in season. Friendly and attentive service.
