In the historic center of this charming village above the lake, this spot is a great place to explore Umbrian cuisine, particularly traditional dishes featuring freshwater fish. For example? The oven-roasted medallion of porchetta-style carp, which offers a rich and succulent flavor!
WebsiteEnjoy beautiful views of Lake Trasimeno from the outdoor terrace of this restaurant, where the menu focuses mainly on fish, alongside original ingredients such as beans and Umbrian truffles which are used in typical specialities such as tegamaccio (fish stew).
WebsiteSituated in the historic centre of Passignano, where the village seems to jut out into Lake Trasimeno (some tables in the main dining room boast views of the lake – make sure you book in advance), Il Molo has been run by the Pellegrini family since 1978. The restaurant has become a popular choice for guests keen to try top-quality fish from the lake as well as excellent poultry dishes, with dishes showcased on an à la carte and three tasting menus. We highly recommend the herb bottoni pasta with sunfish and saffron butter. There’s also a good choice of sparkling wines and champagnes.
WebsiteShelves stacked with wine bottles line the walls at this smart bistro-style restaurant, which also boasts a quiet outdoor space for summer dining. The cuisine is contemporary and creative and is showcased on three tasting menus from which dishes can also be ordered à la carte. We highly recommend the pink shrimp, broad beans, lovage and almond dish – one of the chef’s iconic specialties. Courses here are divided into meat, fish and vegetable sections (Terra, Acqua and Vegetale).
WebsiteHoused within an ancient mill in the village of Chiugiana, a small hamlet of Corciano, the osteria offers contemporary cuisine deeply rooted in the local area. Ingredients are carefully selected, and the wine list tells the stories of small producers, both local and national, with a special focus on artisanal and natural wines.
WebsiteSituated in the heart of a small medieval castle-hamlet, this traditional-style restaurant with an attractive terrace on the historic square provides the setting for local specialities such as freshwater fish and truffles in season. There’s also a wine boutique on the same piazza (reached as soon as you come into the historic centre), which sells typical local produce and a good selection of wine. The latter also features on the restaurant’s wine list, with the family on hand to offer recommendations.
