Italian restaurants in Perugia

  1. A

    Il Gufo

    The owner/chef gathers ingredients from local markets and cooks up whatever is fresh and in season. Try dishes such as cinghiale (wild boar) with fennel (€12.50) or riso nero (black rice) with grilled vegetables and brie (€12.50). There is always a good selection of salads for €5. Note: no credit cards.

    Caffè di Perugia

    The fanciest sit-down cafe in town, its desserts are worth the high prices. It also serves a fine choice of basic pasta and meat dishes and offers outdoor seating in summer.

    Ristorante dal Mi’Cocco

    Don’t ask for a menu because there isn’t one at this most traditional Perugian restaurant. Diners receive a set menu of a starter, main course, side dish and dessert. You may receive asparagus risotto in May, or tagliatelle (long, ribbon-shaped pasta) with peas and ham in November. Extremely popular with students, it’s best to call ahead.

    Ristorante Nanà

    It’s a good sign when approximately 47 members of the same family run a 15-table restaurant. Simply furnished with a small menu, the food is ‘ nuovo italiano ’: pâté with Sardinian flatbread (€7) or gnochetti (little gnocchi) in a pepper and radicchio cream sauce (€6.50). The wine list is equally impressive and affordable.

    Wine Bartolo Hosteria

    Descend a staircase into a hobbit-like burrow that’s surrounded by walls of wine bottles around a handful of cosy tables underneath a low brick ceiling. Staff do beautiful things with Chianina beef – stewed with Sangiovese or as a carpaccio with lemon over radicchio.

    Ristorante Sole

    Sure, there are better-quality restaurants in Perugia, but you're here for the view. The pasta's not bad, and the duck carpaccio with truffles and grana might just trick you into thinking you came here for the food.

    Bar Centrale

    This is a popular meeting place for students, with an indoor salon and umbrella-topped outdoor tables where you can munch a panini and watch students on the cathedral steps.
