A suit of armour stands sentry outside this friendly main-street osteria, ushering diners inside for a filling meal of earthy Umbrian fare. You can dig into reliable crowd-pleasers such as lenticchie con salsiccia (lentils with sausage) and manfricoli, the local pasta speciality that's served here in numerous ways. Alternatively, wood-fired pizzas provide an ever-welcome fail-safe.
