Prosciutto crudo, stracchino e rucola, erba e salsiccia are the traditional fillings but their menu offers a good verity so that everyone is satisfied. They don't have vegan options but if you ask, they won't add any dairy ingredients! For 5€ you get a super filled piece of torta with a drink, what's better than a cheap and tasty dish? My friends and I love to eat there when we hang out in town. I really recommend this place and torta al testo is a great street food!!

Our local guide picked this restaurant which she said was "like" their fast food. But what it was…read morereally like was wood-fired stove that made bread that was like two big slices of pizza which is used to hold your sandwich ingredients; I ordered sausage (locally made and famous for) and fresh cooked spinach; I loved my huge sandwich! Looking at the menu/placemat the sandwich was 5€ and wine was .20 or 20 cents...their brand wine! If we were traveling on our own we may have never found this restaurant! I thought mine was delicious-others ordered prosuiccito ham/cheese, roasted veggies only, cheese alone...seemed to enjoy!

This place fitted the bill for a laid back family lunch. In the corner of the small piazza between…read morethe very old and old town you can enjoy both the bustle of activity and the lack of motorized traffic. Perfectly placed for a choice of sun or shade at lunchtime, we were their first customers of the day. Simple menu but full of classic Tuscan delights including of course pasta with wild boar ragu. We shared a Antipasti alle casa between five of us and everyone found something they loved (the various crostini are very popular). The flavour high point was my daughter's nettle risotto: taste explosion yet so subtle. Efficient, friendly service (with good english despite only Italian menu) and excellent value for money topped off a perfect lunch experience. The prescience of the guys who were fixing the road at a neighboring table merely confirmed that this is the place to go for simple, authentic fare.

Now they take credit card and have a fun menu for kids. Five stars!…read moreIt really is one of my very favorite restaurants! Did I mention that the burgers are the best? I would say the burgers have gotten even better now (not as rare). I never run into Americans in Perugia, except here...they must be doing something right!

And the pasta and pizza are spectacular here, but I never thought I would find such a great gastropub here. This restaurant would do really well in California. With amazing burgers with unique ingredients and high quality beef, plus great craft beers and a modern yet simple decor. I love The Italian Burger. My favorite burger is the Volare which you can get extra spicy, the fries are really good too, they also carry a big selection of paninnis, I tried one with prosciutto and avocado, and a vegetarian one with eggplant and mushrooms. You know I am a fan since I have eaten here twice in less than a week. Grazie!
