Yes, it was a table inside, but like I said...no reservations. If you want to dine with the Elite on the Piazza, I highly recommend making reservations, even the same day, they will likely accommodate. Okay...to the meal: Leonardo welcomed us into the dining room and gave us the specials of the day. My wife had the special pasta...Umbracelli with sausage and cream sauce with a ridiculous amount of whole black truffles shaved on top. I had the Bavette steak with roast potatoes and we spilt the Antipasta Tricolor...a delicious blend of fresh sautéd tomatoes and fresh basil pesto with the most magnificent pillow of burrata in the middle of this masterpiece!!! Everything was impeccable. Steak was cooked perfectly, pasta was elegant and delicious, the antipasto was next-level great! And did I mention how completely wonderful Leonardo was? All served in a beautiful space that was warm and inviting. This was one of the great meals we had in Perugia!! My only hope is that you give them a try! You'll be grateful that you did. We sure were!!!

A great place with the most delicious food that we have tried in Perugia…read more The food is Umbrian up to the smallest detail (vine, olive oil, water), but most important of all, it is really fresh, prepared with love and really delicious. The staff is very friendly, nice and helpful. The menu is obviously very often changed and includes a large "daily offer" section so you probably find often something new on the list. Unfortunately we had a little trouble finding some vegetarian alernative to secondi. The interiour needs a little refining - there is probably not much sense in having christmas lights and holly in beginning of March.. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed it very much and the food and service can be highly recommended.

Everything about this place was totally authentic, full of Umbrian flavors and super good service. Its one of our friends favorite places and I can see why. As it was a few weeks ago now, I cant remember everything we had, but I had the polenta with truffle and the duck tortellini. We had local wine which was lovely and a digestive after dinner.. Overall, a fantastic evening had by all..

I had such a wonderful time here that I'm planning on going back to Perugia sometime in the near future!

Sign posted outside says they're open until 15:30. He could have at least shared sorry, that's not possible as we're a restaurant. It's possible you'll receive service if you're white (I'm not). I visited years ago and was warmly welcomed and had an early afternoon coffee on the terrace, unsure if the manager was having a bad day or if it's the rise in hostility towards non-white people. Either way, I'd avoid.

Sam had a great veloute soup with chickory on the side, and I enjoyed my grilled slice of cheese as well as delicious roasted lamb chops. Nafisa's tagliatteli with truffles was a special treat, and Nancy's ravioli stuffed with cheese and turnip greens was especially good. Soraya enjoyed her rigatoni carbonara; I had a taste as the end and could confirm its quality. I did not try Abey's gnocchi with four cheeses but he and Soraya have demanded that their parents pick up gnocchi to bring home to Zanzibar -- they have added a new dish to their favorites. Panna cotta for dessert was a nice finish It was a bit of a bummer to be charged extra for two small pours of olive oil to eat with our bread. But that is my only criticism of the meal
