Yes, there is no hurry -- but that's true anywhere in Italy, especially in the picturesque town of CdP. And the specials are great -- I ate the farrow salad whenever it was available, and kids devoured the special fries like they were going out of town. A simple spaghetti cooked specially by the owners for us using pomodoro sauce and some "Indian spices" they borrowed from us, is the best spaghetti I have ever eaten.... And late night sitting under the cozy awning, sipping wine while shameless hogging the wifi / watching the Olympics, will be one of my abiding memories of one of the most pleasant vacations I've had...

We needed to eat dinner near the train station with a little over an hour wait for our train…read more(earlier train had sold out). This restaurant was about 5 min walk from the station. Weather was cold so we asked to be seated inside, though others who came later sat out on their patio. I ordered their kebab con pane arabo, because in the US, Arabic bread is what I prefer. It was ok, but I've had better. The kebab meat inside was not what I expected. Seemed like chopped chicken, not gyro meat. In fact after eating half, it just didn't taste right. Husband ordered grigliata mista di carne (mixed grilled meat) -- got what looked like steak, lamb and chicken. He also ordered baked potatoes, but the server came back after a while to say they had run out, so he asked for salad instead. I think they forgot about it because it still had not come when we both were almost finished our meals. We first asked the younger male server, and after still not getting it we asked the lady who seemed to be manager or owner. Finally got it and it was decent. Throughout our meal their inside and outside filled. Many people came to pickup orders of pizza, so they must be known for that. No pictures of our orders because after a long day we were too tired & hungry to take pictures by the time food came.

A quite ambiance of refinement We ordered the pre-fix meal and they allowed us to substitute an item. With a glass of prosecco our appetizer was yellow carrot soup with a cauliflower -garlic bruschetta ; very tasty and unique. Next, a mushroom flan in a Parmesan pressed bowl. Paired well with the Multefalco wine. Then came the pasta. Prepared table side it was mixed with salted butter the shaved truffles were added. Not only superb taste but not heavy as I expected. And this too paired well with the regional wine! The meat dish followed. I had the veal with a balsamic demi glaze and my wife had the pork( a bit dry). Veal was tasty and tender. Next, dessert was a vanilla ice cream crepe covered in a tri-berry sauce. This was above average As to the wine, this is my first trip to Umbria where I finally tasted a superb regional wine; Multefalco. Two versions exist. The Rosso ,which is a blend , is a light bodied , fruit-forward wine. The other is a bit more expensive, called the Sagratino. This big, bold, tannin-rich wine easily unwinds in less then an hour into a well balanced, fruit-structured intricate wine. This is an undervalued wine. The most expensive we had in any restaurant was 45 euros for a bottle. Take advantage of it! I gave this place my highest rating for Gubbio because of its ambiance, service, wine knowledge and preparation, price but most of all the PASTA

We stopped here for a quick lunch with our friends who have vacation residence in Amelia. For a Sunday, it was quiet but there was a larger family group with young children as well as a table with 2 older couples. We were seated in the old 'cuccina' which has a large open fireplace so the room was nicely warmed (considering the much colder weather outside. There is still the old stone ovens and prep area including the original water well (grate over the top but I could not see to the very bottom - very deep! We ordered relatively quickly as we were in a timeframe to leave for Firenze. 3 of us had pasta and 1 the steak, which was served with roasted garlic and rosemary potatoes as well as a local spinach.. All meals were quite well presented, very tasty and enjoyed by all of us. We had the last bottle of local wine which was very nice. An espresso before we left and then it was time to hit the road. This place would be absolutely beautiful in the summer, as the views from the al fresco area outside look directly over the valley below. The elevation of Amelia is high and so offers a great vantage point with stunning views. If you are in the area or even just visiting, it's a great little place to try out..

Bruschetta is also simply and flavorfully prepared. And we have never met a chickpea we didn't like and these ones were sock-knockers! Everything is non-fussy, straightforward, honest in preparation--letting the ingredients shine through! Also, do the house wine thing-- you pay by the glass and it's tasty!
