Il Giardino

The name is a program. And this charming place is just 5 steps from our flat in Perugia. It is a Restaurant garden with stunnig views on the walls of part of the city center. What we did not realize at the first visit; They cook also very well and it is worthwhil to eat…

Se Serena aumentasse i prezzi un pò?

“Il Conte” è anche Buonrespiro e probabilmente ci sarei molto più spesso, se non ci fosse sempre la folla. Si mangia bene da Serena e si paga poco. Il Conte non appartiene alla categoria “fine dining”, Ciònonostante ho mangiato dal Conte uno dei carpacci migliori. E mia figlia Matilde, lei stessa una gran cuoca, sostiene…

Il Frantoio

We wanted to make a trip out of Buonrespiro. An incentive to have dinner outside was a block of the draining pipes to be repaired only the next day. So we decided to go to Lubriano a charming village just on the other side of the Umbria/Lazio border. On the way we visited Casa Vespina…

Ristorante Brizi

I am passing by this place several times per week as it is on the way home from the place where I normally park the car. I became curious from the first time I read the menu: “primi” for 7 Euros and “secondi” for 8-10 Euros. What the hell is this? Nearly half the price…

Main reason for this is the unbeatable…

La Panatella, Allerona

I think the main problem I have in giving a just evaluation of this Restaurant, was that I had to drive there. With my driving skills Allerona is 1 hour away from Buonrespiro and a one hours drive in the night, probably would darken also my brightest dining experience. The place gets enthusiastic evaluations on…

Prosciutteria

Prejudices towards chains? Boring food, standardized dishes, quantity instead of quality production? The prosciutteria in Perugia is part of a chain with 12 outlets between Milan and Perugia. We have been now here for 3 times and it’s a kind of enough for some month, but the overall judgment is positive! For us the strong…

I birbi

I went there some years ago. And I violated my principle not to write about a Restaurant after the first visit. My review was not good and luckily it has disappeared from the web. Yesterday night Nixy and I went there again and it was a positive surprise. It started well by avoiding to order…
