• 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…

  • The ginger and the Wasabi were ok

    Normally, I said, I am not writing about a Restaurant, before I went there twice. I have to break this principle as I will never go again to this place I am writing about. We were not planning to eat in a Restaurant. We were coming from UWine and we were directed to duck soup…

  • Next Tasting event October 6!

  • \”Tasting of Metodo Ancestrale\”

    A small but enthusiastic crowd participated in the tasting (https://thebuonrespiro.com/september-3-10-wine-tasting-at-the-buonrespiro/) Newcomers to these type of sparkling wine were surprised about the quality and the richness of flavours. A special mention to the bottle from the winery \”terazze di spazzavento\” which was presented by the Producers. The big difference in expression of flavours among alle the…

  • L’officina – fine dining for the people

    My favorite Restaurant in Perugia at the moment. All fits together. Attentive and gentle hosts. An elegant, but not oppressive environment, and obviouisly the food, which is miles away from Umbrian home cooking. I have been there 4 times now and I am planning to become an abitue’. Main reason for this is the unbeatable…

  • September 3 + 10, wine tasting at the Buonrespiro

    We invite for 2 wine tastings. At September 3 we will present 7 sparkling wines made with the \”metodo ancestrale\”. The bubbles are produced byrefermentation in the bottle, but without \”sboccatura\” as in the Champagner process Most of the bottles come from producers with a natural wine producing method. we will serve these wines with…

  • 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…

  • Italian whites can age

    Italians don’t believe in the aging potential of their white wines. but they really should. I have rested again and again, and I confirm that a high percentage of italian wines can age really well. Years ago, I imported an entry level orvieto classico to China (Soana, COOP Monrubio). and there was one bottle forgotten…

Thats’s me, Nixy! Deep in my soul, I am a sociophobe.
