Ristorante L'Antico Forziere
Deruta, Perugia, 30-45€
27/07/2025: I just want to say to anyone considering this property: DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK!
Experiences so perfect, from start to finish, are rare. My boyfriend and I chose their "romantic getaway" package, and now that we've sadly returned home, we can say we've given ourselves a huge treat. The property is truly beautiful, well-designed, and meticulously maintained. I've attached photos of their lobby with its giant banana tree, a space with an incredible view of the surrounding hills. The rooms are delightful, spotlessly clean, and equipped with every comfort. We spent two full days relaxing by the pool, also taking advantage of the poolside lunch service. We ordered two focaccias, which were surprisingly delicious (at a ridiculous price, too—hats off). The package also included an hour and a half of exclusive spa time. Here too, we were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail: the space isn't huge, yet it's been truly thoughtfully designed. There's a large jacuzzi, a relaxation area, a hammam, a sauna, and showers with various settings. We also found an aperitif waiting for us, unexpected and very welcome. The real jewel in the crown, however, is the I Rodella restaurant: one of the best dinners of my life. The quality was top-notch in every detail: from the raw ingredients to the concept of the pairings, both traditional and innovative. Everything we tried was impeccable, so I recommend them all: the wagyu tartare and the veal fillet, both wonderful, meats that truly melt in your mouth, paired with flavors that complement them perfectly. The tagliolini with truffle was amazing. The desserts were equally wonderful and cleverly conceived. The sablé with caramelized figs took home the award for best dessert of recent years. Simple yet complex, an explosion of flavors and textures we'll never forget. The service, in keeping with the establishment's family-style hospitality, is courteous and attentive, ready to address any inconvenience with a smile—which, however, never happens because they're too good. The off-menu entrees and pre-dessert were very welcome, and their baked goods are also exceptional. Considering the price, this dinner was a gift. We can't wait to go back! "Highly recommended" is an understatement. We will recommend it to everyone, of course, and it will definitely be a regular stop for us. Congratulations, and thank you again for these 48 hours of pure relaxation and joy (especially for the palate!).
04/06/2025: Ci siamo fermati per pranzo per caso. Abbiamo mangiato meravigliosamente, sapori ottimi e ottima cucina. Il postoè davvero molto bello. Consigliatissimo.

06/10/2025: A very charming little place in Castiglione del Lago. Inside, you'll find a welcoming yet understated yet elegant atmosphere. The menu is varied and well-structured, and the food is truly delicious. The ingredients are top-quality; the charcuterie board, the various soups, and the main courses are highly recommended.

Coppetta Bruno Trattoria
Città della pieve, Perugia, 20-30€
21/10/2025: We really enjoyed our stay! The place is amazing, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The local wine was excellent, the host was lovely and available at any time, and the restaurant recommendations in the area were excellent.
18/10/2025: Family owned restaurant in the heart of Citta della Pieve, never disappoints kind, warm, professional and friendly service. In the colder months it's nice to be downstairs in front of the log fired oven. Great steaks perfectly cooked to your choice - red is best and not for the faint hearted. Solid selection if good Italian wines. What's not to love ❤️

Ristorante Vespasia
Norcia, Perugia, 30-45€
23/08/2025: My cousin and I had been meaning to visit this magnificent restaurant for a year, and despite various commitments and logistical issues, we finally managed to go on Monday, August 16, 2025. What can I say? The cuisine is top-notch and deserves its full star. Two menus, "TERRA mio cugini" and "Acqua Io," were both delicious, with contrasts that only expert chefs can prepare and present to their guests.
A wide selection of wines is available, although we opted for a very pleasant Birra Nursia Benedettina.
22/08/2025: Great food, nice concepts and amazing products. Location was nice and interiors were impressive. Service is good.

Castello di Petrata
Assisi, Perugia, 30-45€
21/10/2025: What a magical place. We were there for a wedding and the organization is just on point, professional yet somehow you almost feel like they are part of the family. All events were well orchestrated and the food was devine, something to please everyone.
The Castello is beautiful with vines growing all over the walls, flowers and trees of all sorts naturally groomed, many different spaces and activities including pool table tennis and a pool.
The only down side is the stink bugs, harmless but annoying but part of being in nature.
HIGHLY recommend ❣️
01/10/2025: We stayed here as part of a wedding party, choosing the “glamping” option for accommodation. The venue is truly amazing, the grounds are beautiful, and the amenities are great. The pool was fantastic, as was the small Finnish sauna, jacuzzi, and steam room attached to the wellness centre. Our only hiccup came with the bell tent we stayed in, which was poorly set up with frayed ropes that ended up breaking, and with staff not attending to fix the tent despite being asked, due to no doubt other busy tasks — unfortunately it meant we had puddles of water inside our tent when arriving back late from the celebrations, with the tent walls also drooping over the mattress in an unpleasant way. Guests shouldn’t be left to try to create improvised fixes in the middle of the night…

Umami
Terni, Terni, 45-60€
19/09/2025: Right portions, authentic flavors
12/09/2025: We tried several dishes, and I must say we were satisfied with all of them.
Especially the tagliatelle with hare ragù and white chocolate, and the gnocchi with beetroot, honey, lavender, and Taleggio cheese.
The pork ribs were incredibly tender, but in my opinion, they should have used a little less BBQ sauce (it overpowers the flavor too much).
