I had the umbricelli with both goose sauce and Norcina sauce. Both were excellent and the portions generous. The atmosphere was rustic but pleasant and welcoming, and the service was also good, thanks to the friendly and helpful waiters.

A journey through Umbrian flavors – Al Mangiar Bene, Perugia.
In the heart of Perugia's historic center, "Al Mangiar Bene" is a gem that celebrates traditional cuisine with passion and authenticity. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, rustic atmosphere, with stone walls, exposed beams, and a warm welcome that instantly makes you feel at home.
Authentic cuisine and excellent ingredients
The menu is a tribute to the Umbrian region: artisanal cured meats, local cheeses, homemade pasta, and select meats. Each dish is prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, often sourced from small local producers.
The tagliolini with wild boar, tripe, and rustic flan were a true delight, as were the bread and focaccia baked in a wood-fired oven.
Extensive and well-curated wine cellar:
The wine selection is extensive and thoughtfully curated, with local labels that perfectly complement the flavors of the cuisine. The staff is always available to recommend the perfect pairing, with expertise and passion.
Impeccable service and a relaxed atmosphere, from both the host and the two waiters, who are competent, helpful, and kind to everyone, friendly, attentive, and never intrusive.
The service is quick yet meticulous, and every detail contributes to making the experience pleasant and memorable. The setting is ideal for both a romantic dinner and a lunch with friends.
"Al Mangiar Bene" is much more than a restaurant: it's a place where tradition meets quality, and where every dish tells a story. If you're in Perugia, it's a must-see for anyone who truly loves to eat well.

Very good experience, the welcome is perfect and the owner speaks French. The vaulted room is magnificent. The food is homemade. A place to recommend.

I dined there twice in the same week during my stay in the city: the first time accompanied by a friend from Perugia, the second time on my own initiative, as I had such a wonderful experience the previous time.
The staff were very welcoming and polite, always available to offer advice or clarification on dishes and drinks, as well as on how to pair dishes for a table of diverse dietary needs, ensuring everyone was satisfied with excellent food. The quality of the food is very high, the portions are generous, and the price is very fair. The atmosphere is a bit noisy, but it reflects the spirit of the city. I fell in love with it and recommend this place to everyone.
I particularly appreciated the decision to avoid sourcing from multinationals, opting instead to support the local economy, small producers, and fair trade products, as well as the current campaign to support the Palestinian population by donating part of the proceeds from certain dishes to NGOs working in the Middle East.

Excellent food and fast, friendly service. The charcuterie, cheese, and meat platters are a must-try! It's practically downtown, so easy to get to. It was recommended to us by the staff at the hotel where we were staying, and we were all very pleased!

An excellent option for a family lunch in Perugia. Excellent value, with a varied menu featuring both traditional dishes and more generic options to please everyone. Excellent wines. The staff is friendly, fast, and happy to chat between courses. I highly recommend it!

Una location che si fa apprezzare per aver conservato i locali con volte a mattoni tipici medioevali e altrettanto per la tradizione culinaria. Unico neo ma forse meglio così, non vi è ricezione quindi si dialoga sorseggiando un buon vino, locale !
