Caffe del Borgo In Perugia

05/04/2026: I remembered it more positively, so much so that in the past it had received a 5/5 from me. Family lunch with an à la carte menu limited in the choice between meat and seafood menus with the possibility of ordering any dish freely. As they say: When you want to put too much meat on the fire, often some of it burns and some of it doesn't cook. 9 diners for lunch on Easter day. I ordered a mixed fish appetizer consisting of a phantom shrimp cocktail (made up of two slightly tired shrimp, a half handful of cuttlefish salad and half a handful of octopus with potatoes) and a sliced ​​beef with stewed artichokes. A sliced ​​beef that, honestly, was only such because it was cut into "strips" on the plate! Now, I don't want to be presumptuous, but paying 20 euros for about 200 grams of meat that in no way belonged to sirloin, nor to slices of rump or nut, nor to a tip of lacchetto (and those in the trade know what I'm talking about), but a very vulgar slice of fillet or boneless shoulder, full of sinewy parts and also sectioned with fibers in the opposite direction that it was difficult to chew. When I asked for an explanation, I was explicitly told that it was sirloin!! A premise that I didn't make: I have been working in the food sector related to meat for 20 years. Not to mention the service...constant errors and even coffees brought before the desserts arrived. It's a real shame because I had left good reviews on past occasions.

01/04/2026: Well-kept atmosphere, professional service, excellent food quality. I'll be back.
