02/02/2025: Wonderful place. I had just discovered Grechetto, the white wine of the area, the day before yesterday. My opening glass here was superb. I had with their amuse bouche… a small plate of beans! But they were delicious. I then had a half portion of pasta, cappellacci, sloppy “hats” holding mozzarella di bufala, covered in a sauce of tomatoes ricotta and cow-milk mozzarella, fine. Then a half portion of risotto with saffron and Gorgonzola, which I’ve always known as an aggressive cheese, but not within the sauce which was nicely creamy.
I ordered a dessert, zabaglione, but I also a sweet wine to go with it. They sold a delicious Tanic, but then they gave the dry almond biscuits you dip into vin santo (which I’ve never liked much). They were wonderful here. Then they offered Perugia chocolates. Well, this was enough sweet ending, so that I switched from zabaglione to fruit salad, “macedonia” (which gets its fine name in Italian from the King of Macedon, Alexander the Great, who conquered everything in sight and ruled a mixed and varied empire inspiring fruit salad). Great restaurant, highly recommended.

the "Altromondo" restaurant is located in the historic center of Perugia.
The structure is beautiful, the quality of the food unquestionable and the staff very professional and courteous.
I hope everyone goes there.
Greetings.
