Osteria Pappabona In Perugia

All good things come in threes. The experience was an absolute must. The atmosphere was youthful and enterprising. The dishes were simple, but logical in an area full of restaurants where it doesn't take much to be labeled "touristy." Well, the adjective isn't relevant in this case. The flavors are truly Umbrian, especially when you start with the Tagliere. The point is that a mix of cured meats is best, without confusing them with prosciutto crudo: I'm a fan of noble cured meats, and I appreciate them aged 24 months and up; if it's too young, no, I'll give up. We tried two first courses: the classic tagliatella with black truffle, which I would have thought was juicier, and the tortellini with parmesan cream. They were good, but some doubts remain about the artisanal quality of the pasta. The ambiance is truly charming, worthy of attention, and if I happen to glance into the little living room where I find a record player and see a vinyl cover lying on top, I'm blown away. As you wander around, you'll find vintage touches, so many cute little things, right down to the Moka pots with sugar holders: wow! You know what I say? See if the customers want a moka pot coffee; it would be a special service, obviously at a "special" price, but whatever...it could be an added bonus; I don't think I've ever found any taverns that do it around here.

A lovely atmosphere and excellent food. A pleasant place that perfectly reflects the spirit of Perugia, with a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The staff is helpful and friendly. The cuisine is in keeping with the local area, with simple, well-executed dishes. Overall, it's a good choice for those seeking a genuine and relaxed experience.

Pappabona by name and by nature. Traditional Umbrian cuisine of the highest quality in a charming setting, with a spectacular ceiling. Impeccable service. Reasonable prices.

The food was average, average. The tiramisu was very good. The atmosphere, however, was cold and there were a lot of drafts that ruined the overall experience.

Well worth a visit. Beautiful venue in the heart of Perugia. The pasta was insanely good. And the service was nice.

A very nice place aesthetically. The pretentious cuisine reflects on the quality of the finished product. The fried egg was so-so, the giardiniera was never cut that way, and it tasted only of vinegar, inedible. The wine, oil, bread, and cured meats were excellent. The vegetarian options could use more work. The staff was courteous, but quite distracted. For two, €105, but the bill was never handed over. I wouldn't go back.

Polite staff, spectacular atmosphere…excellent.

A very cute place in the historic center of Perugia. Between one little shop and another, you find yourself in a very refined atmosphere, from the furnishings to the details. The food is really good...in short, you feel good here! Highly recommended!

Excellent Osteria in the center of Perugia. And as you can see in the photo, we only left the plate 😀👍 We ate very well. Compliments to the staff.

Excellent cuisine, a charming location of a historic residence, and friendly and helpful staff.
