Best EVER pasta with black truffles!
Enter an eye catching…read moredinning area underneath a lightly washed stone arch support with warm red color decor and no kitschy nicknacks , and wsite a well dressed. A quite ambiance of refinement
We ordered the pre-fix meal and they allowed us to substitute an item. With a glass of prosecco our appetizer was yellow carrot soup with a cauliflower -garlic bruschetta ; very tasty and unique. Next, a mushroom flan in a Parmesan pressed bowl. Paired well with the Multefalco wine.
Then came the pasta. Prepared table side it was mixed with salted butter the shaved truffles were added. Not only superb taste but not heavy as I expected. And this too paired well with the regional wine!
The meat dish followed. I had the veal with a balsamic demi glaze and my wife had the pork( a bit dry). Veal was tasty and tender. Next, dessert was a vanilla ice cream crepe covered in a tri-berry sauce. This was above average
As to the wine, this is my first trip to Umbria where I finally tasted a superb regional wine; Multefalco. Two versions exist. The Rosso ,which is a blend , is a light bodied , fruit-forward wine. The other is a bit more expensive, called the Sagratino. This big, bold, tannin-rich wine easily unwinds in less then an hour into a well balanced, fruit-structured intricate wine. This is an undervalued wine. The most expensive we had in any restaurant was 45 euros for a bottle. Take advantage of it!
I gave this place my highest rating for Gubbio because of its ambiance, service, wine knowledge and preparation, price but most of all the PASTA
