WOW! Bibenda in Assisi is incredible. We had an amazing experience with Nila doing a wine tasting…read more Nila is very generous with her tasting pours and is so thorough with details about each wine. We had our favorite wines with Nila! Nila was also so kind to our 3 teenagers and made sure we all had plenty of cheeses and meats to taste. We keep talking 2 weeks later about the goose meat (delicious!) If you want to meet an incredible Wine Master -- You must stop by Bibenda and spend some time with Nila. Inside The tasting room/wine shop is cozy and there is also outdoor seating. It is an unforgettable Italian experience.

We'd already bought more wine than we should have been carrying but that didn't stop the owner from talking to us about all the local wines. He didn't try and sell us anything but went out of his way to suggest that we visit a small local winery, Podere Fontesecca, near where we were staying. I love Spello so next time I will be sure to stop for wine and snacks.

The decor is elegant, service an A+.... the food is heaven! We had the pork filet with potatoes... it was like butter and almost melted in your mouth. Very tasty. I had the gnocchi with a Sagratino red wine sauce that was delicious. I liked the small size gnocchi, a nice meal portion and balance of sauce. We had wine by the glass and frizzante water. They brought an appetizer for us to try before our meal that was a mix of creamy ricotta cheese, a stripe of sauce and crunchy topping that made the perfect blend. The entire visit was so enjoyable we will be coming back again and again Seating indoors or outside on the patio The owner came by our table and told us his wife is the chef. What a wonder Restaurante they have. Grazie Mille Re Tartu

I've visited…read moreMontefalco for the past two summers and have eaten here three times and every dining experience has been a 5 star one. The last time I visted they had finished their outdoor patio dining area, which is a must for eating dinner and watching the sunset. When we had called ahead to make a reservation, we mentioned that I have celiacs and were curious about what the gluten free options were and by the time we arrived for dinner, the owner's wife had made homemade gluten free pasta special for me! Completely blown away. As usual, the food was incredible, as were the truffles. Musts from Re Tartu are fondue with truffles and the scrambled eggs with truffles... I crave both dishes all the way from Seattle.

This is my favorite wine bar in the world. In. The. World. It has been for five years, ever since…read moreI first found it while living in Perugia. To understand why its so special, you have to be kind of into wine and also a little adventurous. It's not for everyone. The place is run by a wonderful Italian couple who only speak Italian. Service is casual; it's normal for them to be sitting with other customers and talking. If you need something, you might have to ask. But here's why you should love it. One, they REALLY REALLY know Italian wine-- not just wine from the region (which is standard), but from all over. If you tell them what kind of experience you want, they will find the wine for you. Second, they have a lot of special small-production stuff. Third, they prepare a delicious tapas spread and its next to free (like 2 euros or something) with your wine. Finally, they'll open any bottle in the house as long as you're willing to get two glasses: that makes it the biggest, best by-the-glass wine list anywhere! We had five rounds in our last visit-- a Montefalco Rosso, an Aglianico, an Etna Rosso, an Valpolicella Riserva, and something else I don't remember. We loved everything, and it came to about €20 a person. You just couldn't do that in the U.S.. Anyway, it's our little secret but I hope others get to enjoy our favorite place too.

With seating inside the lovely dining room or a small collection of tables overlooking one of Perugia's artistic neighborhood alleyways. Staff is kind and patient, wine list is well curated with delicious offerings at a variety of price points (the house wine was delicious and inexpensive). The whole dining experience was a delight...the perfect place for a lively meal with friends or an intimate night with someone you love. They get busy, so reservations are suggested. But if there's a wait, they're happy to bring you a glass of wine while you make new friends out in the alley. All-in-all, one of Perugia's best intimate restaurants!!
