And the dessert. Mmm. Just go get you some traditional Umbrian food and service.

They started us off with a complimentary Prosecco and a little portion of bean soup. So welcoming! My partner ordered the Ravioli with fresh shaved truffles and I tried their potato gnocchi with fabulous cherry tomatoes. It may be my favorite meal in four weeks of traveling around Italy. Claudio, the chef came by and we talked about the restaurant business and he even recommended a Mexican restaurant in Palm Desert which we will try. Finished with a special concoction of cocoa powder milk and two other ingredients that made for a nice digestivo. You can sit outside if you prefer

We did. And she was right! We went back twice and I ordered the Carbonara twice. It was the highlight of our trip! In addition to the food making us happy, the restaurant made us happy. It is on a nondescript street, down a few steps into a delightful small and cozy cave-room. You really need a reservation to be guaranteed a table. Peeking out from the small kitchen window is the cook/wife/owner and greeting us and taking our order was the husband/owner. They are a team that really cares about the service and doing simple Italian food right! And the house wine was really good!

I'm Italian living in the US and when I go back to my country I can't stand the touristy places…read more That's why while in Perugia I asked a friend and he said in the city center it's hard to find a good restaurant. Good meaning with local produce finely cooked and warm service. You can't go to Italy and not demand that. Well, this "Locanda" fits the description. As an aside, remember this: a hotel is a place where you go sleep that may have something to eat. A Locanda is a place where you go eat that does have somewhere to sleep. I didn't try one of their five rooms but the restaurant was outstanding. Silvia is a fine scout of unique local produce, carefully picking meats (coniglio in porchetta) and fish (the anguilla from the Lake Trasimeno nearby is a must)... Her husband is a fine sommelier and maintains a carte of the best local and organic wines (note that those three adjectives seldom go hand in hand). They do things with their heart here and it's good for your soul and palate. Excellent place.

Our waiter spoke zero English and we spoke zero Italian so it felt like a real welcome to the country. Because I could barely understand what the menu said I just picked a random pizza and hoped for the best. The best is exactly what I got. Certainly what us Americans are use to and I was very confused by the lack of time in the oven but this was by far the best pizza I had. It tasted so so fresh, the crust was light, the olive oil was stupendous, the cheese and meat incredible. I couldn't find a pizza anywhere else like in in my travels and I will be going back to Perugia just to stop by here again.
