For many, the cuisine in Umbria is the best in Italy. From its famous black truffles, to its legendary olive oil, food does not get much better than in Umbria.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Born from \u2018cucina povera\u2019 \u2013 poor peasant cooking \u2013 chefs in Umbria always rely on fresh seasonal ingredients cooked simply yet to a very high standard. Naturally, with such a huge and serious devotion to cooking in Umbria, the region is littered with top-quality restaurants, all serving delicious Umbrian cuisine.<\/p>\n

We take a look at three top restaurants in Umbria\u2026<\/p>\n

Osteria dell\u2019Enoteca, Spoleto<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a curved iron staircase, dark wooden benches lay under a high stone ceiling surrounded by row upon row of bottles of local wine, this 12th<\/sup>-century tavern certainly looks the part, but does its cuisine live up to its fa\u00e7ade?<\/p>\n

In a word, yes. With the food – all of which is typical of the area, such as truffle omelettes and \u2018shoelace\u2019 pasta \u2013 wine, the service, ambience and prices being described as \u2018terrific\u2019, a trip to Osteria dell\u2019Enoteca in the town of Spoleto has to be on your culinary agenda during your stay in Umbria.<\/p>\n

II Gufo, Perugia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated in the heart of the city of Perugia, this top quality restaurant never fails to be at the hub of the region\u2019s vibrant restaurant scene. The owner always buys the ingredients from the local markets so that the dishes are always brimming with freshness and flavour. From cinghiale\u2019 (wild boar), to \u2018riso negro\u2019 (black rice), the comprehensive menu at the II Gufo caters for a range of tastes. Prices are more than acceptable and so is the service, making II Gufo a firm favourite amongst the diners of Perugia.<\/p>\n

Trattoria II Cortile, Macerata<\/strong><\/p>\n

A visit to the Umbrian town of Macerata would not be complete without dropping in at Trattoria II Cortile and experience home cooking like you have never experienced it before. All dishes are lovingly prepared by the restaurant\u2019s boisterous yet friendly family and are followed by a delicious selection of homemade cakes \u2013 You will never walk out of Trattoria II Cortile not feeling full!<\/p>\n

One of the top villas would have to be Villa Magnolia (pictured), a 4 bedroom villa in Lake Trasimeno<\/a>, which would be a fine base for taking full advantage of Umbria’s top restaurants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
