One Star: High quality cooking
Situated in the historic centre of Noto which is slowly returning to life after the earthquake, this restaurant is part of the smart Palazzo Seneca hotel. You pass through a succession of small rooms to get to the elegant Sala del Vespasia, where a female Japanese chef now showcases the best of Umbrian gastronomic delights after many years working in Campania and renowned restaurants elsewhere in Italy. Olive oil, cured hams, lentils, Cannara onions, crayfish and river fish, lamb from the Sibillini mountains and, of course, the excellent local black truffle are used in her creative and occasional complex dishes. Our description would not be complete without mentioning the excellent service and warm, friendly welcome offered by the Bianconi, a long-established family in Norcia’s hotel and restaurant sector.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"Vespasia goes to great lengths to implement sustainable practices. The restaurant’s ingredients are sourced from carefully selected local producers, as well as from its own farm which grows lentils, chickpeas, cicerchia beans, wheat and spelt (used for flour and bread products). It also has its own natural truffle fields, three solar panel farms in different locations around Norcia, and a laundry that works via reverse osmosis to re-use water."
