L'Acciuga

As is fashionable nowadays, the menu here simply lists the ingredients that make up a dish, even omitting articles and prepositions! Regional influences are evident in the “uovo, pecorino e tartufo” starter (egg, pecorino cheese and truffle), which features an egg yolk cooked at 65°C on a bed of porcini mushrooms and soft pecorino foam, with grated black uncinato truffle on top – an excellent balance of fatty, bitter and spicy flavours. We won’t describe the rest of the dishes, so that you have an excuse to come and savour them for yourself! You would never guess that there was a gourmet restaurant tucked away in this commercial district on the outskirts of Perugia, but everything changes once you’re inside the bright, original dining room with its open-view kitchen. Here, dishes combine international influences from the chef’s time spent outside Italy with various local ingredients, as well as fish. Good wine selection, with a focus on natural and biodynamic labels.
