Ristorante La Taverna
La Taverna
A long-standing restaurant in Perugia, tucked down the steps off Corso Vannucci, serving handmade pasta and lamb chops under brick vaults.
Located in a small courtyard at Via delle Streghe 8, down the steps from Corso Vannucci near Piazza della Repubblica. Chef Claudio Brugalossi's extensive menu features both Umbrian meat dishes and seafood, with bread, pasta, and desserts all made in-house. Frequently mentioned dishes include pappardelle with meat ragù, red cheese-filled ravioli, and herb-roasted lamb chops. The interior features brick vaults, and outdoor seating is available in the courtyard when the weather is nice. There are plenty of vegetarian options. Some reviews note that the proportion of strictly local dishes is not very high. Dinner reservations are recommended.
