L'Acciuga

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 various local ingredients, including a few fish-based recipes. The menu is minimalist in the extreme, simply listing the ingredients that make up a dish, even omitting articles and prepositions! Dishes such as CALAMARO, PISELLI (squid and peas) are written in capital letters, with no further description. The impressive wine selection has a special focus on natural and biodynamic labels.
