Ristorante Pantagruel

Reviewed By 93KenL

We were staying at the hotel so ate here a couple times. If you’re coming from other Italian cities where you’ve been walking and roaming around, don’t expect that if you’re staying at the hotel that houses this restaurant. You’ll probably be eating at the hotel restaurant ‘cause there’s not much else around. We had a couple dinners here. We weren’t crazy about the food here. It was OK but certainly not great. The service was fine but the food seemed off compared to other fine restaurants we enjoyed in Italy. The meats were tough and overcooked. Don’t get me wrong. The food wasn’t awful but was disappointing given all the glowing reviews. The hotel and its staff are wonderful and welcoming. My hotel comments are in a other review. FYI, There is a small, fun local place around the corner from the hotel driveway called Why Not Cafe. It’s an option.Dear guest, thanks for sharing your experience. San Martino in Campo is a little town near Perugia, only 5 minutes and there are all the services: banks, post office, one pizza restaurant, a supermarket, two bar and clothes stores. While, if you find some special and differents local you have to go to Perugia by bus or by car. We are happy you like our restaurant and even if you haven’t find the good so awful, we hope to see you again for antother special tasting. See you, Best regards.F.F

The restaurant is sort of semi detached to the hotel. It is in the old cellars/stables and reached by a 20 metre walk from the main buildingI was left with the impression that the hotel is abandoning its restaurant. The photo above on this page shows tables with table cloths - you no longer get a table cloth. There are very fancy plates that restaurants use when trying for Michelin stars, but the food no longer is in that leagueHowever it is moderately priced, which helps if you are staying in the hotel, and finding another restaurant in the area is not possible.The service is a bit lackadaisical, and the waiters don't really seem to have their hearts in their job. It is all a bit odd , as the hotel is done to a high standard, and is aiming at the top of the market.

Il Caldaro

"Il Caldaro" is a charming restaurant. The chefs create original, as well as centuries old local Umbrian recipes, using the finest fresh ingredients. This also includes handmade pizza cooked in wood pizza oven.

Reviewed By Seaside775555

We having been coming to Caldaro for many years, both at Antognolla and more recently La Bruna and have always enjoyed the food and fantastic service. However, over the last six to eight months the restaurant has lost its mojo, changing its menu and the chef. The portion sizes were reduced and the food disappointing and overpriced. In addition, without Anca, the excellent front of house, service was at times chaotic.So, we were thrilled when we went for lunch recently to see that things seem to be back on track. The menu is seasonal with lovely local ingredients and the high high standard of cooking has returned. With Anca back overseeing the smooth running of the restaurant and staff, we had a delicious lunch and fantastic friendly service.

Reviewed By Zia_Angelina

This small restaurant is not particularly inviting, set on the main road from Ponte Pattoli to the motorway and not much has been done to make it confortable inside or in the drafty conservatory.Food also is just OK as the tagliere of ham and cheese is just decent with no special quality slices and the main course (fish with olives) was a complete shamble (too salty and served as a soup).Sixty euros for this was certainly too much and only cash was accepted.buon giorno zia angelina, siamo onorati di averVi avuto come nostri ospiti, ci rincresce se non abbiamo soddisfatto a pieno le vostre esigenze e cercheremo di migliorarci nel tempo al fine di poterla soddisfare al meglio nella cucina e nella sala, vorremmo tuttavia specificare che la selezione di salumi e formaggi che dice di aver scelto sono selezioni di salumi di mastri salumieri di norcia ( localita' riconosciuta in tutta Italia per la qualita' della produzione norcina ) mentre i formaggi sardi sono di prima qualità, ci rincresce se nell'occasione non avete potuto pagare con carta o bancomat, strumenti di cui disponiamo e che sono sempre disponibili presso la nostra struttura ma che nell' occasione per problemi di linea non a noi imputabili ( lavori alla via telefonica ) non funzionavo con costanza. per quanto concerne il prezzo di euro 60,00 che dice di aver pagato certamente non puo' essere la risultanza delle due pietanze che dice di aver scelto ( nel caso specifico avrebbe speso euro 24,00 ) ma bensi di almeno 5 o sei portate, considerando pure che nel nostro locale vengono offerti aperitivo di benvenuto e ben due appetizer.

Reviewed By StephenR285

After pouring through the Trip Adviser reviews we found Morlacchi which was located relatively close to where we were staying. Walking up to the front door the street was empty and felt lonely. This feeling soon disappeared when we entered the Locanda and were directed to the terrace on the floor below. We had booked and were shown to our table beside the balcony wall and the view was superb. Dark had set in and the view of the buildings and lights through the trees was breath taking. Service was excellent and we were soon drinking our complimentary prosecco and tasting the complimentary black rice, speck and orange zest morsel. Then it was on to first course - carbonara with truffles for me and risotto al lime for my partner. Both were amazing. Then I had the lamb with vegetables while my partner had the filet of pork with prunes and roast potatoe. By the time we had finished these two courses plus an excellent bottle of Barberra D’Alba from up north we had no room for dessert but we watched some wonderful concoctions delivered to other tables. All in all a great night out.

Quintessentially Italian family restaurant in a small, pretty, village nr Corciano. The antipasti and prosecco were delicious and fairly priced. TDS operates on a small scale (7-8 tables) to high standards. The waitress was exceptionally nice. Strongly recommend.

Restaurant recently moved from Panicarola to Perugia, only about a 10-15 minutes difference.This is the old TA listing.......https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g194721-d2626886-Reviews-DivinPeccato-Castiglione_del_Lago_Province_of_Perugia_Umbria.htmlThe new location is absolutely exquisite. Mirko is a great host and has done a marvelous job in the new setting, which can handle weddings and other events. Outdoor seating is large and comfortable with a country club feel. You sit poolside by candlelight (beware of bugs!) and have plenty off space and privacy. We visited on a July 2017 Saturday and he was packed. Couples and large groups enjoying the setting and food. Staff was friendly as always. The inside looked nice and perhaps during our winter return we will need to dine indoors. Do not be deceived by the confusing TA rating which stems from them moving....This is by far a top 5 restaurant in the Lago Trasimeno area and honestly, I would recommend and compare this to any other nearby eatery.

Reviewed By milandeleev

TL;DR - absolutely amazing food (both well-presented and superbly tasty), and service to match. The owners of the restaurant dropped us off to our hotel which was 7 miles away!Full review - My girlfriend and I walked to this restaurant from the airport: a precarious and poorly-planned journey. However, it was worth it for this institution. The owner greeted us at the door, took our coats and bags, and sat us at a table surrounded by gorgeous art. We enjoyed a selection of olive oils served with bread como antipasti: the owner and waiter came with six bottles of olive oil from all over Italy, ranked them from lightest to strongest and explained their origin. We sampled each with bread. The last bottle was especially stunning as it was handmade from their house in Sicily, with a refreshing taste that I did not know was possible to infuse into oil. For mains, I tucked into a sumptuous monkfish dish, whilst my girlfriend enjoyed a gingery fish soup, both of which were beautiful. My dish was served with an alcoholic pumpkin-like sauce, broccoli pieces, mozzarella slices, watercress, bacon cooked to perfection and dried currants - flavours that I would never have dreamed of combining, but worked so well that I have decided to try and duplicate them at home. The winelist was complex and rich, and too daunting for me, so I asked the owner to choose us a nice, deep red. His selection was predictably excellent. Finally, we asked the owner for the best way to reach the city centre. He conducted some research, informed us of train and taxi options, but then came to the decision to drive us and our luggage to the hotel. I was simply awestruck by such kindness. This is the best dining experience I have ever had outside of my own country. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The menu changes monthly.
