A very welcoming place and a very high level proposal. in the dishes you feel the research and quality of the raw material. personal top. of course the quality you pay. Good.

Nice place, great service and also food, I absolutely recommend to try it.

.while I went looking for a cozy and pampered place for our holidays in Umbria, here I stumbled in the captain's inn without hesitation I thought to stop here a beautiful elsewhere where happiness begins with a sin of throat. thanks to the chef giancarlo polito and all the staff of the captain's inn for having enriched our sensory memory. to rare things. to lie down and blush.

After years and years of attendance of restaurants of all kinds: starred, gourmet, trattorias and everything else, I wonder: what is that, in the perception of a self-taught but passionate profane as who writes, makes a lunch or dinner a perfect opportunity? What is, how does the miracle of absolute satisfaction consist when a consumer, more or less aware and equipped, is addressed to a dispenser of something that is not and can not be just food and/or service, but multisensory experience, discovery, surprise? He had, over 60 years and in the light of a remarkable number of adventures, a sketch of response without any claim of originality is seen on the horizon and it is appropriate to express it in the simplest terms: is the alchemy between a mix of elements, from location to atmosphere, from integration with the environment to service, from the understanding of a value that rests on food while transcending it to the ability to grasp the passion, vocation, pride that she or the one in which she hangs herself during an evening (yes, it happens more easily on the occasion of a dinner, of this I am convinced) is able to generate and then transmit, speaking with the skates and not only. at the base of everything is, in the end, that complicity rather rare to say the truth, regarding me the event refers to a number of restaurants that, between Italy and Europe, counts on the fingers of the hands that as magically you create, grows and confirms between who offers and who receives: It is this and nothing else to make the difference, and I repeat it can happen at any level, although potentially (note the capital) from the average high levels up the possibilities (as, specularly, disappointments) grow. all this to say that the experience consumed at the restaurant object of this review has been, as well as very rewarding, rather educational. The right approach from the moment of booking and confirmed on the spot where a measured friendliness has married an impeccable professionalism the ability of the owner and of those who have assisted him to put us at ease, the decision to leave ample space to the chef together with the incompetability of those who have conducted the service in the room, the succession of the courses as well as the surprises that have integrated them, had all this stopped the serene and satisfying incense. the menu from which we have concerted with the chef the choices is published entirely on the site the feeling is that any option would have produced equal result wines labels and similarly unconventional, niche I would say, have in turn strengthened the magic of the evening. good, very good, there is little to add. for fine palates and for an educated user to code and unwritten rites but appropriately internalized of good living. Bye-bye soon.
