Da Peppone - PERUGIA

We had some fantastic and well priced meals in Perugia, unfortunately Da Peppone wasnt one of them. The apertisers arrived for 3 out of 4 of us and the owner had to be reminded twice re the missing Fritto Misto. For the mains 3 of us had almost finished before the 4th pizza turned up. My partner and I had the pork and it was overcooked and very dry (in fact one was slightly burnt), the overall impression was the chef didn't care about what he/she was serving. When we'd asked for the bill the owner turned up with dolci (we think as an apology) but even so it tasted like Sara Lee. It may have been because it was a Sunday and the restaurant was very quiet but we had better, and cheaper, meals in Perugia. Look beyond this restaurant.

We went to dinner based strictly on the menu as we walked looking for dinner. It felt like we were with family we were treated so nicely and were surrounded by locals. Food is good and reasonable! We had carafe of house red (surprisingly good), 2 bottles of water, bruschetta (good), pasta (bacon, onions and red sauce that was yummy and filling as my only dish) and veal Marsala (excellently cooked) and one grappa for just 53€. We would go again!

The food was good, but not special. The prices are reasonable. What we enjoyed was the local scene filled with families. The owner knew everyone, however, as other reviewers have noted as a non-local don't expect him to acknowledge your presence, not that it matters. Overall, it is a good, moderately priced restaurant.

Historic restaurant of the City of Perugia with perugina cuisine made with quality ingredients. The owner Giuseppe, always helpful and kind.

We had lunch at this property during a trip to Perugia with friends.... good handmade pasta but not exalting the chosen condiments, good wine of the house, in the context a satisfying stop......
