Il Tempio

Perugia


Built into the 14th-century Porta Sant'Angelo, this is a choice spot for a bottle of local wine and foodie specialities from Umbria and neighbouring Tuscany (the owner's father is Tuscan). Before buying you can taste the wares in a small seating area under the sloping timber ceiling.
