Perugia


Buried under the Cinema Zenith, Perugia's oldest cinema, this local favourite draws a savvy alternative crowd. In keeping with the art-house atmosphere, it serves an eclectic mix of Mediterranean and Italian fare, mostly with a biological bent.

So you could kick off with a veg ratatouille before moving onto a primo of basmati rice with chicken and lemon sauce or a secondo of startlingly good 'Etrusco' steak.
