Aldivino Ristorante, "the scent of contemporary cuisine," is a small gem set in the large complex of Al Battibecco, a short distance from Perugia. The place immediately has a strong personality: the eccentric interior, which unfolds in a long theory of rooms and lounges, proves warm and pleasant. Next to the entrance is a small lounge. All dining rooms house collections of bottles in tall racks up to the ceilings. The Ristorante Aldivino is a great place to taste and drink, thanks to the young, technical and strong personality of the chef, Enrico Pistoletti, and to the sommelier, Emanuele Rugini, who loves his job and knows how to "tell" as well as to advise. If eating out means looking for excitement, this is the place to be, where even the service, carried out with grace, departs from the banal routine to which we are (unfortunately) accustomed: here the serving trays enter the room with arms held high above the head. Enrico Pistoletti is the author of a con...

Amerigo since 1934, a trattoria, pantry and design inn: a concise definition that brings together a microcosm in constant turmoil, one that has strongly characterized these quiet, somewhat secluded places nestled among the Bolognese hills. The restaurant -which owes its name to the founding grandfather- still retains the original appearance with which it has welcomed generations of patrons with a simple cuisine made from raw materials that came from the courtyard, chicken coop, vegetable garden and nearby fields. Entrance is either from the Bottega overflowing with its own produce, with so many tasty things that it is impossible not to be tempted by, or from the small door on the little alley to the side. Amerigo is one of the food, wine and hospitality realities that fascinates us the most, a model of intelligent promotion of territory and tradition. Behind the results we have shown you are hard work, clear ideas and a lot of passion. Amerigo's cuisine is an experience that ...
