When the chocolate cake Dennis ordered arrived, we demanded extra spoons so that everyone could taste it - and we're glad we did! The house wine is delicious -- we had both red and white at our table. Ravioli with truffles was delicious. And salads were terrific!! interesting place, down the steps and around a corner - very charming.

This is a terrific restaurant. Beautiful inside and the food is excellent. The maitre d' is very helpful and friendly. So is his staff. Everything we orderered was terrific including the wine recommendation (no he did not recommend the most expensive one).

This was a highlight of our week in the Perugia, Umbria region. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere romantic and beautiful, and the owner-head chef, Claudio, was charming, interesting and interested in his clientele. This is not to be missed! From the welcome sparkling white wine to the Claudio-made chocolate liquor at the end, every morsel was delicious and outstanding!... More

We brought a party of around 75 Irish friends and family to this restaurant the night before our wedding in Perugia and we couldn't have been happier. Claudio and his team made everything so easy - from picking a very affordable menu to welcoming us all and producing wonderful food and wine. All the team was so friendly and helpful.... More

A friend and I spent three days in Perugia and dined at La Taverna twice. The food is terrific, but the food is not the only draw: My friend and I were in a eyewear shop the next day and Chef Claudio was there as well. He remembered us and asked us about our meal. We were back the next... More

Is truly fabulous! My husband and I have been dinning at La Taverna for the past three years whenever we are in Italy. Chef Claudio and his staff always welcome us as if we are part of the family. The food and service are consistently excellent. All meals are finished off with a complimentary homemade chocolate liquor which is wonderful... More

Everything in this restaurant is perfect. Service excellent, food perfect, price less than you would except for 5 star. Chef Claudio comes to every table to talk. Pure Italian and has cooked all over the world. I too am a chef and I can tell you, this is the best of the best. He has been here 25 years and... More

La Taverna was a superb dining experience from beginning to end. It was very easy to make a reservation directly with the restaurant in english as the owner and chef speaks fluent english. The restaurant is located just off the main street in the old part of the city and down a little road. Dinner was very good, professional service,... More

Good service and atmosphere... Very central and convenient. Food is dull, quality is middle to low level , price far too high... I am utterly disappointed. I am also disillusioned about the reliability of trip advisor as this turns up to be number one in perugia! Forget it!
