Olmo is is kind of suburb of Perugia. It is along the high way between Perugia and Lake Trasimeno. In Olmo you can find a big Pam supermarket and just above this you will find this lovely restaurant. A real small family run business. The mother and brother are in the...
Time flies ... it really does. Especially when friends are visiting and life is good. Hence the terrible silence here ... but I will write something tomorrow (or at least very soon) about a lovely, very Italian, truffle restaurant!

A lovely restaurant / pizzeria (with wood fired pizza oven) in the centre of Perugia, just off Corso Vannucci. The restaurant pledges the use of as much as possible local (0 km) and organic ingredients. The pizza's are great (only in the evening). The menu is divided...
Last Sunday I finally managed to visit a real surprising little market, organized once a month at the house of private people. I had heard about this little market, but never had the opportunity to go and have a look. It was lovely and interesting. Apparently...
I should have added 'romantic' to this! I have not often eaten in an Italian restaurant that was almost entirely lit by candles. The effect was absolutely lovely. I am talking about Vineria del Vasaio in Citta di Castello. The food was good and the menu had different...
A few days ago, I found myself staring at this. I found it just outside the shopping mall 'Collestrada' near Perugia: One can buy a liter of raw milk for 1 euro. That is not expensive! The first time user is invited to buy a bottle for 1 euro and they explain on the...
