Bottega di Perugia

Perugia


A wildly popular, standing-room-only panini hotspot offering locally-sourced porchetta (Wednesdays and Thursdays only) and salumi-stuffed sandwiches chased with local wines. It draws crowds into the wee hours but only about three people fit inside. Try the Gnorante, a winning mix of capocollo (a dry-cured pork meat), mushroom and pecorino cheese.
