L'Officina

Top choice in Perugia

LoginSave

Gourmet food at everyday prices make L'Officina one of Perugia's hottest dining tickets. Passionate owner Yannis shares his 30 years of Italian food and wine experience at this, his meandering restaurant set inside a former factory. The vibe is casual and the food modern and exciting with seasonally driven menus (including a vegetarian tasting menu) and inventive, artfully presented dishes.

As well as full meals, you can also stop by for an evening aperitivo (€6 for a glass of wine and nibbles).
