"Avoiding the seen-it-all-before Italian food can be hard in this beautiful country. ..But not this time! La Fuga gracefully combines unmistakably fresh local ingredients with a smart and colourful approach to traditional food. Their dishes are not ornately presented but beautiful nevertheless. Rather than getting lost in complicated menus, we were fed a unknown number of dishes, simply based on the products that were available on that day (with the single choice of stating if vegetarian, vegan or otherwise). Portions were very generous, however, with a style of cooking free from butter or heavy dressings, we surprisingly ended up not feeling too full. We started with apparently innocuous but truly delicious miniature vegetable cakes, plus local cured meats and cheeses. The feather like veggie homemade ravioli, accompanied by a rocket pesto, were probably my favourite and yet more ravioli variations came and they were equally irresistible. My friends meat dishes were too memorable, I hear, with the fulsome flavours of locally farmed animals. Dessert, local liqueurs, biscuits, etc, all included in what was a perfectly affordable bill. Oh, and did I say that we had lunch under the outside pergolas and then relaxed on the deck chairs shaded by the trees (and with a beautiful countryside view)? Not least, the owner and the staff were a pleasure and a delight to deal with. Top marks all around, no doubt."
