"Ho trascorso tre giorni in Umbria ed il Green Pass mi è stato chiesto sempre, in ogni esercizio commerciale, con educazione e fermezza, ma qui no (e non solo a me, ma neppure agli altri avventori entrati prima e dopo di me). Sono tornata in questo locale, per il compleanno di mia mamma,  dopo averci festeggiato il mio la scorsa estate. Eravamo stati talmente bene che, la festeggiata, aveva espresso il desiderio di tornare. Purtroppo, oltre il mancato rispetto della regola, abbiamo trovato anche il nostro tavolo molto vicino ad un altro (il povero cameriere, per passare tra due tavoli, doveva fare la gimkana dietro la sedia di mio marito, urtandola inevitabilmente ad ogni passaggio) e la mille foglie, che sognavo di rimangiare, non aveva nulla di quella gustata in estate che stata la migliore mai provata! Questa volta, il dolce che mi è stato portato, era una sorta di sandwich composto di un pezzo di sfoglia quadrata messo a base, una crema, che nulla aveva della leggerezza e delicatezza che ricordavo ed un pezzo di sfoglia quadrata a chiudere. La sfoglia non era friabile e leggera, ma dura e dal sapore forte. L'impiattamento poi, era caotico e sciatto. Insomma, il dolce che ho mangiato a febbraio, non ricordava, neppure minimamente, quello di luglio. Non do il minimo del punteggio (anche se sarei tentata, per la mancanza del rispetto della regola green pass) perchè le altre portate, erano oggettivamente buone.Peccato insomma."

"I brought my girlfriend because the reviews this place. We had the most unpleasant experience ever I could not believe what happened. This might sound a long review to read but I really had to be precise so we can prevent this for happening again. 31/12 at 2pm We arrived and we were welcomed by the waitress and we got a table. We had to wait 45 minutes to get the food, which was quite long for “gnocchetti” and an “Umbria soup”, considering we were only 3 tables (6 people in the restaurant. During this time, we were also served by an old man, the owner. He acted rudely, not only to us but also to a german couple in front of us. This was just the beginning… 2:45pm We received the food and started eating. 3:15pm I had to take a call for work and considering that there was nobody else in the restaurant, I asked to the waitress if I could no problem for that. I took the call. At that moment, we had just finished eating and ordered a coffee. At this time things started escalating. The owner was going around his restaurant WITHOUT a mask (breaking Italian covid regulation and started complaining that he had to close to eat so we needed to get out. I have never seen someone working in a restaurant so impolite and aggressive. He knew that I was on a call and he was, on purpose, talking very loud, making noise and moving chairs. He then started SMOKING inside the restaurant, on another table in front of us. I was on this call and I could not react, I was just waiting to be done to get out. 3:30pm The call finished, we had already paid. The man was looking at us, with loud and aggressive voice saying that he had to close, that he did not eat at all and that we were late (but the served us 45 minutes after we made the order.. . I mentioned to the man, while leaving that that he should not probably deal with the clients directly because all that he did not only created a terrible experience but also was against the law (no mask and smoking inside a restaurant open to the public . While we were going towards the door he also started saying bad words in italian (I am italian and from a close village to me and my girlfriend. Then he smashed the door hitting with the door the foot of my girlfriend that was leaving the restaurant. I then look at him from the outside. He came outside, very aggressively saying: “what do you want! Just get out of here..” and swearing to us. He got close to me to a point that I felt threatened. We left and we were quite shocked of what just happened. This has been by far the most unpleasant experience I have ever had. After all this, I learnt that nobody from the village goes into that restaurant because the aggressive and unpleasant behavior of the owner."

"Piccolo locale vicinissimo al museo del vino. Abbiamo preso un tagliere con 2 calici di vino scelti da un'ottima lista. Servizio , garbato e gentile. Solo mi permetto di suggerire di portare sempre al tavolo la carta dei vini e il menù per poter permettere ai clienti di avere una scelta più ampia. Abbiamo chiesto un tagliere di salumi, ma se avessi letto la lista probabilmente avrei aggiunto anche altro. È pur sempre l'enoteca di Lungarotti, quindi mi aspetto una adeguata professionalità."

"If you are shopping like mad for ceramics in Deruta and the clock strikes 1:00pm all the stores close. Time for lunch. We asked our shopkeeper where we should eat, and he quickly recommended Asso id Coppe...”All the truck drivers eat there. You can’t go...wrong.” So midway between Sud and Nord exits for Deruta on the E45 is a gas station [access from the northbound lanes] and behind it sits and unassuming hotel and restaurant. It was Sunday afternoon and the place was packed with groups, but they found us a table for two. The crowd was authentic...Italian families out for Sunday lunch. The food flowed from the kitchen in quantifies we could not believe. We ordered roast chicken and received a whole chicken that was delicious. Add a salad and side order of spinach, a liter of mineral water the total came to 24 euros. And we took home enough chicken and spinach for another meal."
