What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Osteria Mangiafuoco is highly praised for its authentic Umbrian cuisine, generous portions, and incredibly friendly service, especially from the owner. Diners enjoy the cozy, rustic atmosphere and the value for money, with many calling it a hidden gem.

"We happened in here while waiting for our train after a long day of travel. Without a doubt, this was the best meal we ate on our trip to Italy. The owner was gregarious and helpful with recommendations. We tried a few pastas and antipasti and he helped make sure the food was out in enough time for us to catch our train. We will certainly be back if we are in Perugia."

"We came to this restaurant as we were so jet lagged and it was a 5 min walk however, it was fabulous.. The owner took such good care of us, staff/servers were amazing, even spoke limited english for us which really helped. The food was amazing, hubby had the wild boar pasta, I had the truffle brie cheese pasta and I was very weary as I do not like mushrooms but it was so flavourful and creamy, I loved it. Bottle of wine and the price was only $42 euro. A great experience, thank you from western Canada 🇨🇦
