La Lanterna Dei Trinci - FOLIGNO

This was only my second visit pilgrimage to La Lanterna as I don’t live in Umbria. So I chose the same 3 dishes to see whether I had imagined the quality and taste experienced during my first visit. I HAD NOT! It was just as wonderful. And all the other customers were Italian which is always a good sign. And thank you Claudio and Paola for your lovely warm welcome. See you very soon!

Tutto ottimo, trici al pistacchio gustosi, filetto al Sagrantino morbidissimo e saporito, semifreddo al pompelmo rosa da bis lo consiglio

One of the BEST quality meals I’ve eaten in a LONG time. Absolutely just stunningly delicious! Plus, we arrived very late (due to travel connections) and were still graciously accommodated by the kind couple. I believe all the food we ate (meat included) came from within a five-kilometre radius. What a difference that makes! The owner chef is beyond passionate about what he does. Which shows. Ref. Vegetarians Pescatarians. The restaurant is very meat-focused. There are no fish or chicken offerings. But the fresh rosemary potatoes and the puddings are so sublime, you’ll cope! I confess that I cracked and ate meat…with out-of-this-world porcini mushrooms. My philosophy excuse being, “when close to Rome”…and I do like to support local artisans. Well that’s what I’ll tell the local priest on Sunday! I live across the border in Marche but the hour drive to Foligno is just long enough to get the gastric kit ready for some serious action! (Apologies for any crazy Google translations of this review).

Ristorante piccolo all'interno ma ben curato,cucina tipica umbra e staff cordiale e attento alle esigenze del cliente. Per una cena veloce e per gruppi molto ristretti può andar bene.
