When the restaurant we originally wanted to eat in was fully booked, we despairingly entered La Taverna. We were told that they were full also. As we started to leave, the chef/host told us that if we didn't mind, he could seat us in the wine cellar. As it was getting a bit late, we accepted. As it turned out... More

After reading the reviews we thought we would try La Taverna for our one night in Perugia. The quality of restaurant is definitely high end, service was as it should be for such a place, with the addition of serving carts adding a little flair. Unfortunately the food overall was way too salty. Each of the four dishes we had... More

The service, ambiance and food combined to make this a most memorable dining experience. The owner, Claudio, is charming and speaks impeccable English, saving us any embarrassment when ordering.

We had a wonderful dining experience at La Taverna. The food was delicious, the service warm and attentive, the atmosphere festive, and Chef Claudio was welcoming. The menu is in Italian but have no fear, Claudio and his staff will help you make the perfect choice. The Prosecco is a great complimentary welcome. My husband and I hope we get... More

We are often in Perugia for business travel and always our first choice for dinner is La Taverna. The chef (Claudio) and the staff at the restaurant are first rate and can guide you throught the menu to something you may not have experienced before. Personally, I tried for the first time Ravioli with the Tartufalo cheese sauce?? Not sure... More

We have now been there three times, and each dining experience has been outstanding. The service is excellent and the food is exquisite, with Chef Claudio going out of his way to make sure that every person at every table... More

In Perugia for 2 days, we chose to have dinner here based on the excellent Tripadvisor reviews - and we were very glad we did. There is a lovely ambience in this restaurant, service is excellent without being at all overbearing, and the food is delicious. A complimentary Prosecco on arrival is a lovely touch. Though not cheap, it is... More

Absolutely outstanding restaurant. The food is superb and the service at the very top. Claudio is the ultimate host, making the rounds to be sure all is functioning well. This restaurant and the Divo in Siena top the list for the very best places to eat in our almost two weeks of driving through Italy. They outshine virtually anything we... More

La Taverna was one of the gastronomic highlights of our trip around Italy and Claudio does an outstanding job of making every guest feel special and catering to their likes and needs. If you are feeling a little adventurous then ask Claudio to prepare something for you that he thinks you will like. In our case he approached the challenge... More
