Frommer's Review
Il Falchetto is one of Perugia's best and most popular dining spots. Try to sit in the more atmospheric back room, with its 14th-century stone walls and ceiling, or out on the piazza if it's summer -- during Umbria Jazz; it's like having free seats to the concerts on Piazza IV Novembre. The dish to order is falchetti verdi, a personal-size casserole of rich, filling spinach and ricotta gnocchi baked with tomato sauce and cheeses. Or, sample the umbrichelli alla casalinga (homemade fat spaghetti in spicy tomato sauce). Then try a tris della casa, made up of three regional specialty secondi that might include torello alla Perugina, filetino di vitello (very thick, tender milk-fed veal served with porcini, truffle, and wood mushrooms), or an agnello rope twist of grilled lamb.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
