Enoteca Provinciale

Frommer's Review

This wine-store-cum-osteria replaces the livestock stalls of a medieval tower with a handful of wooden tables and a radio locked on the Italian pop station. Some regulars drop by just for a sandwich; others swill the day away with dozens of Umbrian wines. Strengozzi is handmade spaghetti served alla Spoletina (with spicy-hot tomato sauce), al tartufo, or in a game-based ragù. The standout soup is zuppa di farro (with crushed baby grains enlivened by veggies and meat). The secondi suit all appetites: simple panini, delicately flavored frittata al tartufo (an omelet for the indulgent in all of us), and daily specials such as wild boar cooked in Sagrantino red wine and truffled agnello (mutton). Order your wine by the glass so that you can sample a cross section of the best Umbria has to offer, and finish with the local bitter liqueur amaro di tartufo.
