Osteria del Turreno

This tavola calda diner opposite the cathedral has been serving basic lunches with a Perugian twist for decades. The day's dishes are displayed canteen-style; pick what you fancy, pay at the till, and take it to your table, inside or out. Options always include simple pasta (such as lasagne, 4.10€), grilled meats, and plenty of salad and veg. Desserts are a bit scarce -- but beer and wine (3€ for 1/4 liter) aren't!
