Where to eat in Gubbio: truffle, crescia and Umbrian Apennine flavours

Gubbio: the medieval table of wildest Umbria

Gubbio is Umbria's most austere and fascinating city, set among the Apennine mountains. Its cuisine reflects this character: robust dishes, bold flavours, ingredients from the forests and mountain pastures. Black truffle here is not a luxury but an everyday ingredient.
