Norcineria Massatani 1913 — Restaurant in Foligno

Every time I step into Norcineria Massatani 1913 in Foligno, I feel like I’m experiencing the heart and soul of Umbria. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re surrounded by the incredible aromas of cured meats, aged cheeses, and specialties that have been perfected over generations. There’s a sense of history here—you can feel that this family has been doing it right for more than a century.

The quality of the food is extraordinary. Their prosciutto practically melts in your mouth, and the salumi are rich, flavorful, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. Even something as simple as a slice of their porchetta feels special. What makes it even better is the warmth of the people who work there. The entire staff treated us like we were family. They don’t just sell you food; they share stories, give recommendations, and make you feel like part of the tradition.

I’ve traveled to many places in Italy, but Massatani stands out as a true highlight of Foligno. It’s more than just a restaurant, it’s an experience that connects you to the flavors and culture of this region. If you want to taste authentic Umbria, this is where you go. I can’t recommend it...

This specialty shop of meats, cheeses and other delicacies is located in the centre of the town and it is truly a beautiful shop. Not only can you eat here and order from the wide range of options, you also receive a delightful service. A found treasure, as I think that it is not widely known by tourists. I recommend to try tagliere as it comes with a variety of salame (hard and soft, I was advised that everything is local produce), prosciutto, olives, cheeses and a marmalade of figs. There is also mortadella with cucumber served on a wooden platter board along with some fresh bread. I highly recommend this place, nothing seems to be too...

I had a lovely time at Norcineria. Florina, one of the employees, explained the menu for me and made very good suggestions. I ended up having a mix of chesse and different types of prosciutto, which was great - and since I couldn't finished, Florina offered to organize the leftovers for take away. Really thoughtful The place itself was beautiful and welcoming, right at the city center. Hopefully i will be in Foligno again...
