Ristorante Settimo Sigillo — Restaurant in Perugia

I went there with a couple of friends and from the first step inside it felt different, like kind of medieval but also cozy somehow, stone walls everywhere and candles, warm light that made us stay longer than we wanted actually. The food was great, I had some meat with truffle, really rich and tender, full of flavor, I keep saying this but it was really good, and my friends got pasta and they were saying it felt homemade, not touristy fake stuff. The waiter was nice, he explained some dishes and suggested a local wine, honestly I don’t remember the name, but it matched perfectly, small details like that always make the night better.

Prices not really cheap but I didn’t feel robbed, for the place and the design I think it was fair, at least for me. I kept looking at the desserts on other tables, they passed by like two times, looked tempting, I regret not ordering, next time for sure. Oh and the waiter had this blue shirt and seemed a bit in a hurry but still polite, funny detail I noticed. Anyway, I’d go...

Just okay. Nothing special. There are so many other great restaurants in the area. Service was okay and food was acceptable. I didn't care for the bowl of pork gristle (see photo) in my carbonara, but the waitress assured me that "everyone loves it". It is what locals were raised on, so I get it. It just isn't something that I like. I removed them and the pasta was fine. The "souffle" was a plate of spinach with a cheese sauce. It was okay, but not a souffle. No T.P. in the bathroom. We were the first and only people here for lunch, so obviously the T.P. situation wasn't checked. I see why no one was here for lunch when the other restaurants were full. A mistake on our part. On a positive note, it is a charming dining room. The bread was the best that we've had in Italy in a long time. Everything was okay, but it is not worth more...

We have eaten at Settimo Sigillo twice. We went back the second time because we enjoyed it so much the first. The second time exceeded our expectations. Il ristorante provided a fresh look at traditional Umbrian dishes. The rooms are spectacular with great art work, hand made tables and beautiful ceramic dinner ware. The food was subtle. We enjoyed the truffles without being overpowered by them. Our party had multiple pasta dishes and all were incredibly fresh and light. Portions were always manageable. I Secondi were simple straightforward food, prepared beautifully. Service was prompt and friendly. A truly great...
