Ristorante La Cantina

Fabulous lunch overlooking the lake. We had the fixed menu which was excellent. Really interesting dishes based around the local fish. The carp porchetta was especially notable.

Good place with good food, the service is fast and fair. Even without a booking they have accepted us to dine in there, they can communicate in English and the views are great.

This place smells so good. I ordered the beef rib for 2 people and beef with potatoes. Honestly I was disappointed in the food. The rib was like no rib I had ever seen and it was mostly bone. My beef had twice the mushrooms that it had beef.

Absolutely fantastic. A very beautiful restaurant with a warm classic vibe. The food was spectacular. I would return to Perugia just to eat the sausage and mushroom pasta. Sensational.

My wife and I were in the area and hungry and wanted to get some lunch, so we chose this location out on convince. This place was overall "good" , however, I wouldn't go ranting about it. The servers seemed a bit "annoyed" that we were tourists. This was our first time experiencing that in Italy. We did ask to sit outside when there was no rain at all, especially since the view was spectacular; the server replied, "No, because of rain." We didn't push it because we were tourists (you know). The food was okay. We have had twice as good of food for half the price, but you are paying extra here for the location. The atmosphere was good, but not to go raving about. It was fine, but I expect others are better nearby.

We went there as a group of three right at 12:00 noon on a Sunday without any reservations, and we were sure happy that we did! The place filled up quickly with a seeming after-church crowd, and it was a blast! Families with kids and nonnas were everywhere, eating and having such fun! The food was incredibly delicious, with generous portions--the waiters were very attentive, but not too much, which we really liked. The views and the general atmosphere in the beautiful garden make this a perfect place for an afternoon meal. Highly recommended!

Outside seating was fabulous despite the umbrella that was supposed to cover our table was broken and we were super hot while we ate. Our steak was brought out and cut by a waiter and served to us which was nice.

Excellent food and service, reasonably priced. Beautiful outdoor dining but also indoors. Only thing is we ordered at 7:15. but food was only served at 7:40pm as kitchen was not ready so kids were getting impatient. Reservations recommended as it was full on a weekday evening.

We got the bistecca alla fiorentina and the filetto di manzo here, as well as some sides. Can honestly say they were the best steaks I've ever had. Everything from the sides, to the desserts, to the wine, everything was just delicious. The service is great, and the views are divine. 10/10 would come back here. Cost a bit of change, but absolutely worth it.

If you want to have a view of the lake, this is your place. If you want to have good food well... this is definitively not your place. When your boxed pasta made at home taste better than the one at this restaurant, there is a problem. Never in my life I have to put salt on my pasta because there was absolutely no flavor at all. Probably one of the worst pasta ever.

Cantina is a large restaurant with both inside and outside dining areas in a very central location. We stumbled upon it easily while wandering the streets of this tiny Umbrian town. Service was both friendly and prompt. The menu is comprehensive with local Umbrian delicacies (beef), a small selection of seafood dishes, and an extensive pizza menu. I started with the carpaccio, which was a few large slices of dried beef, served with fresh soft cheese and "candied grapes" on top of a bed of mixed greens. I expected the grapes to be similar to raisins but they were still juicy and moist. Portion was pretty large for one person as an appetizer. Because it was a chilly day I also opted for the "pappa al pomodoro," a traditional Umbrian soup. It's described as a soup with bread, fresh tomato, and fresh cheese, but it's literally puréed tomatoes and bread with a dollop of fresh cheese. Definitely a comfort food! I topped mine with a splash of olive oil, which added a nice fresh flavor to the mix. I was stuffed by the time it arrived so only gave my main dish (a coregone filet) a cursory taste. It was cooked well but I just couldn't make more room! (In case you don't know - I didn't! - coregone is a whitefish, somewhat similar to trout in texture and flavor but a bit meatier.) Would eat here again!

Gorgeous view on the terrace, amazing pizzas (get the arugula/cherry tomato), wonderful service and very reasonable prices. Our Italian villa hostess told us to go - and 95% of the patrons were Italian - great sign!!

We went there during the mushroom season, it was delicious. Pizza look awesome, you can hear the noise of the wood burning in the hoven. If you are curious choose the local specialty. I've got no reasons not to recommand you this restaurant. Very nice service. Beautiful place. We choose local beerinstead or wine good choice if one of you choose fish ans the other meat. Last argument for... prices are reasonnable

A nice location with a large menu and efficient service.

The first time my wife and I ate here we had a simple lunch in the way of a pasta. My wife chose the pasta with fish sauce and I decided to go for the pici with goose sauce, which was noted as a local dish. Like the title says, it was kind of a mixed feeling of quality. My wife got standard spaghetti which was not very well cooked (harder than al dente) and the fish sauce was very bland and little in volume. On the other hand my homemade pasta had a very good bite and the sauce had a good wild taste with a reasonable amount of meat. Seeing that both pastas were almost equally priced, it's very hard to recommend the fish sauce pasta. The service was ok, English speaking (basic) and the terrace outside is nice on a hot afternoon, but you do have to cope with the occasional bugs flying around, although that is not due to this restaurant itself. In the end not bad for it's price, but we find it difficult to recommend on the overall quality of pastas as these were so mixed.

What a find! Beautiful terrace under a pergola over looking the lake. Lots of locals eating Sunday lunch. Huge gluten free menu including pasta, bread and pudding which was delicious. There was a bit on confusion with the order but it all worked out.
