Caffè Turreno In Perugia

Caffè Turreno is located in the historic centre of Perugia, a few dozen metres from the cathedral. This café-restaurant was part of the historic Turreno cinema-theatre, dating back to 1871, which was closed in 2010, but is due to reopen in 2025 thanks to an innovative project that will make it a multipurpose cultural centre. In the café-restaurant, recently reopened under new management, we had a quick lunch on the first day of 2024. We had "pinsa Cantabrico", a focaccia with burrata, courgette flowers, Cantabrian anchovies, a "Paleta iberica di Patanegra 80g e torta al testo" (Torta al Testo is an ancient Umbrian focaccia mixed and cooked on a cast iron plate, then filled with the best of the local butcher’s pork products), a dish of pasta with anchovies and a "Satellite" an out-of-menu dessert (wheels of meringue layered with whipped cream and chocolate), a bottle of water and a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau for a total bill of €59.20. All tasted very good and the service was excellent.

On a cold day in early December I wanted to have an indoor aperitif, while walking I decided to enter this bar. The bar is nice but extremely messy (fish aquarium with the favorite team's scarf, poorly maintained and unclean bathroom with threatening signs about the aim) We ordered a bottle of wine for two for the aperitif, I asked what we had to eat so as not to get drunk, the annoyed owner said that the chips were arriving or we could order a pinsa (some snobs have an aperitif before dinner and don't they want a dish, but only an accompaniment) Very serious: I was asked very explicitly to pay in cash: I am also a freelancer and in taxes alone I pay more than the annual net salary of a worker: this request was very offensive.

Estoy pasando unos días en Perugia por una competición y se ha convertido en mi cafetería favorita de la zona. El trato del gerente y de la camarera Luna ha sido increíble. Se han esforzado en comunicarse en español conmigo, siempre atentos y todo estaba riquísimo. Sin duda para repetir.

Se ha convertido en mi cafetería de confianza estos días en Perugia. La atención magnífica, el café y los dulces deliciosos. Si alguna vez vuelvo a Perugia regresaré sin dudarlo.

Ottimo servizio, personale molto educato e gentile, prezzi adeguati, cibo molto apprezzabile. Caffè offerti a fine pranzo pur essendo turisti. Consigliato!!

Polite, welcoming staff, tasty pinze (local specialty similar to pizza). Expect to wait during peak hours.

Ho fatto sia colazione che pranzo d'asporto qui. E direi tutto buonissimo. Le loro torte al testo sono deliziose. Lo consiglio.

La location è un grande classico a Perugia, sede di un caffè storico in pieno centro. La cameriera è stata molto gentile e disponibile per tutta la cena, consigliandomi tra l'altro anche un ottimo amaro al pino che non conoscevo. La scelta nel menù è abbastanza ampia e anche la carta dei vini è molto ben fornita. Aperitivo Pata Negra, buono e servito con tre pezzi di torta al testo. Primo: umbricelli al ragù di coniglio, abbastanza buoni ma la pasta un po' avanti di cottura e incollata, inoltre il prezzemolo non c'entrava granché. Torta sacher come dolce un po' secca, nulla di memorabile. Conto non stratosferico ma comunque abbastanza salato.

Tutto buono! Cappuccino e caffé è molto buono!

Obsługa miła, jedzenie pyszne, kawa też bardzo smaczna.
