"Dinner at Civico 25 was a highlight of our trip to Perugia. A great find! It is in a lively, edgy part of town with a thriving art street scene but it’s still only a 4 5 minute walk from Piazza IV Novembre. The menu focuses on quality local Umbrian dishes. I can recommend the Strangozzi with Pachino tomatoes, pancetta burrata €15) and the ossobuco €18), which was melt in your mouth delicious. We ordered the house wine, a local Umbrian red from Cantina Cenci which we enjoyed a lot. The restaurant seemed to be mostly filled with locals and as is frequently noted, this is always a good sign for tourists. No turistico menu here it is only in Italian. The one very small gripe I had is that it's a QR code menu. I like an old school physical menu and I don’t think I’m the only one). Nobody minded QR code menus during the covid 19 pandemic but I think it’s time to ditch them. Most tables are downstairs but we sat upstairs at one of just a handful of tables on a mezzanine level. It was a nice, quiet area for couples and the service was very attentive sometimes you can get neglected if you are tucked away in a quieter area but definitely not a problem here service was excellent). It’s probably always better to book ahead but we rarely do because we never know how our day might play out. We got a table easily but we were eating early and the restaurant had filled up a lot more by the time we were leaving."
