Food & Drink
You are in for a delicious treat... The local restaurants take great pride in offering authentic Umbrian country cooking and Paciano’s numerous festivals are celebrations of the quality food & wine!
Enjoy specialities such as truffles, wild boar, porcini mushrooms, chestnuts, wild asparagus, pecorino cheese, freshwater fish from Chiusi and Trasimeno lakes prepared ‘a brustica’ – on embers of reeds grown on the shores of the lake. There are olives, prosciutto hams, Castelluccio lentils, beans of the lake, hand-made pici – the local pasta, walnut and pine nut bread at the restaurants, bars, markets and festas. And don’t forget the vino! Umbria boasts 11 DOC and two DOCG wines, the most prestigious being the Torgiano rosso riserva.
