Alle Murate
We explored (yes this is the right verb word for this restaurant) this hidden gem, located right at city center. The setting is quite dramatic: the whole restaurant is housed in a small pallazzo from the 13th century and features the oldest known portrait of Dante Alighieri. As if all this was not enough, on the lower ground floor you can see the remains of an archaeological site discovered during recent excavations. Food and Restaurant entrepreneur Umberto Montano is the founder of this incredible place, which now carries Fishing Lab in its name due to its seafood specialization. Feel tempted? Make it even more special by asking for a table on the second floor and you shall be seated immediately below some of the most beautiful frescos in the house. We had an unforgettable evening at this restaurant, highly recommended.
