Perugia. Middle of August in the historic center. Maybe even more. Course Vannucci is in the hands of tourists - thank goodness -. Perugino I'll meet and greet three or four: Renato Bottini (at work), Mr. Guido Capaccioni (at work), Eng. Paul Sclafani traditionally Antonello Brughini , RAI journalist, a step away from the birth of their first child. By Nicola Sebastiani go down along the stairs that lead from Piazza della Repubblica to the beautiful terrace of La Taverna Restaurant Claudio Brugalossi , by way of the Witches.
man of character Claudio, globetrotting chef. His is a table with no half measures: you sit down or not, love it or avoid it. And 'the fruit of his character (... alive and those who have defended him). By Nicola leaving for a summer lunch ...: Crostini giblets - him - braided Caprese di Bufala - I - Spaghetti Clams - both -. We drink Pinot Grigio of Rocca Bernarda .
The table is well made, elegant . The service is accurate , friendly , right on time. Claudio sits at the table with us. Caprese Very good, excellent even basil. "E 'Basil of my garden" - Says the chef . From the kitchen here is the Spaghetti alla Vongole. Claudio off a pepper plant from the pot on the table and color our plates. The taste in my mouth is back children: the clarity of simple tastes, the texture of the pasta ... "Home made: the pasta the bread the ice cream ..." The Bruga is determined to defend the history of the house. We taste the dish and when is empty ... my eyes are crossed with those Nicola, a word and part of Claudio, the time back in the kitchen and that's more spaghetti with clams. More of the good first. The words round the room, memories and mixed reviews. Let's talk about wine, Anthony Hopkins, colleagues - his and ours -, oil, shirts Yorkers. Even customers of two other tables join in the conversation. That's nice.
Dolce. Gelato . Cream. Made today by Claudio.
Who loves ice cream , anywhere, know that today the restaurant "La Taverna" in Perugia I ate ice cream extraordinary. Worth the trip alone. Who loves ice cream knows that you can do.
missing from time to La Taverna, but the simple lunch today and built around user-friendliness, have reopened the door to the feeling.
