Where to eat in Gubbio: 7 places for crescia and truffle
Updated 13 November 2026 · 2 min read
Among the stone houses of Gubbio, from Via dei Consoli to Via Cavour, you eat Umbrian mountain cooking: crescia flatbread cooked to order and filled, white and black truffle on tagliatelle, pork butchery and soups. The centre is small and very busy: at weekends it’s best to book.
We chose 7 of the best-loved places on foood, looking at average rating, reviews and what diners say about the dishes. For each one you’ll find the page with opening hours, contact details and, where available, online booking.
A cured meat, wine and crescia bar on Corso Garibaldi: cheese boards with fragrant crescia and polished dishes such as Fassona tartare with burrata and truffle.
Also on Via Cavour, generous portions and local dishes: the famous Piattone del re, tagliatelle with truffle, polenta with wild boar and brustengo (fried flatbread).
On Via dei Consoli, Gubbio’s loveliest street: umbricelli cacio e pepe with guanciale, Chianina ravioli with black truffle, porcini and porchetta-style suckling pig.
In the countryside, a few minutes from the centre: an agriturismo (farm restaurant) with a set menu that changes with the day’s cooking, starting with local cured meats and cheeses.

The first thing to taste is crescia, bread cooked on a griddle, filled with cured meats, cheese or sautéed greens. Among the pasta dishes, tagliatelle and strangozzi with truffle, umbricelli and pulse soups; among the mains, grilled meats, wild boar and suckling pig. To drink, a red from the Umbrian hills.
