Wordless Wednesday: Finding That Special Restaurant In Spoleto

Our concierge in Rome told us we had to have lunch in Spoleto, Umbria, at  Ristorante Apollinare.  It has even been Michelin rated.  Following Siri's directions, we could not find the destination on the left which was a thick wall and the museum of antiquity next to it.  

 

So we drove up to the square above the wall, and Siri would direct us back to the wall.  After 3 times, we parked and decided to ask the hotel nearby.  They sent us walking up the square and down a narrow street.  That little blue flag is above the entrance of where they are located.

It was definitely worth the trek.  We had pasta with fresh white truffles, and wild boar pictured above.  The service was superb.  And then, we were off to Norcia for our next adventure.

Good morning, Alexandra and Ron --- it may have been a bit difficult to find but certainly worth the effort.  Through your words and photos Ristorante Appolinare appears to be a very special dining experience.

You are making me hungry just looking at the photo. Good restaurants are often tucked away, all the locals know where to find them, but sometimes you have to lift the blanket to discover them for yourself.

Looks like the epitome of "hole in the wall", which I have learned tends to have the most delicious foods!

Hi Ron & Alexandra - There's very little in this world that tops lunch at a Michelin-rated restaurant in Italy. So jealous...

Joe Pryor we love Italian style, and it does influence our work tremendously.   We just started a wonderful new project, and I think the imagery we saw on this trip will influence our branding work in real estate.  A

Robert Bob Gilbert if you have seen the Peter Sellers Pink Panther movie, the one set in Rome had him going around in circles, and we were laughing at ourselves while doing the same thing here.  It was worth the journey.  A

Dick Greenberg and the best part of all this is that when we go back, we know how to find it.  I think it is part of the joy of travel, even though it is frustrating at times.

After reading your post and the following comments, just had to google to know more. As said above, yes, I am jealous, too ;-) 

 By the way, Ron and Alexandra Seigel, did you have time to go to Campo de' Fiori while in Rome.  I have known someone who once owned the current Ristorante Campo de' Fiori, once known as Taverna della Vacca (Cow's Inn) back in the 1500's.

This time we did not go to Campo de Fiori.  Three years ago we did.  We just explored everything close to us.  Thank you for your comment.  A
