La Locanda del Cardinale

A higher-end restaurant set over an excavated Roman domus — you can see the original mosaic floors through glass panels in the dining room. The cooking matches the setting: ambitious modern Umbrian, with truffles in season, hand-rolled pasta, slow-cooked meats, and a serious wine list weighted toward central Italy.

Expensive by Assisi standards but not Florence-priced. Reservations essential. Worth saving for a particular meal rather than a casual lunch.
