The story
On a hillside near the ancient town of Amelia, Tenuta del Gallo is a family-run relais set within a working farm of over twenty hectares. The restaurant, which earned a Michelin recommendation, embodies the owners' philosophy of hospitality: familiar, discreet, and refined. Here, the art of welcoming is rooted in family history, with an atmosphere that feels like being invited into a private home.
The dining room reflects that same personal touch. Antique furniture, Flemish paintings, and heirloom pieces fill the space, while the kitchen draws from the farm's own orchards, olive groves, and vegetable gardens. The chef works with ingredients at kilometer zero, turning Umbrian tradition into dishes that are both grounded and precise. On the menu, you might find strangozzi pasta with fava beans, crispy guanciale, and pecorino; tagliolini with black truffle; or a beef fillet with herbs. The wine list highlights local cellars, and the tasting menu offers a way to explore the breadth of the kitchen's approach.
Meals are served in a relaxed, unhurried setting. In warmer months, the infinity pool overlooking the valley and the surrounding olive groves become part of the experience. The property also includes a medieval dovecote tower and the ruins of an old church, reminders of the landscape's depth.
Tenuta del Gallo is more than a restaurant—it is a place where respect for nature and the pleasure of the table come together. The Michelin nod simply confirms what regulars already know: this is Umbrian classic cuisine at its most genuine, served by a family that genuinely cares.
