The story

Serpillo Restaurant in Foligno: Seasonal Italian Contemporary Cuisine | Michelin Recommended

An Intimate Taste of Umbria

In the small hamlet of Torre del Colle, just outside Bevagna, Serpillo offers a dining experience rooted in the traditions of Umbrian regional cooking. The restaurant’s young chefs reinterpret local classics with a modern, creative touch, staying true to the ingredients that define the land.

The seasonal menu is the heart of Serpillo. It changes with the harvest, drawing on produce grown nearby. The kitchen’s philosophy is simple: cook and serve ingredients that are genuine and full of flavor. The wine list is curated to complement the food, with a focus on regional labels.

Atmosphere and Traditions

The setting is intimate and evocative. In autumn and winter, the dining room takes on a special character during the “Al buio” evenings—all lights are switched off, and the space is illuminated only by candlelight. This transforms the meal into a sensory experience that heightens taste and conversation. The restaurant is open for dinner daily except Monday, and Sunday lunch as well.

Serpillo is also available for private events, including corporate dinners from Tuesday to Friday evenings and Sunday lunch. The space can accommodate groups looking for a memorable meal in a personal setting.

Recognition

Serpillo’s commitment to high-quality, seasonal Italian contemporary cooking has earned it a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant. This recognition reflects the care taken in every dish, from the sourcing of ingredients to the creativity of the preparations.

For those traveling through Umbria, Serpillo is a stop that rewards the journey. It is located a few steps from the entrance of the Torre del Colle borgo, a short drive from Bevagna and Foligno. The experience is one of quiet elegance, where the food speaks for itself.
