Restaurant with Typical Umbrian Cuisine in Spoleto
Il Capanno is a restaurant in Spoleto that offers typical Umbrian cuisine, with expertly renewed traditional recipes, without losing the connection with their own territory.
Restaurant surrounded by greenery
This restaurant, serving traditional cuisine, sits on the slope of a grassy hill, surrounded by centuries-old oak trees and filled with the scent of broom and the sound of birdsong. In this bucolic setting, it's easy to spot the old hunting lodge, now restored without damaging the original stone structure with exposed chestnut beams.
In addition to hosting banquets and weddings, the restaurant, serving traditional Umbrian cuisine, offers relaxation and tranquility to guests who wish to experience the vigor and joy of nature. It is an ideal starting point for pleasant walks and a refreshment point for explorers of the area.
From the restaurant, you can reach Mount Fionchi via a mule track and enjoy a stunning view. Furthermore, the area is surrounded by splendid, perfectly preserved medieval villages, adorned with towers, churches, and 16th-century frescoes.
Local Cuisine
The Il Capanno restaurant offers traditional local cuisine, showcasing the region and its timeless traditions.
And it is precisely this expertly renewed traditional cuisine that led the restaurant to receive, in 2017, the Tre Gamberi award from Gambero Rosso in the Ristoranti d'Italia guide, the highest award for the simplest and most authentic restaurants, that of the great local trattorias and traditional recipes.
The Restaurant's Garden
Il Capanno restaurant boasts a vegetable garden, allowing it to serve traditional, locally sourced Umbrian cuisine, perfectly in keeping with the restaurant's philosophy: homemade cured meats, pigeons from select farms, meat from trusted butchers, cheeses from Fattoria Calcabrina, local game, and home-grown vegetables.

The restaurant's cuisine showcases simple, yet flavorful, regional dishes, including artichoke with ricotta, fettuccine with white pigeon ragù, chicken livers in a net, gramigna and savory ravioli with white chicken ragù cacciatore, roast pigeon, breaded lamb ribs baked in the oven with herbs, delicious vegetables, and much more, including a gluten-free version, with a special focus on white truffle.
