The story
Perched in the Umbrian hills above Piedivalle, Ristorante Guaita Sant'Eudizio holds a 4.7-star rating and a story of remarkable resilience. Reborn after the 2016 earthquake, the restaurant is now run by Domenico and Anita, who turn out thoughtfully prepared Italian fare. It has earned a spot on the Gambero Rosso list for five straight years.

A restaurant with an incredible story of rebirth after the 2016 earthquake, run by Domenico and Anita. They make homemade bread and pasta with simple local ingredients. On the Gambero Rosso list for 5 years.
A resilient trattoria in the heart of the earthquake-stricken Valnerina, serving generous homemade dishes at unbeatable prices, with a slight menu quibble on the carbonara misnomer.
Dishes mentioned
Tagliere di Salumi Locali
The prosciutto di Norcia is hand-sliced, super fresh, good. The lightly aged pecorino is good. For €11 all of this is a steal.
Stracciata al Tartufo
The stracciata al tartufo is a bit less creamy than usual, but the truffle flavor is strong. Good, fresh local products.
Lenticchie di Castelluccio con Tartufo
Lenticchie di Castelluccio with truffle on top, with the bread made this morning. It's an antipasto for €11, a real top treat.
Pane Fatto in Casa
Homemade bread, hot, very hot. Wholemeal bread. Good. It's a homemade hot thing, phenomenal.
Strangozzino alla Carbonara con Asparagi Guanciale e Tartufo
The pasta is delicious, perfectly cooked. But I can't taste the egg at all. It doesn't seem like a carbonara, it's more a strangozzo with asparagus, guanciale, and truffle. The homemade pasta is world-class, UNESCO heritage. If they didn't call it carbonara, it's a 10 out of 10.
