Le Logge, Restaurant In Città di Castello

On Friday night I went out in Città di Castello with a group of my Italian friends from the sommelier course that I’ve been participating in over the last year. The course is run by the Association of Italian Sommeliers and is run by the local branch in Città di Castello. My friends are all local to Città di Castello and suggested that we ate at Le Logge, a restaurant on the courtyard just off the main piazza.

A Recommendation From The Locals!

Being Italian and trainee sommeliers, my friends have a strong interest in eating good food and drinking great wine. I was very happy to go along and try out Le Logge, they have been telling me for a while now how good it is there

Excellent Food

Tucked away inside a cloistered courtyard just off the main piazza, you could easily miss Le Logge. I have to say, this would be a shame as the food was excellent and not expensive. It was traditional food from Umbria with dishes such as gnocchi and tagliata, these were nicely presented and tasted great.

What Did We Drink?

We drank some interesting wines, starting with a bottle fermented prosecco and a couple of Italian Rieslings, however, my favourite was a 2009 Sagrantino from the Trabalza winery, well balanced and delicious, intense flavours.
