Il Moderno Perugia Centro Slow

Pretty and friendly place. Has some vegetarian and vegan option on the menu. If required, they can make also vegan pasta that is not on the menu.

In the heart of Perugia, there is a lovely restaurant with a very special atmosphere. It is the Moderno restaurant. I sat outside and I could read the menu through the QR code. I got the pappa al pomodoro and a chocolate mousse, made with rice milk. The chef explained that she makes the rice milk herself and I think this is relevant detail and it does make the difference! The food was very good and it is affordable

The location is small and, in my opinion, really beautiful. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with food. The options are few and not too exciting. As a first dish I took pasta with celery pesto and nuts and the pesto was not as I expected: it was liquid and the taste was monotonous. I would have liked to hear more nuts, in this dish according to me nonexistent, maybe cut coarsely so to give a little crispness and break the tiring taste of the sauce. Then I took the amish cake: a spicy cake of dried fruit accompanied by a rice cream and vanilla milk. In the meantime I really enjoyed the option of a vegan dessert and the first spoons were very good, but then to finish I made a lot of effort, as heavy and stucco. Instead of the cream I would have accompanied a sour jam, for example of raspberries, to lighten everything. At prices you can't say anything, right. Reading the other reviews I was disappointed by the experience I had.

A small but full of personality. Vegan options are not lacking and staff is kind and helpful

Ambiente molto piacevole, personale gentile e un menù che lascia l'imbarazzo della scelta a chiunque Updated from previous review on 2024-03-11
