ristorazione — Gualdo Cattaneo · Umbria
On the edge of Gualdo Cattaneo, in the green heart of Parco Acquarossa (Acquarossa Park) among small lakes and open space, Il Mulino is a restaurant that grows out of its territory: authentic Umbrian cooking, carefully selected ingredients, a place where the meal becomes part of the hillside landscape.
Parco Acquarossa — with its amphitheatres, small lakes and vintage tractors — welcomes the restaurant in a setting out of the ordinary. Gualdo Cattaneo, a hilltop village in the Perugia area, is truffle and porcini country, and Il Mulino makes them the thread running through every season, working with local producers who guarantee freshness and genuine quality in every dish.
The dining room draws guests looking for the taste of home without giving up on care: Umbrian cooking is the compass, but the menu widens to meat, fish and game on request. The partnership with local producers brings ingredients that change with the seasons, chosen one by one; the value for money, noted by several reviewers, is part and parcel of the offer.
Behind the stove, fresh pasta and desserts are made every day by the hands of Fausto Malossi and his staff: homestyle preparations that reach the table still warm. The pizzas follow a natural rise — a light, easily digestible dough, also available gluten-free — a sign of the artisan approach that runs through the whole menu.
Truffles, porcini mushrooms, homemade desserts: the page of Il Mulino tells everything that Parco Acquarossa brings to the table, season after season.
