ristorazione — Gubbio · Umbria
On the hills that climb beyond Gubbio, in the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, a family-run trattoria has kept alive the ritual of the truffle since 1985. Reaching Da Baffone is not always straightforward — the panoramic setting and the local cuisine reward every mile of the way.
The sign appears after a climb through the woods of the Apennines: Da Baffone has stood here since 1985, a reference point for those seeking truffle in its natural territory. The setting, deep in the heart of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, is no accident: it is the same land that, depending on the season, yields the black or the white truffle.
Inside, the family-run spirit shows in the warm welcome and the pace of the dining room. In summer the outdoor veranda opens onto the Apennine landscape: the tables fill with guests who come from afar too, drawn by a cuisine that does not chase trends but respects the season and the local ingredients.
In the kitchen, pasta is made in-house every day, rolled and cut in the Umbrian tradition. Truffle — black or white depending on the time of year — arrives in generous shavings on every dish: not as a seasonal garnish, but as the main ingredient. Anyone who sits down at Da Baffone discovers this from the very first bite.
The dish that arrives at the table tells the whole story: local ingredients, fresh pasta and generous truffle. The full page awaits anyone who wants to know more.
