ristorazione — Campello sul Clitunno · Umbria
At the Fonti del Clitunno, where spring waters shape a small lake among the willows, stands a trattoria that has made freshwater fish its story. Campello sul Clitunno, Umbria: a place that Carducci celebrated in verse, and one that still reveals itself slowly, to those who know how to pause.
The avenue leading to the Fonti also leads here, where the small lake beside the trattoria is not just scenery: it is a living larder. The trout swimming in it are the same ones that reach the kitchen, fresh that day. The outdoor tables look onto the water, in a cool shade that in summer becomes the main reason to return.
Inside, the wooden ceiling gathers light with the same restraint that Umbrian cooking brings to its ingredients: no excess. Truffle from Norcia appears in the frittata, a simple dish that needs nothing more. The room is small and intimate, made for those who want to eat well without unnecessary ceremony.
The kitchen works river fish with direct technique: grilled trout, creamed trout, prawns and eel. The raw material comes from the lake or from local fishing, and the menu follows what the territory offers. Alongside the fish, grilled meat and cured meats complete a picture faithful to Umbrian tradition.
A stop at the Fonti del Clitunno worth the journey: the page includes hours, contacts and everything needed to plan a visit.
