ristorazione — Cascia · Umbria
Among the hills of Cascia, in the hamlet of Maltignano, a restaurant serving home-style Umbrian cooking keeps alive the tradition of truffle and wood-fired oven, with the simplicity of those who cook for their guests as they would for their own family.
In Maltignano, a small hamlet spread across the hills of Cascia, Rosa and Alberto keep the door of La Lanterna open the way one keeps open the door of home. For those arriving from the road, the place is a discovery: you stumble upon it by chance, you go in, and you stay. The warm, family welcome is the first course to be served.
The dining room is large, the tables stretch out for families and groups, and the Menu Jolly (Joker Menu) sets the pace of the evening: a Maltignanese starter with around ten courses — truffle, porcini mushrooms, wild boar, genuine dishes of Umbrian tradition — followed by pizza. The portions are those of people who don't want anyone to leave the table still hungry.
The wood-fired oven is the warm heart of the place. The pizza comes out generously topped, as befits the hand of someone who prepares it with care and without haste. The same care that, at certain times of the year, produces the Easter pies — savoury and sweet — that customers take home the way one takes home a memory.
In the page you'll find the menu, opening hours and everything you need to reach La Lanterna in Maltignano di Cascia.
