It's located in the middle of main street to the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli church (Via Patrono d'Italia) from the station. Since there are two similar trattorias on the same street, please don't miss it. Santucci is closer to the church.
Bruschetta of black truffle paste. To enjoy the flavor of truffles, it's the most simple way of eating. Let's wait for your pasta dish while enjoying this starter with local red wine.
"Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms" and "Ravioli with tomato, basil and truffle sauce". Soooo delicious!!!
The main dish "Fillet of beef with artichoke sauce". It was really juicey.
Quite large mass of fillet...
The local liquir Amaro of "St. Francis". Not too much bitter aftertaste is refreshing.

Here is a super recommended restaurant to take a specialty of Umbrian food, black truffle at a reasonable price. Their dishes with local seasonal ingredients have mild tastes. It's a little bit difficult to find a simple but delicious restaurant in Assisi, where many tourists come from all over the world. But here Santucci is popular among locals, who assure the good taste of this place. It's an unpretentious family-run trattoria. Inside is bright and spacious. 5 minutes walk from Assisi Railway Station so it's appropriate to stop in before going to the center of Assisi or after the tourism. |

Let's order a starter first of all. If you want to enjoy a lot of tastes, the Antipasto platter (Antipasto misto) is recommended. I ordered a bruschetta of blach truffles, "Bruschette al tartufo". Three slicec of bread topped plenty truffle paste. It's pure paste with no preservatives, prepared with only skinny cutted truffles and olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can enjoy 100% truffles. It costs incredibly only 3.5 euros! Because they get summer truffles from a trusted local merchant, it's possible to serve this quality at a minimum price.
The various lineup of pasta menu catch your eyes. Since there are too many types, you'll puzzle to choose! On that day, I chose "Tagliatelle with Porcini mushrooms (Tagliatelle ai funghi porcini" at 6 euros and daily menu "Ravioli with sauce of cherry tomatoes, basil and truffle (Ravioli di Fossa e Tartufo con ciliegini e basilico)" at 8 euros. It's possible to order "Bis style", two types of pasta at half portion. The smell of melted porcini and oil sauce was wonderful. Ravioli was also very very delicious. Basil added aroma and tomatoes added sweetness, at the end truffles added sublime note. The seasoning was also ideal. In addition the manager recommends "Ravioli with the sauce of Sagranti (local wine) and truffle", "Homemade Gnocchi with Gorgonzola chees sauce" and "Local-style noodle Strangozzi with Santucci sauce (tomato and caper)" from many other pastas. It's also suggested "Penne alla Norcia (short pasta with sausage and cream sauce)". Every dish is rifined with little salt and fresh taste of raw materials are very tasty.
For main dishes they have grilled meats. My choice was one daily menu "Fillet of beef with artichoke sauce (Entrecote di manzo con carciofi)", at 11 euros. It was a large chunk of beef filet (estimated 300g!) baked in a frying pan and seasoned with artichokes sauce. Entrecote means fillet in French. The meat was very moist and inside was finised rare. Every bite you can taste the juicey gravy. The sauce of full flavor of artichoke was preeminently suitable to this beef. Another famous main dish in this trattoria is geese (reservation is required). Next time I want to try it.
I received many suggestions about their homemade desserts like Tiramisu and Panna Cotta. However, I was really full and I gave up in tears. The tiramisu seemed really delicious!!! Instead, I ordered Amaro. Amaro is bitter sweet liqueur of some roots and bark of medicinal plants dipped in alcohol. Amaro means bitter in Italian. It's an ideal digestive drink after heavy meal. Among several types, I chose "Amaro of St. Francis" for Assisi's saint. This Amaro had a relatively sweet taste.

Perhaps, the area near the station is considered only for transit for tourists. However, there is one of the pilgrimages for St. Francis "Churh of Santa Maria degli Angeli". And you can enjoy a local residential atmosphere. And one of the best trattorias "Santucci" is waiting for you! Trattoria was opened 20 years ago by a family. Good food and comfortable place will leave you a good memory to your trip.
Since tehre are several unique and various dishes on menu, you'll puzzle to choose what you can take. Exquisite meat is refined a little bit rare. All of deserts are highly recommended. Especially tiramisu and mille-feuille are very fresch. It's also very important that they serve all of these delicious dishes at very low price. We were in three and payed ony 55 euros for lunch!!
