Eating and Drinking
There are a couple of anonymous bargain restaurants in Piazza del Mercato, at nos. 29 and 10, both catering mainly to Spoleto’s labourers and market traders. The best basic trattoria is Il Panciolle , at Via del Duomo 3 (closed Wed), which has a wonderful terrace for al fresco meals: service can be slow, so settle in for a long lunch. For something more special, go to Sabatini , at Corso Mazzini 54 (closed Mon), the town’s smartest spot (again with outside tables), or the nicely intimate Apollinare , Via Sant’Agata 14 (closed Tues): don’t be place off by the blue and gold upholstery. More informal is the slightly cheaper and bistro-like Pentagramma , signposted off Piazza Libertà at Via T. Martani 4 (closed Mon). The place to drink in the evening is the main bar on the west side of Piazza del Mercato.
