Vespasia

The route to the table winds through a sequence of small rooms before opening into the Sala del Vespasia, the fine dining room inside Palazzo Seneca. A Michelin-starred kitchen run by a Japanese chef, her cooking draws on Umbrian staples like black truffle, Sibillini lamb, and local cured hams, shaped by years working across southern Italy. The Bianconi family has been hosting in Norcia forever, and the warmth at the front of house shows it.
