Please share with us your favorite places, prefer moderately to reasonably priced non-touristy places. Thanks in advance. (We are not big wine drinkers...)

As they are the most heavily visited cities in Italy, you will find dozens and dozens of prior posts here with helpful suggestions.

There you will find Il Ristorante Coccorone - Largo Tempestivi Montefalco Phone +39 0742 379 535. Great for lunch or dinner. I know you said you are not big wine drinkers, but Montefalco is the home of the Sagrantino grape and you'll find it on their wine list and used in their dishes too. If you are not driving, don't bother. Wed Sep 26 19:16:46 -0700 2007 2953905 103072 Clove
