Stella Perugia | Bib Gourmand Country Cooking in Umbria

Stella: Country Cooking with a Bib Gourmand in Perugia

Perched in the quiet hills of Casaglia, just outside Perugia, Stella is the kind of place that feels both like a discovery and a homecoming. The restaurant presents itself as a vineria, a wine bar, but the kitchen delivers far more than simple accompaniments. Here, the focus is on country cooking — robust, ingredient-driven, and deeply rooted in the Umbrian landscape.

The atmosphere is welcoming and unpretentious. With both indoor and outdoor seating, a lunch and dinner service, and a wine list that clearly rewards attention, Stella invites lingering. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable in summer, and the presence of Wi-Fi suggests a place where you could easily while away an afternoon.

This honest approach to food and hospitality earned Stella a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award reserved for restaurants that offer good quality cooking at a good value. It is a fitting recognition for a kitchen that lets the land speak without fuss or fanfare. Whether you are stopping in for a glass of local wine or settling in for a full meal, Stella delivers a taste of Umbria that is both refined and deeply satisfying.
