As unlikely as it seems, we got take-out BBQ last night. Yes we did. And it was good.
There is a restaurant in Perugia called Pinturicchio Cafe+Kitchen. It does American breakfasts and Brunches and Lunches. It is closed for dinner due to the restrictions right now. They make really great ribs, pulled pork, wings, biscuits, sides, like coleslaw and cowboy beans, and finally delicious pies! Oh my! Yesterday they had Pecan Bourbon pie and Strawberry Rhubarb pie.
I had seen them advertise that they delivered to a town called Spello. I thought well, if they deliver there…what about here? So, I contacted them and they were willing. I contacted some friends and we got enough orders for them to come. Maybe, if they come back, the word will have gotten out and we will get more orders next time.
We ordered a rack of ribs, two pulled pork sandwiches, an order of wings, biscuits, coleslaw and a piece of Rhubarb pie (for me!). We had the pulled pork last night. Biscuits and pie today. It was great. Ribs for tomorrow….a taste of home.
Maybe many of my readers don’t understand the craving for foods from home. It is a strong pull. The comfort foods of my childhood make me remember, and make me happy. The ethnic foods I can’t get here I miss a lot. The meals we ordered last night were a great taste of home. I wish to say strongly, I adore Italian food. When I used to come as a tourist I loved the food more than anything and I still do. But, as with anything, after time you yearn for different tastes and memories of home… 💕
Buon appetito!
It was good, I hope you enjoy it when you go, they have bagels and American breakfasts too!
This is great information. I had learned of this place from a Google search, but had no idea how the food was. A previous experience at a BBQ restaurant in Passignano was not good. We will definitely check it out.
Hi Allisa,
It was a great find. And they are hungry enough after this horrible long shut down of restaurants that they will do a lot to get business. I feel for them. But now things should get better business-wise. I heard from him yesterday that they are working on a 4th of July BBQ in Torciano. Town not far away…in a winery.😃 sounds intriguing !
So excited to see you! Aperitivo on the piazza is in our future!!
Wow!
What great fortune to find this restaurant! And delivery too.
You’ve got it made.
Woah, Nancy! That is amazing!
Arriving 1. June. See you very soon!
Xx
Hi Allen…It is a strong craving isn’t it!!! It’s why I cook different things… 😋
Nice !! I understand the craving of foods from back home.
Oh! You WERE desperate. 🙂 We DO miss our comfort foods !
è vero.
How true, Nancy. I remember when I lived in Rome in 1970-71, I missed hamburgers so much that I would get the very occasional burger at Wimpy’s!
There’s no taste like home.
The pulled pork was certainly legit! Tomorrow the ‘cue ribs.
That looks like some legit ‘cue!
