Nestled in a 17th-century mansion facing Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, Palazzo Petrucci doesn't lack for dramatic dining options. Choose between tables under the vaulted ceiling of the former stables, in the the gallery where a glass partition lets you keep an eye on the kitchen, or in the cozy room overlooking the piazza. Fortify yourself with a complimentary glass of prosecco before making the the agonizing choice between the à la carte offerings and the menu degustazione (EUR 40). A popular starter is lasagnette baccalà con scarole e pinoli tostati (layered cod with escarole and roasted pine nuts). The paccheri all'impiedi (tube-shaped pasta served standing up) in a rich ricotta and meat sauce is an interesting twist on an old regional favorite.
