Palazzo Petrucci

Palazzo Petrucci Review

Nestled in a 17th-century mansion facing the grandeur of 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 gallery where a glass partition lets you keep an eye on the kitchen, or in the cozy room overlooking the piazza, where the famous Guglia di San Domenico marble monument soars heavenward. Fortify yourself with a complimentary glass of prosecco before making the agonizing choice between the à la carte offerings and the menu degustazione (€45). A popular starter is millefeuille of local mozzarella with raw prawns and vegetable sauce. The paccheri all'impiedi (large tube-shape pasta served standing up) in a rich ricotta and meat sauce is an interesting twist on an old regional favorite. The decor is elegantly minimal but the culinary delights found here are anything but.
