The Best Breakfast And Brunch Spots In Assisi, Umbria

Jonathan Stern

A small town in the rolling hills of Umbria, Assisi is known primarily as the birthplace of its sacred son, Saint Francis. This charming medieval town attracts many tourists each year, who come to experience the peaceful atmosphere between its winding streets. This guide to the best breakfast spots should make any visit delectable as well as interesting.

Assisi

Hosteria Nova Baccanale Cafè

Near Piazza Matteotti in the upper part of Assisi is where you’ll find Hosteria Nova Baccanale Cafè, a charming and peaceful locale that makes an excellent breakfast option. Customers may end up spending a few hours in this cozy café, sipping a frothy cappuccino and enjoying an apricot muffin or cream filled croissant. Baccanale has frequent events, such as music concerts, events for children and sometimes hosts English and Italian conversation groups.

Nonna Nini

Start the day off right at Nonna Nini, where you will be received with open arms. This café is away from the main tourist areas in Assisi, allowing visitors to escape the more crowded spots. The décor is a mix of modern and old world charm, and there is even a fireplace with a picture of Nonna herself hanging above it. Don’t forget to try the marmalade croissants.

Cappuccino

Bar Sensi

If you have a craving for something sweet in the morning, then visit Bar Sensi, a pastry spot that specializes in local flavors. There’s an ample selection to try here, from brioches filled with cream or ricotta to biscotti that perfectly accompany a coffee. For a local delicacy, try the rocciata, a cake filled with dried fruits and nuts.

La Piazzetta di Agnese

A cozy café that’s worth stopping by for breakfast is La Piazetta di Agnese. The vista from the outdoor seating area is truly fantastic; from here, customers have a spectacular panoramic view of the valley below Assisi. Order a coffee or a hot chocolate with whipped cream, sit back, and relax for a while before hitting the churches.

Castello di Petrata

It’s not every day that you have the opportunity to eat breakfast in a 14th century castle. But you can do just that if you make the trip to Castello di Petrata, located just a short distance north of town. An authentic Italian-style breakfast comes with selections like cappuccino or tea, yogurt and homemade sweets. For those in the mood for something on the savory side, there are eggs, bacon, sausages and juices to choose from.

Hotel Giotto

Hotel Giotto Assisi

Hotel Giotto Assisi serves a large American-style breakfast buffet in its restaurant that includes sweet and savory treats to please any palate. In the summer, be sure to sit out on the terrace to marvel at the stunning views of the Umbrian plains below. Breakfast here is the best way to gear up and energize for a day of touring hilly Assisi – remember, there is a whole load to see in this UNESCO Heritage Site.

Basilica of St. Francis

Ristorante Bar San Francesco

In 1945, Ubaldo Angeletti decided to open a hotel and restaurant in the house where he lived, which just so happened to be right across from the Basilica of San Francesco. Today, Ristorante San Francesco also includes a bar area; a convenient place where patrons can pick out a few snacks to power up in the morning, before heading over to tour Assisi’s top tourist attraction.
