Those in search of excellent fresh fish and local cuisine will find that
Lake Corbara offers a broad range of restaurants and trattorie to suit all tastes and pockets.
The most celebrated dishes in this region of Umbria are pork sausages cooked over a wood fire, the so-called ‘mazzafegati’, as well as salame and ham. Te area is also known for its game (quails and partridges) cooked in a case of bread dough.
A must for fish lovers is certainly the local carp, à la
Regina in Porchetta.
Although the area clearly abounds in fresh water fish, it is excellently supplied with fish from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
