    I just spent EUR 40 on what is supposed to be the best burgers in this part of Italy and... No.

    Apparently the fishy one was ok (I wouldn't know, I hate fish) but the beef I bought for myself and the chicken I bought for daughter were both were worse than the most average white you'd get from a third rate kebabery in London.

    Never mind the shite frozen dipping fries.

    So annoyed. I've here for two weeks and have been continually told how wonderful this place is. It is not.

    • it's winter...
      how about melanzane alla parmigiana, or a ribollita whatever flavor they like locally?      uan
    • I've eaten a shitload of local food, and Umbrian. Folks in law were having a carry out curry from The Worst curry place I've ever eaten from, so opted for thisNairn
    • As I say, it came highly recommended by locals here. They think this shit's good. I could do better not even trying.Nairn
    • Open a restaurant there, get rich, never returngrafician
    • lol you're eating burgers in Italynb
    • Then I went to Thailand and you wouldn't believe it but the tacos were terrible!nb
    • @graf - partner comes from a summer town. I keep pitching existing ideas for us to come here and setup some food thing that exists, and works, elsewhere.Nairn
    • Work half the year, then fuck off for winter. @nb - the fuckers CAN do good burgers, which are int'l now. Just these ones weren't.Nairn
    • I spend about a month or two here every year. Damn me if I fancy a burger once in a while. Have you seen what Italians eat abroad? Clue: it starts with Pasta.Nairn
    • Also, there really is a worrying lack of fresh vegetables in use here at this time of year.Nairn
    • LOL @ comments...like it wouldn't be possible to get a good burger outside the US or great tacos in Greenland!!!oey_oey

    • I had this same experience in London with an £18 burger that was supposed to be "so amazing". It was not.monNom
    • Do you remember where that was, monNom?Nairn
    • Did you order in Italian or English?
      I know in France this makes a big difference in what you get. Maybe Umbria is the same.      uan
    • My partner ordered, In her local language. We're not in Umbria any more, back down on the coast.Nairn
