There are plenty of reasonable places to
eat
in Urbino. The cheapest deal is the university
mensa
on Piazza San Filippo, which is open to student ID card-holders only. For those on a budget, there are any number of fast-food and self-service outlets: try the
Pizzeria-Bar
at Via V. Veneto 32 or
Franco
at Via del Poggio 1 (closed Sun), which is both a self-service place and a restaurant. The best of Urbino's sit-down pizzerias is the reasonably priced
Morgana
, Via Nuova 3 (closed Fri in winter), or you could try the slightly cheaper
Fosca
, Via Budassi 62 (closed Thurs).
Le Tre Piante
, Via Foro Posterula 1 (closed Mon), just off Via Budassi, has more interesting offerings, such as pasta dishes like
strozzapreti
- "strangled priests", with sausage, cream, mushrooms and peppers - or tagliatelle with lemon and prawns while
Trattoria del Leone
, on Via C. Battisti (closed Thurs), is an authentic sidestreet place serving good home-made pasta.
La Balestra
, Via Valerio 16, has tables inside and out and serves typical food from Montefeltro (as this part of the Marche is sometimes called) with a pizzeria that stays open until 3am, while
Vecchia Urbino
, Via Vasari 3/5 (closed Tues; booking advisable tel 0722.4447), is highly regarded for its truffles and specialities from Le Marche. For bargain
vegetarian
dishes you could do worse than to try
Un Punto Macrobiotico
, Via Nuova 6 (closed Sun) and for
ice cream
, go to
L'Orchidea
on Corso Garibaldi.
As for drinking and
nightlife
, the curiously named
Bosom Pub
, Via Budassi 24, has a good range of bottled beers, including Belgian classics, as well as decent sandwiches; there's also the
Cagliostro
, a kind of pub-restaurant at Via San Domenico 1, and
Gula
at Corso Garibaldi 23, where you can get cheap pizzas and good beer. If you're in search of live music, local bands tend to play at
Underground
, Via Barocci 16. Other useful information
