Peruca Restaurant
Local cuisine in San Gimignano
It all started in the 90s when Fabio Pernarella and Lidia Rugi, driven by a great love for cooking, decided to dive into this fantastic world. Our cuisine, in fact, is the expression of a unique territory in the world: Tuscany, San Gimignano . Researching, enhancing, and proposing local products and varieties, this is where the dishes created by chef and owner Lidia Rugi and Danilo Cristino come from.

In the heart of San Gimignano
Among vineyards and wheat fields, stands the beautiful city of San Gimignano , declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1990. Its unmistakable towers dominate a landscape that deserves more than one visit to discover it. Our restaurant is located in Via Capassi 16 , in one of the oldest buildings in the city, adjacent to Via S. Matteo , one of the most characteristic and important streets of the historic center: walking along it means taking a dive into the past of over seven hundred years, with its splendid medieval buildings and typical tower houses.
Here, you can discover and savor the most authentic and genuine Tuscany, a place where tradition is still strongly anchored to the territory and where it is possible to fully appreciate the unique taste of one of the most appreciated cuisines in Italy.

Vernaccia in the world
The product that, more than any other, can tell the story of San Gimignano in the world is Vernaccia , the excellent white wine made from vines grown on the hills surrounding the village. A wine that has the honour of being the first Italian wine to receive the DOC designation back in 1966 and the only Tuscan DOCG dedicated to a white wine.
