Peruca Restaurant
Local cuisine in San Gimignano
It all began in the 1990s, when Fabio Pernarella and Lidia Rugi, driven by a great love for cooking, decided to venture into this wonderful world. Our cuisine is the expression of a unique territory: Tuscany, and specifically San Gimignano.
Researching, showcasing, and showcasing local products and varieties is our mission. Ristorante Perucà's dishes are born from the dedication and passion of chef Axel Caldani, supported by sous chef Alfredo Latteo. Together, they bring a breath of freshness and creativity, blending tradition and innovation to offer an unforgettable culinary experience.
We invite you to discover the authentic flavors of our land, in a welcoming and familiar atmosphere.
We look forward to welcoming you!

In the heart of San Gimignano
Among vineyards and wheat fields, lies 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 explore. Our restaurant is located at Via Capassi 16, in one of the city's oldest buildings, adjacent to Via S. Matteo, one of the most characteristic and important streets in the historic center. Walking along it is like stepping back over seven hundred years, with its splendid medieval buildings and characteristic tower houses.
Here, you can discover and savor the most authentic and genuine Tuscany, a place where tradition is still deeply rooted in the land and where you can fully appreciate the unique flavor of one of Italy's most popular cuisines.
Vernaccia in the world
The product that best represents San Gimignano to the world is Vernaccia , the excellent white wine made from vines grown on the hills surrounding the village. This wine has the honor of being the first Italian wine to receive the DOC designation, way back in 1966, and the only Tuscan DOCG dedicated to a white wine.
