I'm a long-time lurker on this board.....originally from Boston but have been living in NYC for the past five years. Anyways, I've been to Umbria a couple of times (May 2007 and May 2009) and this post prompted me to register. I stayed in Spoleto both times and have visited Spello, Montefalco, Bevagna, Orvieto, Todi, Perugia, Assisi, Norcia, Trevi, Foligno and a few others. I traveled strictly by public transporatation (trains and buses), so I can't give you any recs for the countryside. And all of my market experience is from Spoleto. Here are a few dining recs:
Spoleto - La Torretta (great little trattoria), Osteria del Trivio (great pasta)
Spello - Entoca Properzio (great little wine bar with friendly staff), La Bastiglia (high-end restaurant with an adventurous kitchen)
Orvieto - I Sette Consoli (high-end restaurant that gets much praise)
Montefalco - Antico Frantoio Brizi (great little trattoria, the owners have a B&B and an olive oil press a couple doors down which they took us on a tour of)
Perugia - Antica Trattoria delle Volte (been twice...excellent both times)
If you have any questions, ask away and I'll do my best.
