Granaro del Monte 1850 is the Bianconi family's historic restaurant in the center of Norcia, inside Casa Bianconi, and the owners present it as the oldest restaurant in Umbria. It is a member of the Ristoranti del Buon Ricordo and the Locali Storici d'Italia (Historic Venues of Italy).
Damaged by the 2016 earthquake, it kept operating from another location and returned to its historic rooms when Casa Bianconi reopened on March 29, 2025.
