Locanda Martinelli
It’s well worth leaving the coast and climbing into the foothills to get to this small restaurant serving excellent cuisine. Housed in a rustic-style house with individual furnishings, in what could be the sitting room of a private house, the restaurant serves meat and fish specialities prepared with imagination from local produce and ingredients from further afield. As well as being a wine expert, the female owner gathers herbs, flowers and berries to flavour her recipes.

Located in Castelnuovo della Misericordia, Locanda Martinelli offers modern cuisine in an intimate setting with approximately 20 seats. Reviews highlight exceptional food quality, fresh ingredients, and attentive service, with chefs providing detailed insights into their seafood and land-based tasting menus. However, criticism focuses on small portion sizes and perceived poor value for money, with some diners leaving hungry. While the atmosphere is praised as cozy and professional, a few guests noted issues with reservation transparency during peak times. The restaurant is best suited for those seeking a refined, high-quality culinary experience who prioritize flavor and technique over generous servings.
Ideal for fine dining enthusiasts who prioritize ingredient quality and culinary technique over large portion sizes.
