Uliassi

★★★ MichelinWorld's 50 Best #50Tre Forchette€€€€Creative, Seafood

From being the perfect star of summer holiday postcards, the Adriatic Riviera becomes a painting or, if you prefer, an artistic film, thanks to Mauro Uliassi's captivating interpretation. The restaurant seems to be almost hidden and camouflaged among the beach establishments that crowd the coast of Senigallia: one would never expect to find a 3-Michelin-starred restaurant tucked away between beach umbrellas and the waves that lap the shore. The strength and originality of this cuisine lies precisely in its consistency in offering only the very best, starting with locally-sourced ingredients, w

Madonnina del Pescatore

★★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Contemporary

It’s now forty years since the Madonnina opened in 1984, yet chef Moreno Cedroni has not lost the creative touch that has resulted in him becoming one of the most influential chefs of his generation. Year after year, eating at La Madonnina remains a novelty: the menu succeeds like no other in reflecting past traditions and future culinary trends, especially in its fish and seafood dishes, and new dishes are added regularly, often having been researched in the laboratory next to the restaurant using specialised food technology. There are two tasting menus available: “Ricordi d'infanzia & Mariel

Bib Gourmand 1

Burro & Alici

Bib Gourmand€€Seafood, Classic Cuisine

With just a road separating it from the beach (in summer, the large windows open completely, so that the dining room has the feel of an outdoor terrace), this simple restaurant is similar to the many others dotted along the seafront in Marotta. However, it’s the food that is the main attraction – the colourful, generous cuisine of the Adriatic, with fish served in classic recipes occasionally finished with an imaginative and personal twist. Fish also take pride of place on the delicious gourmet pizzas served here.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews

Burro & Alici, located on the Marotta waterfront, specializes in seafood and classic cuisine. Food quality is generally praised, with fried anchovies, grilled octopus, and fresh fish highlighted as excellent. The menu also includes pizza and gluten-free options, though some reviews note inconsistent seasoning or preparation. Service is polarizing; while many appreciate the friendly and professional staff, others report slow pacing, disorganized dish delivery, and limited menu knowledge. The atmosphere is cozy and nautical, offering a pleasant dining environment despite being near a road. Value is mixed, with some finding it reasonable and others feeling the experience does not justify the cost, particularly when service issues arise.

Suitable for diners seeking seaside seafood who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies.
