乔尔吉别墅

Situated amid hills in a secluded and panoramic location, this farmhouse offers guestrooms, a spa and a restaurant, where meat (often cooked over the grill) takes pride of place on the menu, alongside various local specialities such as stuffed pigeon, roast goose and “coniglio in porchetta” (stuffed rabbit).

Situated on the main street passing through the town, this bright, relaxing and well-soundproofed restaurant on the first floor is run by two brothers – one at the helm in the kitchen and the other front of house. While continuing the family tradition, the brothers also serve the type of cuisine that they prefer, namely fish and seafood in dishes that are both classically prepared and substantial. The menu also offers good alternatives for meat-lovers.

In this pretty, welcoming restaurant, the female chef from Albania, who has adopted Italian culinary traditions over her many years in the country, serves a choice of tasting menus. Her dishes have distinct geographical names and are full of colour and prepared from top-quality ingredients which change with the passing seasons. There are only a few tables available, so booking ahead is always a good idea. You’ll be warmly welcomed with a friendly smile that sets the tone for what is sure to be a highly enjoyable evening.

At this restaurant in the charming historic centre of Macerata, chef Michele Biagiola serves dishes inspired by rural culinary traditions, with herbs foraged from the fields nearby featuring in some of his recipes. The chef’s signature dishes and gourmet cuisine are served at lunchtime, while the evening menu focuses on more traditional fare served in a relaxing and informal atmosphere.

Occupying a period building in the heart of this beautiful village, with an outdoor dining space laid out under the portico in summer, this restaurant serves typical cuisine from the Marche on its various tasting menus and à la carte supplemented by daily specials. Boasting a rustic and pleasantly informal atmosphere, the restaurant also offers six romantic guestrooms with wrought-iron beds, including a four-poster bed in the Sogno room.

Hidden among the alleyways of Jesi, Osteria Forno Ercole is a former bakery (part of which can still be seen) which serves authentic cuisine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Local recipes and Mediterranean flavours come together on the traditional menu, with a focus on seasonal ingredients of the highest quality. Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, Marche-style fritto misto and steak with carrots, potatoes and radicchio are just some of the dishes on the menu here.
