Situated in the heart of the historic centre, this restaurant pays tribute to the Cagli region and the Marche hinterland. Dishes feature the best local ingredients, such as truffles in season (both black and white), as well as a dessert in memory of local sculptor Eliseo Mattiacci (the “fabbrica del cosmo” made with yoghurt, wafers and strawberries). The wine list shows a strong preference for the Marche, but also features wines from further afield.
WebsiteSituated in the Gola del Furlo nature reserve, this restaurant is run by the talented and enthusiastic Alberto and Roberta, whose focus is on typical Marche specialities such as fresh pasta, cured hams, fine cheese and regional dishes full of intense flavours. The picturesque grotto carved into the rock is perfect for an aperitif, while the inn also offers charming guestrooms.
