This unexpected gourmet restaurant is housed in a sports centre just outside the charming historic centre of Recanati, birthplace of famous Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi (a visit, either before or after your meal, to the Casa Leopardi and the hill which inspired his famous poem “L’Infinito” is a must, in our opinion).
