€€Creative, Contemporary
This building with a minimalist, contemporary design is situated on the edge of the historic centre at the Sant'Erasmo belvedere, from where, in summer, panoramic views extend over Monte Conero and the sea (booking ahead is recommended). In the kitchen, owner-chef Davide Breccia conjures up creative dishes featuring original combinations and mainly inspired by the sea. There are two tasting menus, Iconico and Idee, for guests who like to be guided, plus an à la carte for those who prefer to choose their own courses.

This small welcoming restaurant on the famous Scalinata della Costarella in Numana, with a tiny terrace for summer dining and just a few tables, serves delicious cuisine with an imaginative twist. Originally from Sicily, the highly talented owner-chef has spent much of his life in the Marche and has plenty of experience in leading restaurants. Given the limited capacity here, booking is essential, especially in summer.
