Locanda Montelippo

At the highest point of the town, in Gabicce Monte, a short tunnel with porthole windows leads to a lift and from there to the restaurant: an enchanting terrace (enclosed by glass walls when the weather demands) commanding views over the sea and the surrounding hills. We recommend arriving at sunset: when weather conditions are favourable, the sunset from here is spectacular. Much the same can be said of Davide Di Fabio’s cooking, which draws inspiration from various gastronomic traditions – local and otherwise – to which the chef brings a personal and thoroughly accomplished interpretation.

This is the stage for chef Stefano Ciotti, where elegant interiors meet a contemporary flair. From its recent past remains a playful mix of round and square tables, along with a touch of “pop” spirit in the small outdoor area.

Here, having risen through the culinary ranks, the owner-chef makes full use of his expert techniques to create dishes that hover between tradition and a sense of fantasy using the best seasonal ingredients that the region has to offer. The concise wine list favours micro-producers and natural wines.

A new restaurant in Urbino’s beautiful old town, where the designer-style decor blends harmoniously with the historic architecture. The modern, contemporary-style cuisine finds inspiration in ingredients from the Marche, as well as featuring flavours and traditions from other regions of Italy such as Sardinia, Campania and Lazio.

As you drive along the scenic road from Pesaro, the sunset appears to the west, emerging from the greenery, while to the east the sea appears and disappears, finally settling as the backdrop to the pleasant outdoor area of this restaurant. This is the creation of the chef-owner, who, after traveling the world and working in Michelin-starred kitchens, has returned "home." He incorporates everything he has learned into modern and sometimes creative recipes, occasionally adding a light fusion touch, such as using fruit in dishes such as spaghetti with mussels and sea urchins enhanced by two well-

Boasting a superb location above Gabicce Monte, this excellent restaurant run by the third generation of the same family offers breathtaking views of the Romagna coast. Posillipo’s superb fish dishes have made the restaurant a must in the region, with options ranging from raw fish to traditional pasta specialities and delicious main courses (fish fillets, catch of the day, fried options etc). There’s also a tempting dessert trolley and an excellent wine list.
