The food here is based on a careful choice of ingredients (including produce from the restaurant’s own farm) from as far away as the Apennines, with a few ingredients from elsewhere in Italy, with a focus on traditional recipes.

Situated near the Mercato delle Erbe (well worth a visit either before or after your meal), this restaurant changes its menu regularly, sometimes even daily, in order to guarantee the freshness of its farm-to-table ingredients. The simple cuisine features some delicious vegetarian dishes, including stand-out recipes such as fennel with coconut and green pepper sauce. Don’t miss the home-made bread, which is baked daily with great technical skill.

There’s been a recent change in management at this informal, friendly restaurant which serves generously portioned, carefully prepared dishes from the region and elsewhere in Italy, all at highly competitive prices. Although the cuisine might not be particularly modern, this is good solid cuisine served in a welcoming atmosphere.

Although this restaurant is not in the centre, if you’re looking for excellent fish (mostly from the Mediterranean) personally selected by the owner - chef, then it’s well worth the few minutes it takes to find a parking space here. Beautifully cooked food, which is simply prepared using top - quality produce.
