Awards Candidates 2019

11/09/2025: We arrived late in the evening, finding nothing else open in Ostra, as it was almost the end of the season. They turned us away, explaining that, due to the lack of reservations, the evening had been busy. We returned the following evening with a reservation. The service was friendly and attentive. We ate "chichette della nonna" (grandmother's chicchette), Cantinella's mixed fried fish, and everything was accompanied by Lacrima di Morro D'Alba. Highly recommended, with a reservation.

10/09/2025: Great experience, friendly staff.

23/08/2025: Fantastic Agriturismo nestled in the silence of the Marche hills. If you love tranquility, nature, and good food, I highly recommend it. Thanks to Gabriele and all his staff. We felt at home.

10/08/2025: At Agriturismo La Nocicchia, you can breathe in the authentic essence of the Marche region. Here, amidst rolling green hills and skies ablaze with fire and gold at sunset, Gabriele and Simona have created a little corner of paradise. The cuisine is a tribute to the Marche tradition: homemade pasta reminiscent of memories, sauces made with fresh and authentic ingredients, dishes that tell stories of family and the land. Each course is a warm embrace, a perfect balance of simplicity and flavor. Elisa and Edoardo, with their tireless energy, bring not just dishes but smiles to the table, combining impeccable professionalism and a captivating warmth. La Nocicchia is more than just a farmhouse: it's an experience that stays in the heart. It's the caress of the wind on the hills, the song of the earth in every bite, the magic of a sunset that accompanies dinner and seems to never end.

15/08/2025: Specialists in raw seafood and oysters! The full tasting menu is a unique experience, an explosion of flavor for the taste buds. It's like having the sea in your mouth! We've always had a great time and been welcomed with warmth. The service is attentive to every need and is courteous. Thank you for the little something for our anniversary, despite the misunderstanding with our order. You were generous when it came to the bill, and we're truly grateful!

14/08/2025: For connoisseurs!!!!!! Let the Chef guide you. We ate a freshly caught Fragolino fish filleted, partly carpaccio and partly fried, which was breathtakingly delicious.

13/09/2025: Always a guarantee!!! At Dal Mago, the food is excellent and the service is fun. We always come back, and we love the evenings with music.

03/09/2025: The best restaurant on our three-week tour of Italy. The authentic, traditional cuisine is simply fantastic, truly capturing the authentic flavors of yesteryear. The owner is very friendly and accommodating, always helpful. It was a pleasure to be here; we will remember it for a long time. Thank you so much!!! We regret we only got to be there once. Keep it up!

08/09/2025: For a wedding, we spent Saturday for the ceremony and Sunday until the afternoon. The owner, Michele, is fantastic, and all his staff, despite being mostly young, were impeccable. The food was excellent, and they were helpful and attentive to every request. The room was simple but very clean, the pool was truly lovely, and the views of the hills and castles of Arcevia were enchanting. My compliments to everyone. See you soon!

29/08/2025: Excellent food and very helpful staff. Dining outside on summer evenings with a view of the Marche hills is a real plus. Recommended.

14/09/2025: A unique, charming, and relaxing place. The waiter (or owner?) was incredibly empathetic. He welcomed us like old friends. The food was superb, even for vegetarians, with a variety of options. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. What more can I say? My husband and I go to restaurants often, but we've never had a better experience than at "Vintage."

03/09/2025: We were looking for a place to eat before the trip, we found it almost by accident but we had a great time. Fabulous cheek, very friendly service, highly recommended.

18/08/2025: A fantastic culinary experience. Simple ingredients revisited with a unique twist. We tried the flame menu, and in every course, we found the chef's narrative thread—the embers. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates this type of cuisine.

17/08/2025: When someone spends, it's only fair that they expect it. The first, and hopefully only, Michelin-starred restaurant I've ever given a negative review, not so much for the lackluster cuisine as for the clearly dilapidated dining room. It's unforgivable that the online menu doesn't reflect the paper menu, offering fewer dishes at the same price, and that customers receive different treatment based on their level of friendliness. The wine list isn't very appealing for lovers of natural wine, and its prices are significantly above average.

22/08/2025: A youthful eatery located in the historic center of Jesi, perfect for enjoying a quality sandwich. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

13/08/2025: The best hamburger for miles around, and it's been around for years! Especially good, gluten-free buns that you can't get anywhere else. All products are organic and locally sourced!

26/08/2025: Very alternative food, one of the few restaurants offering options beyond seafood. For example, falafel, shrimp, tortilla, etc. There are various vegetarian dishes on the menu. There's no sea view, but we found parking easily. Excellent value for money.

31/07/2025: Excellent, intimate, and quiet restaurant run by young, knowledgeable staff. Excellent food and a friendly atmosphere! Highly recommended!

20/08/2025: WARNING: My review is significantly different from the previous ones. The experience was completely negative on every front. The service was improvised, and the courtesy and professionalism were lacking. The rolls chosen by the chef left us completely dissatisfied: too much rice, not enough fish, and no ingredients that really stood out. You don't remember them; they were disappointing. The udon noodles were almost cloyingly submerged in soy sauce, and the portion was small for an a la carte dish. While we were waiting to pay, due to a bathroom issue, the staff argued loudly, causing great embarrassment to those in line at the register (including the chef, who kindly apologized to the customers...). Furthermore, alas, paying cash meant we had to ask the register staff for a receipt. You know? It's awful to go out to eat, willing to spend even more, expecting the a la carte menu advertised by the "red shrimp" and then find yourself JUST wanting to leave.

05/08/2025: A fantastic experience. True and authentic Japanese food. Careful and refined selection of excellent ingredients. Spectacular food, all in a modern setting that's reminiscent of ancient Japan. Excellent service.

05/09/2025: I'm absolutely blown away by this restaurant. Sea views, incredibly friendly staff, sublime dishes—appetizers, first courses, and second courses—during our vacation we tried a little bit of everything, and they were all fantastic. Even the desserts, incredibly delicious. The best restaurant of all. Compliments to the staff 💕

04/09/2025: Fantastic restaurant. The tuna is highly recommended. The millefeuille is also excellent. Good advice on wine selection. If we lived here, we would come every week!

11/08/2025: A wonderful discovery in Ascoli Piceno! It was a real surprise. The food is exceptional: every detail is carefully crafted, creating a perfect blend of flavors. What I appreciated most was the ability to customize the menu based on your preferences: there's a fixed price for each option, which varies based on what's included. Everything is excellent, from the dishes to the wines, which are truly excellent. The atmosphere is pleasant, even in the outdoor area, and the staff is super friendly. We'll definitely be back!

08/08/2025: Currently, perhaps the best place to eat in Ascoli Piceno, with attentive service and a good menu. Everything was excellent, with just the right portions.

07/09/2025: A truly unique and characteristic place: in addition to the traditional dining rooms, there's an area with small caves that create a charming and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was impeccable: professional, kind, fast, and always attentive to detail. Service truly makes the difference. We had a mixed appetizer and, for our main course, the sirloin skewer to share: a real surprise, even for those who aren't big meat lovers. The quality was excellent, and the service was attentive to every step, from carving to presentation. The prices were absolutely fair for the quality and experience offered. In short: excellent food, a quaint location, and superb staff. 👉 Highly recommended, a wonderful discovery!

30/08/2025: Excellent food, excellent service, the fiorentina was amazing, really recommend it! Beautiful charming little commune with a nice sort of castle. Lovely experience, will come back :)

02/09/2025: Very good We waited But it was worth it Best regards. From Reggio Emilia

02/09/2025: Delicious fish street food! Everything's very quick, and the calamari is simply amazing! Despite the Bayern stickers, this is a highly recommended spot for a quick lunch!
