13/10/2025: A little out of the way, but worth a visit. Everything is excellent and reasonably priced.

25/09/2025: Three of us, for a business lunch, ate very well, the service was fast and the advice was professional. Excellent quality/price ratio. Compliments to Mr. Lorenzo for his service and to our table.

20/08/2025: I had dinner in a charming, quiet place. The appetizer was very tasty and plentiful, and the tagliatelle with wild fennel and varnelli mushrooms were delicate yet flavorful. I'll be back to try the main courses. Bravo!

14/08/2025: Excellent location for visiting villages, cities, and the area's many attractions. A beautifully renovated historic building. Spacious and clean room with a sofa, scented linens, a hairdryer, and a refrigerator, rare in a farmhouse. Plenty of storage space. Stunning views of the Marche hills, similar to those from the balcony in Cingoli, especially from the pool, always open—a relaxing setting with flowers, loungers, and a swing—and from the porch, where in the evenings, with the sunset light and the view, you can enjoy delicious traditional Marche dishes, expertly prepared with top-quality ingredients, including the farm's own oil, fruit, and herbs. The generous breakfast includes delicious homemade pastries and yogurt. The hosts are kind and welcoming, always available and discreet. Thank you again!

23/10/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An experience always worth it! I know Fabio and his family, who put their heart into everything they do. In their restaurant, this passion is evident in every detail: from the care taken with the ingredients to the friendly service, everything conveys a love for good food and respect for their customers. The menu is a perfect balance between tradition and creativity: dishes that reflect the local area but with a personal touch that makes them unique. Every time I go, I find something new to discover, like some of the pizzas recently added to their menu, but the quality remains consistent. Amid all this, we must not forget the skill of chef Marco, who is also part of the family. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, ideal for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. Congratulations to the entire staff, and especially to Gabriella for the passion and professionalism she puts into her work every day. A place you gladly return to, and where you always leave with a smile.

14/09/2025: This restaurant serves typical Macerata cuisine, from appetizers to desserts. Everything is delicious.

09/10/2025: A truly beautiful place. I was there for a wedding and I have to say that everything was perfect, from the service to the food, the parking, and especially the view (the terrace where the wedding was celebrated). Breathtaking! Must try.

24/09/2025: Wedding reception, beautiful location, good food Recommended

03/10/2025: 5 out of 5. Nothing to complain about... everything worth trying. An experience I highly recommend.

27/09/2025: I was here for business. The rooms were clean and the food was really, really good.

15/10/2025: Quality ingredients, expert management, and excellent, highly competent service allowed us to enjoy a satisfying and delicious dinner. Don't lose these qualities, and even if it's only a small change, you've won over new customers. Update: After two years, I still enjoy dining here, both for the excellent quality ingredients and the kindness, friendliness, and expertise of the staff. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

14/10/2025: It's not a restaurant, but a fairly basic wooden house on the outskirts of Tolentino. In the summer, you eat outside next to the road. Known for its good food, especially the tagliata (which range from €22.50 to €26). First courses range from €11.50 to €15. The food is quite good, but given the high prices, you expect something more, but it's nothing exceptional. I would have preferred (in my opinion, for hygiene reasons) a paper tablecloth instead of almost nothing at all, with a €2.50 cover charge. The side dishes are paltry for the price (€5-6). The waiters are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. For those who have never been, it's worth a visit at least once. We won't be returning.

10/11/2025: Went for lunch on Sunday. They work two shifts: from 12 to 2, and from 2 onwards. It's always busy, so it's best to book in advance. It's very crowded, and the tables are often touching, making it not suitable for those looking for a quiet Sunday lunch. The food was normal, in the sense that it didn't leave you with that something that would keep you coming back. There's no menu; the lady comes over and lists it for you. The downside is that the last stretch of road is single-lane, meaning there's rock on one side and a fence on the other to protect you from the ravine. If you encounter another car, one of you has to reverse for about 50-60 meters and around a bend. For those who've never been, it's worth going at least once. We won't be returning.

01/11/2025: We had lunch there on Sunday, October 19, after booking the week before. We struggled to find parking and left the car on a road that looked like it hadn't been used in a long time, leaving a note with our contact information on the windshield wiper (so they could call us to move the car if necessary). They had reserved a table for us outside the restaurant, in the sun; obviously, we declined and opted for a smaller one outside because it wasn't possible inside. The table was on a slope and therefore uncomfortable, and we also had to wear jackets for lunch because it wasn't exactly hot. The dishes, although modest in quantity, were good quality, and the prices were average. All in all, I didn't enjoy it; I don't like eating outside at the mercy of insects (lots of bees), the table was uncomfortable, and the location is inconvenient; I don't think I'll be back.

30/10/2025: Every year when I return from the US, it's a must-visit. In a word, quality, from the raw materials to their expert preparation. Congratulations, I hope you maintain the same quality over the years. Keep it up!

20/10/2025: Montelupone is a dive into beauty. The village square has an almost scandalous charm. It's always us. A Brancaleone army always on the prowl for trouble and food and wine thrills. Tonight we're having dinner at the Taverna dell'artista. The place is welcoming, and the young men and women running the service know the art of hospitality. They smile, and this leads to a more than positive review. The tagliata was exquisite, and the lamb was uniquely delicious. Generous portions, but I devoured everything. Clogs included. The tiramisu was fabulous, so good we all went to the kitchen and kissed each other. So to speak. Average prosecco, served correctly in its ice bucket. Discreet and enjoyable background music. What can I say? A pleasant evening. Wonderfully Italian.

21/09/2025: Top restaurant in Porto Potenza

11/09/2025: The owner and waiters were very kind, the service excellent, the eggplant and anchovy tart absolutely worth trying, the handmade tagliatelle were delicious and generously seasoned with seafood, and the fried fish was crispy and light. I tried the mussels with a tomato sauce and five slices of bread. I could have gone on. Finished with the classic sorbet. A delicious seafood meal.

19/10/2025: I came all the way from Toronto, Canada for a styled shoot collaboration and had the most wonderful experience at Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout my stay. The food, setting, and overall hospitality were exceptional - I can’t wait to return!

05/08/2025: A dream property. Everything was perfect: location, service, and food.

11/10/2025: A warm yet professional welcome. The helpfulness of Enrico and the waitress (whose name, unfortunately, I don't remember) was the icing on the cake of a delicious dinner, featuring fresh, local products prepared with experience and passion. The perfect choice to enjoy typical Adriatic dishes, prepared according to tradition but with a touch of the chef's personality! Everything was superb!

11/10/2025: Excellent experience and highly recommended restaurant. Fresh raw fish, perfectly fried, and delicious grilled fish. Impeccable service; both the waitress and the owner gave us excellent advice on what to eat and the right wine to pair.

12/10/2025: Historic place, prices slightly higher than average, here you can find typical traditional dishes, good service

05/10/2025: Excellent home style cooking of traditional regional dishes!
