Al Cantuccio In Urbino

21/02/2026: This restaurant is right in front of Urbino Cathedral. The dining room could use a general makeover, but it's still welcoming, spacious, and clean. The service staff is extremely courteous, polite, and professional; it's very noticeable, and it was a pleasure to be served by such people. Food: truly high-quality, beautifully crafted dishes. The portions, even considering the dishes at nearby tables, were adequate to satisfy our hunger; prices were average. The person who gave us the bill was also welcoming, courteous, and helpful, even giving us a small, unsolicited discount and keeping our bill square. The cafeteria prices, too, are incredibly reasonable, considering it's a touristy and frequently visited location. We'll definitely be back, and thank you for the excellent meal and service.

04/02/2026: 5 February 2026 Lunch! We liked this little cafe restaurant so much that we went back for coffee a couple of times and on our last day in Urbino, we went back for lunch! It was amazing - strozzapreti with fresh asparagus and sausage, tagliatelle in a white cinghiale (wild boar) ragù, plus sides of insalata mista and the wonderfully named pomodori ignoranti (ignorant tomatoes 😂). Apparently cucina ignorante is all about rustic, rule-free cooking - simple and unfussy. Even the bread was delicious. For dessert we had torta di crema, pinoli e rum — custard and pine nut tart with a hint of rum. It was a wonderful memorable lunch! 1 February 2026 Afternoon coffee break We stopped by this cafe restaurant for an afternoon coffee break while visiting the Palazzo Ducale. The coffee was ok but we thought that the pistachio croissant and crostata were delicious. Big thumbs up for the friendly service and good pricing!
