California In Mondolfo

12/08/2024: Very pleasant discovery in the upper part of Fossombrone. The climb on foot was amply rewarded. Tables in the garden with a terrace overlooking the village, the atmosphere is already pleasant. It's difficult to recommend the dishes, given that they change almost daily from what I understand, a restaurant that prefers to focus on a few choices on the menu based on seasonality done well. In any case, the food was delicious and the cocktails were very good and refreshing (given the heat, we preferred it to a very extensive wine list.) Cuisine with excellent local ingredients with some fusion reinterpretations, we were struck by the very clever use of aromatic herbs taken from the garden, the sin was probably not having space for dessert. Try lasagna with sausage and peppers, gnocchi with pesto, ricotta, cherry tomatoes and toasted pine nuts, skewers. Generous portions, honest bill (first courses €11, second courses €14, starters €8). Excellent service, plus excellent local bitters offered (in abundance) after paying. It's not a place to eat in a hurry, give them time and enjoy the terrace.

10/08/2024: A wonderful place with a magical atmosphere. The menu is short, but thanks to this the food is fresh and excellent. A very large selection of wines, also by glass. You can sit and enjoy the meal and views all evening long. Very nice and helpful people serve guests. I highly recommend this place.
