Gitano's Restaurant Pizzeria In Macerata

08/10/2025: As a couple, we dined, slept, and had lunch at this beautiful hotel, whose entrance is already jaw-dropping with its waterfall. Faustina welcomed us with three different trout carpaccios, each more delicious than the last. This was followed by a second course of tagliatelle with trout ragù and tagliolini with river shrimp, a dish that will leave you dreaming of it all night. The chef's skill is truly respectful of the ingredients, yet manages to infuse flavor into each dish without ever upsetting the balance of flavors. Every dish we ate was the result of traditional recipes updated with so much skill. I'm attaching just one photo of the lunch because we instantly devoured the rest of the dishes due to their aromas and truly inviting appearance. After such a meal and good wine, you can only sleep like babies in their spotlessly clean rooms. Pictured are trout with figs and balsamic vinegar, and trout tartare with lemon oil (spectacular).

07/10/2025: I was in Sefro to hike, especially to see the grotto del beato Bernardo di Quintavalle, so the location was excellent for that. The food was great (I had two meals there, in part because it was so good, but also there were no other options as it was a Sunday in October). My room was a but cold, but there were big comfy blankets that kept me plenty warm in the night. It was incredibly quiet with just the sound of the river in the background, so it made for good sleep. I would stay again if I return to hike there.
