Il Gelso In Fabriano

26/12/2025: A decidedly rustic restaurant, facing the sea. However, the food was pleasant, the service was prompt, and the quality/price ratio was excellent (though I'm not sure if the prices and service are similar in high season). In our case: 2 people, water, wine (1/2 liter, house wine but decent), a portion of mussels (enough for two), 2 tagliolini with lobster (abundant, excellent pasta, decent lobster and other shellfish sauce), a fried fish platter (well-made and more than enough for two), and 2 coffees (+ a complimentary liqueur on the house) for €60.

18/12/2025: Wonderful seafront trattoria in Montemarciano! My dad and I ate two hot and cold appetizers, a first course for two, a grilled dish, a fried dish, a liter of white wine, a liter of water, two sorbets, two coffees, complimentary digestives, for €35 each! One might think the food isn't good, but the restaurant is packed on a Wednesday lunchtime in December, and it's confirmed that every day is the same story. This implies that the food is good, and it's not just a question of price! If someone eats at a beachfront restaurant in the summer and doesn't mind here, let's just say they'd be spoiled! The service is also wonderful.
