La Contrada In Tolentino

26/10/2025: Located in the hills of Civitanova, with a beautiful view of the upper town and the vineyards. The restaurant offers a decent selection of dishes with interesting pairings: the tartare was tender, with a great contrast between the lettuce and hazelnuts; the mezzelune (mezzelune) stuffed with ciauscolo and herb sauce were delicate and brought out the filling; the beef tagliata with lard and radicchio was succulent, and paired with the baked potato with yogurt sauce, it was the perfect combination; finally, the tiramisu was a perfect balance between the sweetness of the cream and the coffee. Regarding the service, there was a small hiccup with the main courses; one dish arrived several minutes after the others, but overall, I appreciated it because the waiters were friendly. Finally, I also appreciated the quality-price ratio; I found it to be fair.

26/10/2025: Nestled in the middle of a vineyard, this rustic/minimalist inn offers a selection of dishes that are appropriately refined, with undeniable quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. They also have a full menu, all featuring porcini mushrooms. It's a shame the wait for the sliced ​​beef I ordered was so long, compared to the arrival of the other main courses. The approximate cost for an appetizer, a main course, and a side dish for two people, plus a first course and dessert each, water, and coffee, was €50.
