La Taverna dell'Artista In Montelupone

We visited this restaurant with friends (it's actually a house with several rooms) in the historic center of Montelupone. Their specialties are risottos, along with other typical dishes from the Marche region. Friendly staff, excellent value.

Everything was delicious, especially the classic risotto with artichokes, bacon, and herbs. The staff was very friendly, and the owner was very professional in handling our request to split the bill.

Welcoming atmosphere Friendly and helpful staff Excellent food!

Italian description first, followed by the English translation La Taverna dell'Artista deserves excellent ratings thanks to its Monte Lupone artichoke menu. The staff was kind and helpful, so if you want to visit a well-preserved medieval village and dine with typical local products, you're in the right place. The Mystery Tour is the icing on the cake of an evening to remember. La Taverna dell'Artista deserves excellent ratings thanks to its Monte Lupone artichoke menu.

Excellent food, at a fair price. We waited a bit, but the manager made it clear that rushing is not a good idea at the table. A great experience.

What can I say, Leonardo and Najim are fantastic.

A perfect restaurant like few others these days. The menu is so varied and extensive, you'd have to go once a week to sample all their delicacies. For our first visit, we tried the risottos, the tagliata with lard and grilled potatoes, and the Caprese tart with artisanal vanilla ice cream (a special mention, since vanilla ice cream is incredibly rare these days, despite being the best ever). Everything was amazing, and given the quality and quantity of the dishes, we were pleasantly surprised to spend less than €40 each. Top spot!

Excellent. Honorable mention for the risottos.

"The Artist's Tavern is a treasure chest hiding enchanting treasures." In the center of Montelupone, a village that perfectly preserves its medieval origins and is meticulously cared for by its residents, there is a restaurant (also a B&B, Escape Room, and gourmet shop) run by Leonardo, a host and multifaceted artist of exceptional creativity mixed with pragmatism. Specializing in risottos, we tried three types: beetroot and Taleggio DOP; saffron, cod, and chives; and black truffle and porcini mushrooms. All truly excellent!!! We were also impressed by the appetizer, a generous selection of local cured meats and typical fried foods from the Marche region. We were hosted in a splendid frescoed room, but each room holds surprises that evoke the ancient history of those who inhabited those spaces. The menu is extensive, and we will definitely return to try new dishes, preceded by a game session with a mysterious backstory in the Escape Room. Last but not least, a word of praise goes to the kind and professional staff.

Highly recommended! A place you absolutely must try and enjoy; we ate wonderfully and introduced our guests to the best of Marche cuisine. Plus, the risottos are fantastic and unique! The owner, Leonardo, is a veritable whirlwind of ideas and suggestions: we'll be back to try the escape room.
