La Vecchia Cantina, Italia In Pesaro

05/07/2024: We found this place by chance on the internet given the good reviews, as we were here in Mondavio passing through. It was an unexpected surprise. We were lucky enough to have the chef recommend various typical alternatives and I must say all the dishes amazed us, dishes with quality raw materials and most of the neighboring places. Piadina with omelette and amazing truffle. The Bolagna cutlet was the most tender I have ever eaten with very crunchy breading on the outside, unique! Everyone is kind and the owners are friendly and approachable. Very honest value for money for those who know it! Compliments

28/06/2024: Just finished a sumptuous lunch here: beautifully located in a floral garden beneath an enormous locust tree and singing blackbirds with a lovely view that reached the sea in the distance. Wonderful dishes that tasted divine. 5 stars from us all. Especially myself, being the only gluten intolerant/vegan. No problem for the amazing chef, whom we were told by his lovely wife ran a vegan restaurant in Amsterdam previously. Cuisine was sympathetic to seasonal produce, made with love, full flavour yet simple and ‘clean’. I had fiore di zucche fried in a light rice flour batter on a bed of aubergine cream finished with wild herbs, followed by gnocchi di patate in crema di zucchine topped with mint and mixed seeds. All vegan and gluten free. Although this is a traditional trattoria so everyone would be happy here. The service was super friendly, kind and prompt. Highly recommended. Complimenti allo Chef! Grazie mille!
