Lo Smeraldo In Cingoli

The restaurant is housed in a former rural school in a small village nestled in the middle of a man-made lake on the Musone River. The view is breathtaking, leaving an unforgettable memory as dusk falls. Upon entering, we're welcomed by Claudia, the owner, into an intimate and refined setting, never overbearing. The attentive and punctual staff collaborates with her, drawing on their gazes. The kitchen is in the hands of Diego, and if you're familiar with traditional cuisine, he can update it with modern cooking techniques, making each dish unique. Upon request, you can also order a fish menu, and if you let him recommend it, you'll enter a new world that will make you forget the "sea view." The local and national wine list includes niche and never predictable selections. CONGRATULATIONS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK THANK YOU

Very nice and welcoming place, with a very good and varied menu of traditional cuisine. Their appetizers are definitely worth ordering. No rating for the rooms as we didn't use the service; we only went for lunch.

I happened upon this restaurant and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. Aside from the fact that a simple appetizer of raw ham and crescia pasta could be enough to make a full dinner, the food is truly plentiful. Not to mention the wild boar pappardella, which is incredibly delicious. Prices are average: a raw ham appetizer + 1 whole crescia pasta + 1 wild boar pappardella, and a bottle of still water. €29.50 Satisfied

I didn't stay, so I can't comment on the rooms. Excellent service, fast and always courteous. The food is excellent, but I stopped at the appetizers because they were so generous. I'll be back to try the other courses! The location was beautiful, despite the adverse weather—another reason to return!

Sunday family lunch excellent service great we will definitely be back.

A stunning location both in summer and winter. Excellent food and impeccable service.

I've been to this restaurant several times, and over the years it has fully maintained its high quality standards. I must say I've never gotten past the appetizers... but now this has become a conscious choice. They make for a hearty, enjoyable, and varied meal, as they're always different and hot, which is especially good for winter. The crescia is delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive in presenting their dishes. As always, I tell myself that next time I'll try the first courses, too, but who knows?

"Review for the restaurant only" There was a time when you could eat divinely, abundantly, and at incredible prices. Today, inflation, social and geopolitical tensions have created confusion, a detachment from reality, and I don't know what else in the minds of some people. I can understand the price—€25 per person for a fixed fish menu, where you can't choose anything anyway—okay, I can understand the quantity, halved compared to ten years ago, but I can't understand the quality, which in my opinion has dropped significantly. Sure, I've been there recently and may have been unlucky, but overall I can say that in my opinion the quality isn't good enough. I'd give it five stars for the service and the ambiance, compared to the food (one star). The table is immediately generously filled with focaccia, bread, crostini, and pizza, all seemingly pleasant but which makes you wonder how to fill your stomach, because looking at the portions of the first and second courses, I can tell they're not up to standard (grams). I can't say whether the fish is frozen or not, and there are some delicious frozen ones out there, but I know it and I'll keep it to myself. I'll just say that the seafood scent wasn't there, and the fried food was overcooked and dark, meaning the oil might need changing. I'm fine with the price, I'm fine with the quantity, but at least it should be quality, otherwise I'll eat it. Thanks.
