Locanda Cantalupo In Montefano

I passed by yesterday by chance, after having visited a medieval village nearby. It was 1.40pm when I entered, welcomed by a young man, to whom I immediately told him that I would have a dessert. He replied: that there shouldn't be any problem, but he had to ask permission from the boss, who would have had a completely different opinion. The tables at the entrance, both on the left, right and centre, were all empty, several people on the veranda, so it wouldn't have closed immediately. I have managed restaurants, even starred ones, we have never refused anyone, even for a salad. Under no circumstances should we underestimate a customer. I had already been to eat there, with my family a week ago and not for the first time, but certainly the last one. Attached only to money, lack of hospitality and welcome. Bows and smiles, few, that they give you when you enter, it's all linked to a business. Too bad!! They tend to make gourmet cuisine, but perhaps only on the plate, forgetting everything else, which begins when the customer sets foot in the restaurant, creating a cordial atmosphere of complicity, of which they are not capable.

We ate very well, excellent food, varied according to taste, refined and seasonal dishes. Excellent service and incredible availability. Location among the best in the area.

Nice place, good lunch, attentive service. The dishes are traditional with some peculiarities. The little guitars with artichokes are very good, the fried lamb is excellent. The price is also excellent. Must try.

Welcoming atmosphere and very refined typical cuisine

We returned to this restaurant for the second time. A Sunday lunch. The location is wonderful, we are among the hills of the Marche region immediately after Montefano. I took this opportunity to eat there for the second time, to enjoy their cuisine. I speak from personal taste: The dishes for what they are also cost too much. My chicken in putacchio was not cooked well it was pinkish and slimy maybe someone likes it that way or maybe it depends on the chicken or the cooking. The tortelloni with ricotta and fighi seasoned with bacon resulted in a slightly loose filling and too much bacon (personal taste). We paid 35 euros each.

Fantastic Valentine's evening, congratulations to the staff and especially to the chef for both the food and the song.

Excellent dishes with quality raw materials. The products are almost entirely local. The self-produced bread, like the rest, is also very good. Vast innovative choices for all tastes.

Excellent experience in this inn, kind, courteous and professional staff, high quality food, they suggested an excellent wine to accompany the dishes. Highly recommended, fair price

Christmas lunch with ordinary dishes and long waiting times. Table service not very organised.

Classica casa di campagna, tenuta molto bene e arredata in stile rustico, con una bellissima veranda (chiusa e riscaldata) che consente una magnifica vista sulle campagne circostanti. La carne era buonissima (sia la battuta e il carpaccio di vitello di antipasto, sia la picanha e l’asado di secondo, mentre chi ha assaggiato la tagliata ha detto che era troppo “nodosa”), invece i primi e i dolci erano, a mio avviso, normali, niente di che insomma. Conto nella norma, servizio veloce e professionale.
