Osteria Palazzo Barberini In Senigallia

12/07/2026: An excellent restaurant that I highly recommend. It enjoys a prime location in Ancona's oldest neighborhood (hence the name Guasco) with outdoor seating in Piazza San Francesco, particularly charming, especially at sunset. We were greeted warmly and friendly. The dinner featured incredibly fresh seafood, creatively prepared without overpowering its authentic flavor. A good selection of wines (almost all local). And the price was reasonable for the quality of the food. Almost all tables were occupied, but the service was extremely efficient. We'll definitely be back.

12/07/2026: We ate here two out of the three nights we stayed in Ancona. Away from the main restaurant quarter, this is a great spot in the old town. The menu is small but each dish we had was very well balanced and flavoursome, and the selection of wines excellent. If drinking by the glass, ask what is available as we found there to be more options than shown on the menu. Food: mussels as part of the apperitivo menu.. delicious. Pastas... two delightful dishes... Secondi... turbot, and duck breast. I suspect the menu changes seasonally. All excellent. Some other reviews state that the portions are small..well, yes, compared to the sadly typically large offerings you get from more mainstream places...but the food here is better! We shared dishes (as we often do) and left fully satiated. Note.. no pizzas (there's a good pizzeria next door). Bottom line: fine food, good selection of wines. Helpful staff. Recommended.
