Osteria Via Leopardi In Recanati

28/10/2025: "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.

16/10/2025: We had a wonderful meal here yesterday. The dishes were presented with great care and passion, and we enjoyed them with gusto. The wines were delicious. The food here is truly delicious. And not just the attention paid to the food, but also to our original Dutch Berlina...a truly special experience!
