Osteria Zanchetti In Fossombrone

A small restaurant (no more than 10 tables) with a dedicated focus on high food quality, innovative dishes, phantastic taste and local sourcing. Tied into the world of slow food. This is a gem whenever there was one. Very friendly atmosphere, relaxed eating and the feeling of a successful mix between new approaches (raw vegetables with three kind of olive oils) and traditional dishes (e.g. gnocchetti and pasta), full and rich taste of the meat probably due to slow cooking where every spoonful makes you sigh with pleasure. There are just plain wonderful dishes, and some more experimental ones (e.g. New York to Beijing) - but don't hesitate, just go there and enjoy. Prices are moderate when compared to what you get. And to help you decipher the menu: left is antipasti, right is 4 primi and 3 secondi piatti plus vegetables (which are highly recommended). Big selection of very local to Italian wines. There is a specific menu for dolci and some nice coffee surprises.

I was today with my daughter and my wife and I can without a shadow of a doubt recommend cappelletti cacio e pepe for everything else, the environment and service are praiseworthy!!!

Questa osteria è assolutamente candidabile alla stella Michelin. Lo chef di lungo corso gioca con emulsioni, consistenze ed abbinamenti con grande savoir faire. Il territorio domina sulle materie prime in maniera indiscutibile e sorprende ad ogni portata. Lista vini di livello con ampia gamma di vermut dedicata ai dolci. Conto, ancora, perfettamente in linea con le prestazioni. Complimenti chef!

Pastas were excellent (we had the traditional must have of the region and the ossobuko). So was the snail barley starter. Good value for money! €37 for a tasting menu and they did not scrimp on portions - it looked like we received full portions of everything ala carte.

I visited the tavern out of season on a Monday in March. The first impression seems good to me despite the small size of the restaurant located within the charming village of Fossombrone. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted with professionalism and courtesy by the staff. The dinner continued only for the better, from course to course, going from the first course to the second course to dessert (in the photo). We were super satisfied with both the dinner and the service. The bill was honest and balanced. Definitely worth trying.

We had dinner at this place at the end of February. The menu is essential but in line with the characteristics of this restaurant which has few seats but which focuses on the quality of its dishes. We tasted the appetizers and then the cappelletti to finish with the chestnut semifreddo (one of the best desserts I have ever eaten). All nothing short of delicious. The service is kind and helpful, particularly appreciated was the chef who came to the table at the end of the meal to offer us a chat (given the Carnival period). We will absolutely return to this restaurant, which is like a hidden pearl within the walls of Fossombrone.

Nice experience..... definitely to be repeated

Outstanding place - lovely, intimate, tasteful setting. Food and wines are delicious and prices very fair. Highly recommended!

I rarely give 5 stars but the experience, the treatment received and the incredible attention to every detail (both in the refinement of the menu and in the welcome) guaranteed the perfect execution of the evening... even mine, which I found myself having dinner alone, after a day spent traveling for work, at the end of which I thought it best to select this pearl of a tavern (exactly the type that all those belonging to the category should be!) to give myself some well-deserved relaxation and pampering for the palate; selection of the place purely based on the reviews and photos that inspired me but the reality, in this case, went even beyond expectations and will leave me with the pleasant memory of a dinner where time and even thoughts stopped!!

Nel pieno centro di Fossombrone in cima a una viuzza si trova questa carinissima osteria. L'ambiente è piccolo e accogliente, ideale per chi vuole un posto tranquillo. Il menù propone piatti con ingredienti tipici del territorio che vanno dalla carne al pesce, sapientemente presentati all'occhio del cliente. Un plauso allo chef che alla fine del pranzo ci ha omaggiato con un carillon di legno pieno di cioccolatini.
