Ristorante La Canonica In Pesaro

"La Canonica is a magical culinary experience! The restaurant is a temple of true cuisine, with an elegant setting and impeccable service. The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. For this experience, we opted for meat dishes (cooked and presented to perfection), but they also offer fish dishes. The sommelier recommended a perfect red wine to accompany the dishes. The side dishes were creative and delicious, and last but not least, the dessert is a true work of art. Very fair prices, excellent portions, and high-quality ingredients. We left very, very satisfied. Highly recommended

We had lunch at La Canonica and, despite a few inaccuracies and service hiccups, we had a truly wonderful time. The food is the highlight: the porchetta rabbit and the braised cheek were excellent, with the added bonus of being served with side dishes as a single course. The wine selection is also good. What makes the place special is the management: the owner and her son put their heart and soul into it, creating a lively and friendly, almost surreal atmosphere among diners who have never met before. A word of advice to the managers: pay attention to detail and timing, because not all customers are willing to overlook unexpected events attracted by your passion. Kudos to you for your hard work!

Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent quality food.

La Canonica – Castel di Mezzo (Pesaro) In the secluded village of Castel di Mezzo, La Canonica is a restaurant with a refined and pleasantly rustic atmosphere, complete with a fireplace, exposed beams, and an outdoor seating area ideal for the summer. The welcome was immediately warm, with a family atmosphere that puts you at ease. The menu, recently changed since the holidays and still in its infancy, is quite limited but offers inviting and unusual dishes, offering freshly prepared meat and fish dishes. The handmade tagliatelle with sole sauce were excellent, with a simple yet elegant presentation. Among the main courses, we tried the red mullet with crumbled taralli, swordfish puttanesca, and calamari Catalan-style, as well as a couple of side dishes—dishes that showcased the raw ingredients without seeking gourmet flair, but rather were concrete and essential. The sweet finish is worthy of the rest: lemon cream curd with extra virgin olive oil, a true house classic, hazelnut gelato with moretta, and a delicious brownie with homemade gelato. All finished with a good coffee. Perhaps we were also lucky to be there on a cold day with little attendance, so we were able to chat with the owner and chef, who shared a few kitchen secrets with us, and it was an even more interesting moment. The summer effect with outdoor seating is also worth trying.

Nassi, the owner and chef, was very kind and helpful, along with her entire staff. There were about a dozen of us for Sunday lunch. She was able to accommodate the needs of both adults and children, advising us on how to best organize the menu. Even the table settings were carefully designed to facilitate interaction with the people at our table, a gesture that was greatly appreciated. For dessert, I asked if she could make a chocolate cake, and of course she said no problem; it was truly delicious. She took care of everything, pampered us, and even provided a candle since we forgot. Her advice on choosing a bottle of wine to accompany dessert was also excellent. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere, accompanied by some appropriate music playing in the background. We will definitely be back. Gluten-free dishes are also available! Thank you so much again, Nassi and your staff 😘

Excellent food in a charming setting. If I had to find a criticism, it would be that there is not much choice for vegetarians, but the ricotta and spinach ravioli are simply divine.

Great food and very friendly staff.
