A beautiful place located right near the entrance to the equally beautiful historic part of the village of Elcito.
At this small restaurant, you can find truly delicious focaccias filled with typical local products, which you can enjoy while sitting in the small garden next door, completely surrounded by greenery.
It wasn't the first time I stopped for a bite to eat there, and I'll definitely be back. So, if you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping for a snack and enjoying both the village and the food!

The only positive thing was the crescia, which I have to admit was good, but the disorganization was rampant: waiting in line for an hour and a half to order, and then standing outside another half hour later to be called (even though they only serve filled or plain crescia). Maybe open a window behind the building's shutters for those who just want to order a drink and not have to wait an hour and a half for even a glass of water! At 2 PM, not even a single dessert was available! The bathroom was advised against... Only tables outside and all lame... The quality of the products is OK, but the potential is being exploited to zero. It's a shame.

Well done, the Cantuccio team.
It's always a pleasure to return to these genuine and authentic places!
The crescia, the cured meats, the wild herbs, the cheeses—everything is truly delicious.
Even though it's the only restaurant in the Borgo di Elcito, the line moves quickly and there are tables available for outdoor dining.
They also have a website for online purchases!
See you soon! ❤️

A small restaurant, inside you'll find any member of the family who runs it, ready to welcome you with serenity and friendliness.
There's a counter where you can order food, which you can then enjoy at one of the tables set up in the restaurant's garden, immersed in the peace and tranquility that a mountain village like Elcito can offer.
The menu offers several options for your sandwich, focaccia, or crescenza, made with fresh, local products (something on the attached menu may not be available at the moment, as their offerings are based on availability). Absolutely inviting prices.
To enrich the experience, you can take a tour of the village, known as the "Little Tibet of the Marche," and channel all the positive energy that only the mountains can provide.
Furthermore, the famous Canfaito beech forest is 4 km away.

Authentic, spartan, welcoming. The best crescia I've ever eaten. Worth the trip.

In Elcito, time seems to have stood still; it's a place where you can only feel peace, serenity, and silence. This tiny restaurant is an oasis in the desert where you'll find kindness, hospitality, and delicious food!

An excellent restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Cresce with cured meats or cheeses. The staff is always very cheerful and courteous. The Cresce are delicious and flavorful. They pair well with a beer. There are tables available for customers. Please keep the place clean. Use the designated bins for recycling. I recommend arriving very early to avoid the line. Rating: 10

I'm a mountain lover, so my opinion is very biased.
A small restaurant with quality food and an excellent selection: crescia, cured meats, vegetables, cheeses, and desserts.
Everything is authentic, with a welcoming atmosphere tailored to tourists, direct and simple, with kindness and professionalism.
Excellent value for money, rustic style and surrounded by nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, in the rhythm of a timeless place...
