Serendipity, RistoRustico & Piscina In Cantiano

12/02/2025: We should shout it to the world that at Martinelli's you eat DADDIO! My colleague Giulia pointed it out to me and I came from Urbino on purpose. It was worth it!!! We eat very well. Typical and at the highest levels. Very good Maddalena, competent and friendly, she was truly the frontman of the place, perfect. The thing that annoyed me the most??? the coratella. DA SCREAM and beyond. The poorest, most mistreated dish (add other negative terms as you like) made it become S P E C T A C O L A R E.

11/02/2025: If you are looking for a quiet place to taste the specialties of the Marche Apennines, know that you couldn't choose better. The selection of raw materials of the best quality and the shortest possible supply chain (so much so that some foods such as sausages and fresh pasta are self-produced) enhance the local environment which in itself is already an excellent setting. Another intrinsic characteristic of this restaurant is the welcome. It is often really difficult to understand whether the customers are happier to have come here, or the waiters who seem to have always known the customers even if they are there for the first time. Everyone here feels at home because the environment is genuine, like their products. Pets are also welcome. The abundance of dishes is famous. If you came without hunger, you are in the wrong place. The starters normally offer a selection of self-produced cold cuts, local cheeses, caramelized onion, coratella, etc... The first courses include fresh pasta (often egg-based, as per the Marche tradition), seasoned with some sauces (subject to availability) all year round (such as roe deer sauce, wild boar sauce, cheese and pepper sauce, etc ...), and some other products available only in certain seasons (such as mushrooms based on the month in which they are available, or snails in summer, etc etc ...). The second courses are meat-based such as their famous Florentine steaks, tagliatelle, mixed grills etc... The offer also includes vegetable-based side dishes or salads such as potato or radicchio side dishes. The lunch ends by offering the patrons a decent choice of desserts, some of which, like the tiramisu, I can confidently say are produced on site. Do you want a coffee after lunch? No problem, just move to the entrance where the bar area is. Here too there is a proposal of some coffee killers produced by them such as the liquorice liqueur or the banana one. And in the summer I suggest their ice creams. And then, when you are at the counter in front of the checkout, convinced that you simply want to pay and go away... How will you resist the temptation of the products displayed at the counters at the entrance? (If you succeed, please let me know how you did it, because unfortunately after so many years I still can't resist their temptations). You will find delicious sausages they produce, and cheeses, biscuits and honey from local companies, some with the Martinelli brand on them. In short... It is strongly not recommended... don't go there!
