I migliori ristoranti in Marche

08/01/2026: 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.

01/12/2025: 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 😘

21/12/2025: Welcoming place, kind, polite and helpful staff, the food is truly excellent, starting from the house appetizers, excellent pizza among the many choices on the menu... We will definitely be back!

21/11/2025: Great quiet place friendly staff good food good pizza excellent service

14/01/2026: I asked to add caramel to my iced latte, even if it cost extra. The barista replied that she couldn't do it because "the recipes are fixed and can't be changed." Honestly, it makes no sense. It's normal to customize a coffee in any bar, especially if the customer pays more. Here, however, there's total inflexibility, no valid explanations, and an unhelpful attitude. If you can't even add caramel to a coffee, maybe the problem isn't the recipe but the service. I won't be back.

10/01/2026: Cappucino was good. Staff, friendly.

28/10/2025: Review – October 28, 2025 Unfortunately, an experience not to be repeated. The restaurant looks very nice: a refined, elegant atmosphere, and all the makings for a pleasant dinner… but unfortunately, things went differently. Nothing to complain about the service, which was kind and attentive, but the food was disappointing in every way. We ordered a portion of Ascoli olives, an Amatriciana, a Norcina, a sliced ​​steak to share, a bottle of water, and a Coke. The Ascoli olives were inedible (and calling them that is almost a compliment). The meat used for the olives was of terrible quality—at that point, I thought, if the meat used for the olives tasted like that, I'd better not imagine the rest… The Norcina is a safe bet, neither good nor bad. The Amatriciana, on the other hand, doesn't even deserve its name: guanciale (pork cheek) that isn't really guanciale (pork cheek) and an excessive amount of pepper (and that's coming from someone who really loves pepper!). For the sliced ​​steak, specifically arugula and parmesan, we'd asked for it to be rare: it arrived well done, tough to cut, and with an unpleasant odor. I refused to try it, my companion tried a bite, and we left it there. We paid the bill anyway (we only pointed out the "fact" after paying)—honestly, the only positive aspect, given that the price was reasonable. In summary: beautiful location, friendly service, but the food quality definitely needs updating.

11/09/2025: We ate well, excellent service, fair price, ample parking.

11/07/2025: the barmaid is friendly and professional

04/12/2025: They didn't let me use the shower. It was bad and made me very sad. Even though they pretend to be Madonnas and throw the cross at themselves and are proud of their papacy, unfortunately they don't know Jesus Christ and his teachings and therefore don't apply them. May the Good Lord have mercy on them and deliver them from darkness!

20/09/2025: The pizza is terrible. Not tasty. I don't recommend it.

20/11/2025: My girlfriend got food poisoning from the Funghi pizza. Not recommended!!!

10/10/2025: Good pizzeria with a wide selection of pizzas by the slice, fast service.

23/08/2025: How to end the evening? A nice drink and a chat. As for the drink, I have nothing to say...I was sure, it's not my first time there. As for a chat with friends? Maybe yesterday wasn't the right night! There was a certain rush to TAKE AWAY the glass as soon as it was empty and a rather unpleasant, insistent supervision of the table. We could have had a second round of drinks, but it was so "disturbing" that we preferred to leave. I should point out that the table wasn't needed, since we were sitting inside the restaurant and there were other free tables.

14/08/2025: The cocktails are very, very good, so much so that we've returned several times. However, the waitress's lack of empathy (a smile every now and then to ten customers enjoying full aperitivos, which bring in money and are the ONLY table, doesn't hurt) and the fact that you can't use the chairs provided when multiple tables are pushed together, only uncomfortable beanbags, is truly discouraging. The explanation was unconvincing.

28/06/2025: I ate the pincarelli alla norma. Really very good

09/12/2025: The best pizza I've ever eaten 😌

24/08/2025: Slow service, 20 minutes for one piece! Hire staff and speed up, thanks.

12/01/2026: I stopped at this restaurant because we were on our way home, we wanted something quiet and good, my girlfriend and I tried American dishes in Italy, everything delicious to die for, sure the prices are high, but I have to say I was very satisfied.

31/12/2025: We arrived to order a plain sandwich, nothing special, a double cheeseburger without cucumbers, lettuce, or onions. Should we take it back? The sandwich has tomato, lettuce, onion, and cucumbers, and NO SAUCES!! Also, the fries have absolutely no salt. We also had to wait a really long time, and even those who arrived after us were served immediately. I'm really disappointed. I understand it's New Year's Eve, and maybe things can get a little wrong... but COMPLETELY everything was wrong!!

23/02/2026: We were four families for dinner on Saturday. The location was very nice and well-kept, located opposite the San Benedetto pier, not far from the center. It's ideal for families who want to spend an evening together and then take a quiet stroll! We ordered the fish menu, as recommended by the wait staff, as it's a seaside area (five courses: appetizer, first course, and second course). The first course, seafood mezze maniche, arrived cold, tasteless, and dry. The second course, monkfish, was also dry and very rubbery! Regarding the pizza menu, it was good, but a bit pricey (€25 for a Margherita pizza and a paltry fried fish with a drink). Otherwise, I repeat, the atmosphere was very nice. It's like having a Ferrari parked outside your house, but not knowing how to drive it. We're sorry, but the evening didn't go as we expected!

01/10/2025: Very welcoming place, knowledgeable, efficient, and pleasant staff, excellent food. Highly recommended.
