Nostrano – Hands down the best restaurant in Pesaro. One star Michelin and it was evident from the service and the extras that it was worthy of the Michelin star. Modern simple interior with plenty of space for the guests. I had a delicious suckling pig and Joanne had the amberjack.
’59 Restaurant – Restaurant located in the Excelsior Hotel in Pesaro. It was surprisingly good. There were families with children in the restaurant that night, but that just added some entertainment. The food was delicious and definitely worth a second visit.
Ristorantino Primasecca – In Fano. Special seafood restaurant south of Fano and on the beach. We had a whole branzino which was delicious, but way too much food because we split a pasta as a starter. Delightful walk on the beach after lunch. Very memorable.
Alta Marea Ristorante – Our first day in Pesaro in 2017. Nice restaurant down the street for the Excelsior. We ate outside and had a large mixed fried seafood platter and a plate of the house ravioli, which really hit the spot after a day of traveling.
Andreina – In Loreto (near Recanati). Another Michilin star restaurant and we were not disappointed. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. I started with the capriolo, which is deer meat that was very tender and continued to cook via a heated plate. Joanne had a starer called -The shrimp runs after the hare, which was a shrimp and rabbit dish artfully prepared. Main courses were Rombo (white fish) and Guinea Fowl.
La Cantina Di Ale – Hotel Palazzo Bello in Recanati – Wonderful pizza bianca and aperitif before dinner at Andreina.
La Ginestra – In Recanati – small local restaurant and the only piatto memorable was the roasted peppers!
Osteria La Guercia – In Pesaro, local cuisine, but nothing memorable other then tight seating and a lackluster menu.
Il Bacio – in Gradara right outside the castle. We had a tranquil lovely lunch in an outdoor courtyard. The food was simple, but good.
