In 1990, Mauro Uliassi decided to give up his career as a teacher in order to open this seaside restaurant. Focusing on seafood, his cuisine expresses the flavors of the Adriatic Riviera in dishes like smoked spaghetti with clams and grilled cherry tomatoes, and roasted baby cuttlefish with sea urchin and herbs. Mauro also has a fondness for the Marche’s hilly outback; in autumn he serves pigeon and grouse, and even offers a tasting menu of local game. Mauro’s sister Catia Uliassi discreetly runs the service.
