Restaurant

Our 15th century brick vaulted interior provides an atmospheric backdrop to the elegant charm of our restaurant.  An ancient ice chamber and lower water cisterns add further intrigue, which can also be viewed from inside the restaurant.

For those hot and balmy summer nights restaurant tables are set out in the courtyard with its incredible views rolling across the Le Marche countryside to the Adriatic coast.  Watch the sun set and the landscape transform into a canvas of bright stars and the gently lit hilltop towns.

Hidden deep underground at the back of the restaurant, stairs lead further underground to our wine cellar, brimming with delicious wines from the area waiting for you to try.

Italian favourites as well as a few more internationally styled dishes are available from the a la carte menu. Our summer lunch menu provides some lighter options.
