Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Ancona
Ancona is a port, and its most important dish is a soup you count: thirteen kinds of fish, one for each guest by tradition.
The brodetto
Brodetto all'anconetana calls for thirteen different fish, vinegar and no tomato paste. Every Adriatic port has its own — San Benedetto makes it with tomato, Fano with paste — and here the difference is stated.
The dishes
- Stockfish alla anconetana — with potato, tomato, anchovy and rosemary, cooked for hours;
- Moscioli di Portonovo, the wild mussels of the Conero and a Slow Food presidium: eaten gratinated or in a pan, and only in season;
- Olive all'ascolana and fritto misto, which in the Marche is sweet and savoury together;
- Vincisgrassi, the rich layered lasagne of the Marche.
In the glass
Rosso Conero DOC — Montepulciano from the slopes of the mountain — and Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC in white, both made in this province.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
