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 Macerata
Macerata lies between the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic, and its cooking is that of the Marche's interior: egg pasta, pork, mushrooms.
The vincisgrassi
They are the Marche's lasagne, and they are a different thing: thin egg pasta, a ragù of giblets and mixed meats, béchamel. The recipe is documented in the late eighteenth century, and in Macerata it is the feast-day dish.
The other dishes
- Ciauscolo IGP — the soft, spreadable salami;
- Rabbit in porchetta and chicken in potacchio, with rosemary and white wine;
- Frascarelli and polenta with pork ribs;
- Calcioni (piconi), the sweet-savoury cheese pastries.
The products
Lentils and cicerchia from Serrapetrona, the mela rosa apple of the Sibillini, and pecorino dei Sibillini.
In the glass
Verdicchio di Matelica DOC, which belongs to this province and is a different Verdicchio from Jesi's, and Vernaccia di Serrapetrona DOCG, a sparkling red from dried grapes.
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 The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date.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.
