We went for lunch as a family, and when we arrived at the table, the appetizers were already served—I didn 't remember it being that way. Cured meats (ham, salami, loin), assorted cheeses, and giardiniera: all good, with the option of seconds, although I would have preferred the typical local crescia as a side dish. Then the owner spoke to us about the first courses, without presenting a menu. We chose a trio: very good duck gnocchi, well-made and light porcini mushroom passatelli, while the tagliatelle with ragù and peas didn 't convince me, too disjointed. We then ordered grilled meat and side dishes: good, but without anything that made me say, I 'd go back just for this. No desserts, just two coffees and a liter of house red wine. The final bill was over €30 per person, which I found quite high for the amount we ate. But beyond the price, what left me most perplexed was the lack of a menu with clear prices: in 2026, it 's hard to order without knowing how much you 'll spend. It 's a shame, because returning to a place tied to memories, also famous for its cappelletti in brodo, could have been an opportunity to return more often. Overall, the food is good, but I wouldn 't go back this way.

The dishes taste of family Sundays, of recipes passed down through the generations, and of expert hands that cook with heart even before technique. Every bite tells a simple, authentic, and soulful story. The service is friendly, never intrusive, like being a guest in the home of someone who truly enjoys having you there. You leave full, happy, and with a rare feeling: that of having eaten something that nourishes not only the stomach, but also the heart.

It was run by three sisters. The food was excellent. You'd sit at the table and they'd bring you whole wheels of cheese, all kinds of cured meats, and you could order whatever you wanted. The first and second courses were excellent, so you'd leave the table satisfied. Now the appetizers have been scaled down. We were there last week. The appetizers were already on our table: a plate with three types of cheese and jams, and another with various cured meats. We ordered the cappelletti in broth, but the lemon flavor—I think it was lemon—overpowered all the flavors. The gnocchi with duck were a bit bland. The mutton and the sliced ​​beef were delicious. The desserts were nothing special. Unfortunately, it's changed a bit. It used to be a regular stop when we returned to Urbino. Now it's a bit different.
