A beach shack on the Marche coast that became one of Italy's very best tables, Mauro Uliassi cooking the Adriatic in front of him and game from the hills behind.

I The house

A shack that became one of the best

Uliassi stands on the beach at Senigallia, on the Adriatic coast of the Marche, a former seaside shack that Mauro Uliassi turned into one of Italy's very best tables. The sea is a few steps away, and it shows in everything.

It is ambition rooted entirely in one stretch of coast, a great restaurant that still feels like the beach it grew from.

II The cooking

Sea, smoke and game

Seafood of startling freshness, smoke and char used with a hunter's confidence, and wild game when the season turns inland. A menu that follows the coast and the calendar rather than a fixed idea of fine dining.

Book well ahead; the room is small and the reputation is not.

Ambition rooted entirely in one stretch of coast.

The reading

One of Italy's best kitchens that never left its beach. A long summer lunch by the Adriatic.
