"Very kind and friendly staff, offering both services and useful information. Clean and comfortable, with the very best home made kitchen representing Le Marche region and its culture. Attractive prices for good food. Great experience, I recommend it."

*****************

"Wonderful home made pastas, nice friendly environment, excellent local wines (especially the white Verdicchio della casa), good marchigiano fair. We recommend the gnocchi verdi with spicy tomato sauce, the tagliolini with porcini, the ravioli with tartufo. The family is very hospitable, the portions are large and you must end the meal with a 'Da Maria' amaro."

*****************

"The owners doesn't speak English but they have a menu in English. The foor is very good and the prices are reasonable."

"I went to this seemingly nondescript osteria in a small, picturesque village on a hilltop above San Vittore-Frassasi on my birthday in August. The meal was outstanding. In a group of 7 we had 4 "primi" and 3 "secondi" and shared amongst each other. For the first courses we had passatelli with fossa ("buried") cheese, truffle tagliatelle, wild boar pappardelle and ravioli with a butter sauce. All the pastas were exquisite,and the sauces delicate and tasty. Loved especially the fossa cheese pasta. The second plates were equally good. The duck was flavourful and tender. The veal and beef were superb, as were the "contorni" (roast potatoes, zucchini). The origins of the meat were provided and the freshness was obvious. Had no room for desert.
The service was excellent -- our waiter spoke fluent English -- and Maria came out to make sure everything was to our liking. Housewines (local Marches) were excellent."
