Eating Out - Essen & Trinken - Uit Het Eten
Whether your love is fish or meat, you will find in the Le Marche region an incredible number of good places to eat. For good wines to accompany your meat or fish meal there are plenty of D.D.O.C. wines to suit your palate; even the house wines are excellent and good value.
The province of Pesaro and Urbino, in which Casa Rosa is situated, is probably the richest, gastronomically, in the Region. Fano, one of the largest fishing ports on the Adriatic coast, is a mecca for those who love to eat fish. The covered fish market, held daily in the centre of the town, is superb with some 12 fishmongers displaying an amazing selection of fish.
The public and restaurateurs jostle side by side to buy fish caught that very morning. Fish brought into the port of Fano will also find its way to top restaurants in Milan, Bologna and Rome, to be eaten that same evening. A speciality of the Le Marche stretch of Adriatic coastline is 'brodetto' (wonderful fish soup)!
Lovers of meat will be spoilt because Le Marche is famous for its roast meat dishes. Pasta and risotto dishes are to be found on most restaurant menus, and you can eat wonderful pizza everywhere.
Truffles (Tartufo), black and white, can also be found in most of the higher class restaurants. Nearby Acqualagna and St. Angelo in Vado are the truffle (Tartufo) centres of Italy. Acqualagna has a Truffle Fair during the last weekend of October and first three weekends in November; well worth a visit!
Good quality trattorias and restaurants are to be found in every town and village. We continue to be amazed by our guests at Casa Rosa who continue to discover new restaurants to add to our long standing favourites. There are about 20 or so restaurants etc. within a 15 minute drive from Casa Rosa.
