9 restaurants and shops not to be missed – Italian Cuisine


Typical trattorias, restaurants overlooking the sea and shops where you can buy some gastronomic souvenirs on the Conero and surroundings

The long flat line of the Adriatic coast suddenly stops due to the reaching of a green mountain on the sea. It is the Conero, which contains in a limited space the most beautiful things the Marche has to offer: the blue sea and a green natural park, ancient villages and rolling hills, harbors, churches and castles, vineyards and crops alongside the urban charm of the capital , Ancona: the same name of the city, which in Greek means "elbow", refers to the shape of the promontory on which it stands.

So on the table at the restaurant you can taste land and sea specialties: brodetto and stocco all'anconetana, vincisgrassi, crescia and salami, potacchio meat is part of a centuries-old tradition that brings together the flavors of a rich and generous territory. And then fresh fish and seafood: you should definitely try the moscioli, the prized wild mussels from Portonovo. All this gives life to a rich and diversified offer: the ancient dishes and the innovative proposals can be tasted in the “pieds dans l´eau” restaurants directly on the beach, in the country trattorias or in the farmhouses on the soft hills. Not forgetting a delicious souvenir to take home.

Restaurants with or without a tablecloth? Now comes the one where you choose – Italian Cuisine


To quell the age-old debate from Euthalia, province of Cuneo, in order not to take sides they leave the choice to the guests.

The tablecloths they have been kidnapped, but few ask for their return. Hardly anyone would be willing to pay the ransom. in starred restaurants survive barely, Nordic fashion prevailed, nebistros hold paper placemats as a butcher, in street food places you have to be satisfied with the existence of at least a napkin.
The first to launch the crusade for their return to Italy was Valerio Massimo Visintin, an incognito gastronomic critic who, from the pages of his blog Eating in Milan by Corriere della Sera, quipped: "That rag on the tables is the symbol of an old age to immolate with urgency the fire of a happy news. The revolution of modernity is destined to sweep away ancient ideologies ”. It was 2013 and had only predicted the decline of the cotton empire even at home. In America, their disappearance had begun more than a decade earlier.

The tablecloths make elegance démodé or worse, trattoria, and therefore to get rid of it is innovative (and on this, nobody has to say). But why? Because the new restaurant wants to be casual, easy-going, non-formal and make everyone feel at ease. At least until the bill arrives.
The naked table is beautiful if the table is beautiful, if it is warm as wood, contact is pleasant. The table is made to be watched and the costs for the molletton and the tablecloths from the restaurants have disappeared from the restaurants' accounts. Malignano in many that the reason is cheap, but the persistence of the white tablecloths in pizzerias and Chinese restaurants for 10 € should prove the contrary. Design tables, on the other hand … those that increase the receipt.

A matter of taste, and so in the diatribe tablecloth yes / tablecloth the restaurant you choose does not arrive. From Euthalia, in Vicoforte (CN) between the Langhe and the French border, between the land of trattorias and ancien régime elegance, guests are given the option of a double choice in its seven tables: two "romantic" corners with chairs in a lateral position strictly with a tablecloth and a white rose as a centerpiece, while the remaining five are bare and without tablecloth with exposed solid wood. Following the lesson of "but also" of Veltronian memory, the patron chef Gianmichele Galliano wanted not to take sides and please everyone. At the time of booking you can request the table of preference, with or without a tablecloth: "Usually young couples or business appointments prefer a table without tablecloth, on the contrary for romantic moments or for mature couples a dinner without tablecloth is unthinkable" .
In a world where everything is true and the opposite of everything is news.
