Lunch at ⭐️ @nostrano_pesaro . Traditional dishes served with some twists and refinement .

Insalata Di mare comes full of local seafood and lettuce as you would expect but it’s also adorned with a clam veloute , turning this into a soup and salad situation .

The seafood in the region is usually grilled and lightly crumbed , the calamari was nice and tender and simply adorned with lettuce , but the crumb is not a personal preference.

My favourite dish of the day was a textbook risotto, with sweet and sour onions , pine nuts and pine needle gel . The flavours melded together beautifully and lingered on the palate .

Stuffed pappardelle sees the ribbon pasta folded onto itself , filled and turned into rose like shape . Here it’s stuffed with cacio e Pepe sauce and served with local calamari, clams , asparagus and peas . Luxurious pasta dish .

All things turbot - the fillet is pan fried , the bones turned into a lovey jus alongside clams and artichokes and the offal into a moorish croquette.

Sea bream was the catch of the day , topped with a parsley glaze , and served alongside asparagus. Unfortunately the fish was overcooked perhaps suffering from a little too much time over the heat lamps/pass .

Dessert was a standout - beautiful lacquered pastry in rose shape which you dip into a bath of zabaglione and sheep milk ice cream . Best dessert of the trip by a mile !
