Food Scene

Romantic/cosy atmosphere inside. Tasty food & wine. Not super cheap but the price matches the quality. The red wine called 'Lacrima di Morro d'Alba' is delicious.

This has the best pizza in Recanati that I've tried. There's a few pizza restaurants but I think this simple take-out tops them all! There's a small amount of space to eat in or you can take away. Choice between slices ready to go or a fresh pizza made for you.

A bit pricey but totally worth it for a treat. Cosy atmosphere, fantastic local food & wine. Try the mixed cheese & meet antipasto. Best to book ahead.

Sightseeing

The 'Hill of Infinity' was Leopardi's favourite spot for writing. It has some beautiful views. At one end, near the town, you'll find Leopardi's tomb (or part of it) and it is also near Leopardi's house and library museum.

Amazing views from the top! Also interesting exhibits inside (mainly Italian) and a great historical/now photo display. Unfortunately, you don't seem to be able to buy a ticket just for the tower, you need the €10 ticket that covers the following: La Torre del Borgo, Museo Civico Villa Colloredo Mels (includes Recanati History & Immigration Museum) and Beniamino Gigli Museum. All worth a visit if you have the time.
