Trattoria Anita — Restaurant in Cupramontana

We’ve been going here for over five years, every time there’s a dilemma: it’s charming, authentic and the tagliatelle is great. You can see old ladies working in the kitchen, the décor hasn’t changed in decades, you sit down, take it all in and think you’ve found a real gem. There’s no menu, that’s not a problem, many Marche restaurants just come and read you a list of what’s available. The reason for this negative review is that we’ve always felt we were being charged much more than the locals, but always gave the benefit of the doubt. Now we’ve checked it out with some locals who confirmed that the old lady who serves you and makes up the bill (Jolanda?) just makes up a number if you’re a foreigner, in our case on the last visit recently, €25 each for tagliatelle and a bottle of house wine.

They didn't bring us a menu, but instead listed the options for each course, which might be a little complicated if you don't speak Italian. Perhaps they do have a menu and just didn't bring it. Antipasto of prosciutto and cheese and olives was very good quality. The olives had a lovely hint of lemon. The chickpea soup was simple but very good. Tagliatelle were homemade and the sauce was so good. Tortellini were rich and creamy and the cream sauce was flavorful. I'm so glad a friend...
