Hostaria Dietro Le Quinte — Restaurant in Jesi

I’m really sorry to say this, but I was left disappointed.

Upon entering this beautifully designed restaurant—with its huge wine selection, terrace, scenic view, and a warm welcome from the smiling, energetic staff—I flipped through my guidebooks once more to double-check if the place was listed anywhere.

When the beautifully plated dishes arrived, I was sure someone must have simply forgotten to include them. But after the first spoonful from my plate—and my partner’s—it all started to make sense.

The food was underseasoned, the grilled seafood had a burnt taste, and overall (even though I initially tried to convince myself that the minimalism was intentional, to highlight the natural flavors), I have to sum it up as a missed opportunity. It felt like the kind of menu that looks fantastic on paper, but the food was cooked by someone just following a recipe while the actual chef was somewhere far from the kitchen.

I was genuinely looking forward to the experience, but it turned out to be very average. I’m giving it 2 stars because this is the kind of restaurant where the amazing staff, location, and overall vibe truly save what’s otherwise a disappointment ( I’m not saying “a disaster” ) coming out of the kitchen.

Sadly, we won’t be...

I love this place. The food is creative and delicious. The chefs know exactly how to combine the different flavors in order to create an amazing dish. Also the service staff is wonderful! Especially Mario who was our waiter this evening and on another occasion. He is very attentive, professional and nice. Thank you Mario, we felt very comfortable! ☺️ Also the rest of the staff is very nice...

A little gem nestled just in the corner of a big square in Jesi. Nice decor with a terrass in the backyard overlooking the town and valley. Food is simply ottimo! From some starters you can share to full on fish and meat and vegetarian dishes. You don’t wanna miss this one. Wine menu has regional heros plus...
