Where to eat in Ancona
Ancona is a seaside city looking out over the Adriatic from a headland, and you can taste it: fish from the harbour sits alongside the cooking of the Marche hinterland, with osterias in the centre and neighbourhood pizzerias. Whether you want a seafood dinner with a view, a trattoria for lunch or a pizza after work, here you'll find restaurants in Ancona with reviews, opening hours and online booking.
What to eat in Ancona
The signature dish is brodetto all'anconetana, the Adriatic fish stew made with many different kinds of fish and served with toasted bread. Alongside it there's stoccafisso all'anconetana, stockfish slow-cooked with potatoes and tomato, and the wild mussels of Portonovo, which grow on the Conero rocks and are a Slow Food Presidium. To drink, Rosso Conero and Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.
Areas to know
The historic centre, between Piazza del Plebiscito, Corso Garibaldi and the harbour, is packed with osterias, pizzerias and aperitivo bars. Towards the Passetto the city opens onto the sea, while to the south, in the bay of Portonovo, there are beach restaurants on the Conero Riviera, very popular in summer. To the north, Torrette and the Collemarino area offer quieter, more casual places.
Tips for choosing
For a seafood dinner at the weekend or for Portonovo in summer, it's best to book a few days ahead. Use the filters at the top to see only places open now, choose a price range or search by type, from pizzeria to fine dining.
