Where to eat in Fermo

From the Sabulo hill, Fermo looks over an area stretching from the Sibillini Mountains to the sea, and its cooking brings both sides together: handmade pasta from inland and fish from the coast. On foood you'll find restaurants in Fermo, from trattorias in the historic centre to places on the seafront, with reviews, opening hours and online booking.

What to eat in Fermo

The Fermo area is the home of maccheroncini di Campofilone, a very fine PGI egg pasta, and vincisgrassi, the Marche's rich traditional lasagne. Among cured meats there's ciauscolo PGI, soft and spreadable; in the colder months they make frustingo, a cake of figs and dried fruit. On the coast, Adriatic fish dominates. To drink, Falerio and Rosso Piceno.

Areas to know

In the historic centre, around Piazza del Popolo and the Roman cisterns, there are trattorias, osterias and restaurants for quiet dinners. By the sea, Lido di Fermo and Marina Palmense offer seafood restaurants and beach chalets, while the village of Torre di Palme, overlooking the Adriatic, is one of the favourite spots for a dinner with a view.

Tips for choosing

In summer the places at the Lido and in Torre di Palme fill up quickly, especially at weekends: it's best to book. To taste the inland cooking filter by trattoria or local cuisine; for the sea choose seafood restaurant.
