Uliassi
Senigallia, Italy
Uliassi stands beside the beach and harbour in Senigallia, bringing Mauro and Catia Uliassi’s restaurant into direct conversation with the Adriatic. The setting is coastal, but the cooking moves well beyond a straightforward seafood menu. Memories, travel and the traditions of the surrounding region inform a kitchen that approaches familiar flavours with both curiosity and precision. Seafood has a central role, appearing in preparations that may combine shellfish with citrus, herbs or spices. Smoked spaghetti with clams and roasted tomatoes illustrates the restaurant’s interest in building layers of flavour around recognisable ingredients. The menu also makes room for meat and game, with a dedicated game tasting route reflecting another side of the kitchen’s repertoire. Classic selections sit alongside a Lab menu devoted to newer ideas. Guests can choose a tasting experience or explore the à la carte offering, allowing different levels of immersion in the restaurant’s work. Bread and pastry form part of the progression, carrying the attention to flavour through the whole meal. Uliassi suits travellers exploring the Marche coast who want to understand how its food culture can be reinterpreted within a contemporary restaurant overlooking the sea.
