Ristorante del Furlo
|
| One of the most beautiful parts of the Marche Region on the central part of Italy's eastern coast serves as the setting for the traditional old Ristorante del Furlo, which is named after the historic mountain pass. Located on the ancient Roman Flaminian Way, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, this old hotel and restaurant is only a few kilometers from a number of points of cultural interest for tourists, and some lovely things to look at, such as in the cities of Urbino and Cagli and the hermitage of Fonte Avellana, in the northeast of the Marche region. Easily reached by the Fano-Grosseto super highway (connected to the A14 autostrada), the Albergo e Ristorante del Furlo is an establishment of historic interest. It has been feeding people and offering lodging since 1861. |

Welcomed by maître d'hôtel, Roberta Roberti, customers of the Albergo e Ristorante del Furlo can choose from among three comfortably laid-out dining rooms, not to mention the terrace, which in the spring and summer offers an enchanting view of the surrounding countryside. Special attention is given to carefully selected local products, including such delicacies as pit cheese, Monte Catria spring lamb and the extra-virgin olive oil of Cartoceto: traditional flavors that the creative flair of chef and sommelier, Alberto Melagrana, manages to harmonize with a skilled and balanced quest for new flavors. The fare includes several set menus, from the Grand Gourmet to two menus entirely created around the exquisite white truffle, not to mention menus for people fond of pasta and special children's menus. |

The Furlo Pass is located in the heart of one of the most famous truffle areas in Italy (just a few kilometers from Acqualagna, which boasts one of the country's most important truffle fairs) and so it's only logical that the restaurant would offer an abundance of tasty dishes featuring this noble member of the Tuber genus, everything from the Tuber Magnatum Pico (which is gathered between October and December) to the Tartufo Nero Pregiato, or black truffle (harvested between January and March) and estival Scorzone (found from June to August). The restaurant also features an exceptional selection of breads and bread products, including their rustic pizza with coarse salt, the crescia (a traditional focaccia bread) and piadinas (a flat peasant bread), as well as soft rolls and great bread sticks. One of the most outstanding first-course dishes is the Sedani Rigati topped with an emulsion of Parmigiano Reggiano, extra-virgin oil and chanterelle mushrooms. |
