The story

Galileo: Fresh Seafood on the Beach in Civitanova Marche – Michelin Recommended

A Chalet on the Adriatic

On the white sands of Civitanova Marche, Ristorante Galileo sits as an elegant beach chalet. The view is of the blue Adriatic, and the kitchen is built around what the sea provides that morning.

The Philosophy of Freshness

Galileo is a seafood restaurant through and through. The team buys fish daily from local fishermen or at auction, and nothing is held back. The cooking is modern in technique but rooted in tradition – simple preparations that let the natural sapidity of the sea shine. As the restaurant puts it, this is a cuisine of “few contaminations,” where precious condiments enhance rather than mask.

Chef Maria Rosa's Kitchen

Chef Maria Rosa is also the owner, and her cooking is described as “feminine cuisine” – substantial, without narcissism, and full of character. It’s a style that has earned Galileo a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition of the uncompromising quality and honest flavors that define every plate.

The Experience

Whether you come for a romantic dinner, a business lunch, or a celebration, the atmosphere is welcoming and refined. The menu changes daily with the catch, and the beachside setting makes it a place to linger. Galileo is a restaurant that lets the fish speak for itself – and it has plenty to say.
