The story
Located in the historic hamlet of Torre di Palme, within the town of Porto San Giorgio, Il Cugnolo offers a dining experience that blends modern techniques with the rich culinary traditions of Italy’s Marche region. The restaurant is part of the Villa Lattanzi estate, a setting that immediately signals a commitment to elegance and hospitality.
Il Cugnolo’s kitchen focuses on Italian Contemporary and Modern Cuisine, a direction that has earned it a Michelin Recommended award. The recognition speaks to the kitchen’s precision and the quality of its ingredients, though the restaurant’s own story is told through its well-appointed spaces—suitable for private parties, events, and fine dining—and its seamless integration of indoor and outdoor seating, allowing guests to enjoy the surrounding landscape.
The atmosphere is one of understated refinement. The restaurant caters to a range of occasions, from a set lunch menu to an elaborate dinner, and the service is professional yet welcoming. While the specific details of the menu change with the seasons, the philosophy remains constant: to present Italian Contemporary cuisine that is rooted in the local territory but expressed with a modern sensibility.
For those seeking a meal that is both grounded and forward-looking, Il Cugnolo delivers a compelling argument for the vitality of modern Italian cooking in the heart of the Adriatic coast.
