Rank 4. Madonnina del Pescatore
Seafood
The vegetable garden sits almost on the beach, close enough that the greens absorb salt air, which tells you something about how seriously this two-Michelin-star restaurant on the Adriatic takes its ingredients. Chef Moreno Cedroni runs tasting menus that swing between his own classic archive and a Marco Polo route through Asian and Middle Eastern flavors, with a food-tech lab next door feeding new ideas into the rotation. His wife runs the room, and runs it well.

Rank 5. Lofficina
Creative Seafood
A contemporary dining room perched at the Sant'Erasmo belvedere, with the Adriatic and Monte Conero laid out below in summer. The chef leans into the sea for inspiration, building creative dishes around combinations that don't follow the obvious path. Two tasting menus, or à la carte if you'd rather call the shots yourself. Book ahead; the view is not a secret.

Rank 10. Burro & Alici
Seafood
A road separates Burro & Alici from the beach, and in summer the windows fold open so the dining room becomes the seafront. It looks like every other casual fish restaurant along the Marotta waterfront, which is the sort of camouflage that earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Classic Adriatic cooking carries the menu, with the occasional personal twist, and the gourmet pizzas topped with seafood are the kind of thing you didn't expect to order and then do.

Rank 11. Attico sul Mare
Contemporary Seafood
Perched on the top floor of the historic Kursaal building on the seafront, this contemporary Italian restaurant makes a meal of the view before the food even arrives. The menu leans on Adriatic fish and seafood, with classic regional preparations alongside more restless cooking, a turbot dish that uses fillets, cheeks, and something approximating the crackling being a fair example of how the kitchen thinks. Tableside finishing keeps things theatrical.

Rank 12. Cile's Bistrot
Seafood
-
Rank 13. San Lorenzo
Seafood
Black truffles turn up with genuine generosity here, which tells you something about how this family-run restaurant in Spoleto's historic center operates. It sits inside the Clitunno hotel, but the mood is its own: an intimate, recently refurbished dining room with seasonal meat and fish, and a terrace on the small square for warmer nights. Park outside the restricted zone and walk in; the stroll through the old town is half the point.
