A daily
mission
Every day, the staff at our sea-facing restaurant are ready, willing and able to welcome our guests with a wide-ranging culinary offering that combines the best of the traditional flavours of the Marche region with a refined, highly creative approach.
Quality through and through
The Restaurant: freshness
Experience Portonovo at the dining table, too: fulfil your dream of enjoying a meal looking out to see, or share your celebrations in the welcoming atmosphere of our restaurant, as your eye takes in the panorama of the Riviera del Conero.
We select only fish and shellfish of the highest quality. Come into the restaurant and make your choice directly from our refrigerated cabinet displaying the catch of the day, as your mouth begins to water at the thought of the fresh delicacies you are about to savour at the table.
*Gluten-Free options are available on request. However, as our pizzas are not prepared in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, we cannot guarantee the complete absence of cross-contamination.

Portonovo wild mussels
Here, we call wild mussels Moscioli
With the local dialect term “mosciolo” we refer to the wild mussel that lives, reproduces, and is fished in the Portonovo area, usually from April to October. However, this year the Portonovo consortium, together with the cooperative responsible for mussel fishing, has declared a fishing ban in order to protect the species from extinction.
Therefore, in our dishes we will be using farmed mussels from the Nicolini Concession in Numana and surrounding areas. To safeguard the Portonovo mosciolo ecosystem, we must take a break, in the hope that these measures will allow its repopulation.

Aperitif & Adriatic
Happy Hour facing out to sea
On beautiful spring days, or at sunset following a day by the sea, or to recharge your proverbial batteries after work: it’s always the right time for an aperitif.
Breathe the Conero air, immerse yourself in our unhurried ambience and drink in the panorama.
At La Capannina, the balcony is the place to relax and make the most of happy hour. Here, mixology classics and innovative twists, as well as still and sparkling wines, accompany our dishes, whether you’re enjoying some super-fresh fish or some crunchy, just-baked fornarina (a speciality similar to pizza dough). Everything we serve up is just so delicious, you’ll want to stay for dinner.
