Villa Cicchi

We celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary in this splendid seventeenth-century villa; everything was taken care of to perfection, from the table to the truly exquisite food and the wines. Efficient and polite waiters. A beautiful party!! Thank you, Laura!

We were fortunate to secure a lunch reservation at Villa Cichi during our travels in the Marche region. The set menu includes five courses. Each course featured regional specialities that were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. It was an absolute delight to be overstuffed at the end of the meal. We ate in a thoughtfully decorated room of the 17th Century Villa with a crackling fire and attentive service from both staff and the granddaughters of the family who lives and manages the business. They were kind and generous with explaining the origins of the dishes and their family story when asked. The grounds have meandering paths with flowers though no vegetable gardens at the time we visited. We took a train to Ascoli and then a taxi from the station if considering a visit without a car. This meal certainly memorable for both its quality, the experience of eating local dishes elevated to excellence, the unique atmosphere, and the care of those providing the experience.

We arrived on a Sunday night at a nearby B&B. The host recommend Villa e for dinner, and booked us a table. We were nicely welcomed by the friendly staff. The served us an excellent vegetarian meal, with the best gazpacho we ever had. All ingredient were super fresh, from their own vegetable garden. Moreover, the setting of the restaurant is very beautiful. Thanks.
