Osteria del Baffo

Just outside Ancona’s bustling center, Osteria del Baffo delivers a quintessential taste of the Adriatic. This traditional osteria has built a reputation on extremely fresh seafood and consistent, authentic flavors. The menu reads like a masterclass in regional maritime cooking, with standout dishes like the delicate Tartare di Orata e Mela and the rich, comforting Stoccafisso all’Anconetana.

As noted by the creators at Where The Foodies Go, this is the place for the “best stockfish Ancona-style,” served in generous portions at a fair price. From bruschetta topped with anchovies to Calamarata con Broccoli, Mandorle e Calamari, the kitchen honors local tradition without pretense. It’s an essential stop for anyone seeking an honest, high-quality meal that captures the spirit of Ancona’s seafood heritage.
