Once a modest shack on beautiful Spiaggia di Velluto (the 'velvet beach'), Uliassi is now one of the best-regarded seafood restaurants in the country, while still retaining that all-important, family-run warmth. Chef Mauro Uliassi's menu is based in his fervent interest in the interaction between smell, memory and taste: smoked pasta with clams evokes the experience of walking past the pop-up seafood grills on Rimini's beaches, while Pasta with Tomato Sauce Alla Hilde is an ode to perfumer Hilde Soliani. Focus also falls on the chef's study of marine flavours and how they meet – and 'contaminate' – meat-based products. It's part of a sea-land exchange typical of the Marche regional tradition. Beyond the dining room, the experimental Uliassi Lab creates a menu that is reimagined from scratch every year, featuring dishes such as squid skewers with citronette dressing and liquid nitrogen, and the celebrated signature Senigallia-Brest with vanilla cream, dried olives and cherries.
