Reviewed By DOORGASKET - Nottingham, United Kingdom
This is a quaint little restaurant that appears to be popular with the locals. Unless you know your Italian food or are happy to experiment, go with an Italian who knows what's what. Being fortunate, i took my own Italian. The place is set in a valley at the side of a road. Plenty of parking and an area to east alfresco if it takes your fancy. It was evening and dark so we ate indoors. Make sure you have plenty of thine because no one seems to be in a rush. The food was perfect and the bill for 2 people with 3 course meal and drinks came to €47. (2014).

Marchese del Grillo Restaurant is an old Villa at 5 km from the town of Fabriano. It was built at the behest of the Marquise Onofrio Del Grillo and it was made famous by the movie of the same name, with the actor Alberto Sordi. It is a warm and welcoming location, with exposed brickwork and beautiful vault ceiling. The cuisine is regional, but includes also interesting reinterpretation of old and traditional dishes, and innovative experiments, on first and fresh quality products. The menu changes every season, according to the availability of fresh products. Marchese del Grillo restaurant, in Fabriano, is reviewed on all trade guides and thanks to its well equipped cellar, with more that 1200 wine labels. The large green spaces around the Villa, the garden and the Terrace with view of the beautiful hills, will be the special and charming location for banquets, wine tastings and evenings under the stars, in an atmosphere of taste and relaxation.

Recommended by the owner of the B&B on the other side of the market square, and it was excellent in every way - the bucatini with mazzancolle (= a sort of shrimp), the white wine ('fruttoso'), the friendly service and the relaxing atmosphere. Popular with local people. Prices very reasonable. If you can't see it just ask - it's tucked away in a small street round a corner.

I know this bar pretty well, and it's a little gem in this part of Italy. It's smart young owner Marius has made some great innovations that you'd be hard pressed to find even in big city bars - how many places can you name in Italy that will actually provide soya milk for your cappuccino? Most of them would just laugh in your face (I should know, because I've tried asking)! Plus he's got rid of the slot machines, plays some cool music over the sound system, and is always ready with friendly chat and advice. The bar also organises music and Literary evenings which bring a bit of life to a town that really most of the time just can't be bothered. Outside Seating means you can enjoy the lovely square and a cool breeze while the friendly staff bring you a good local wine and a tasty snack. What more do you want?

I enjoyed the place as I was there with many colleagues and the ambient was just great. Food wasn't anything special and wine list rather poor. I must stay staff was quite young and inexperienced but they will improve though time. Recommended for a visit.

Good Ice cream as said, I do think the price is a bit high for it.
Is it worth it? if you like ice cream maybe but it wasn't the kind of Ice cream that blew me away.
Try it to see!

Reviewed By Peter M - Cardiff, United Kingdom
Let's begin by saying the personnel at this restaurant were welcoming, charming and likeable. But that's where it starts and finishes. The restaurant name translates as "The Pleasures of the Flesh"., and they specialise in meat dishes. I chose this place because it is rated #1 in Fabriano and was just around the corner from my hotel.
I began with a Rollata - a type of roulade containing ham, cheese and vegetables. It arrived very quickly, and had that "uniform" appearance of being mass-produced in a food factory. There is no way this could have been made up in the kitchen and produced so quickly. The taste confirmed this; it had that unmistakeable blandness that we see so often in the UK with products supplied to Pubs and poor restaurants by the likes of Brake Bros. It had been reheated, I imagine in a microwave. (Later that evening I suffered a severe bout of indigestion with an acid stomach; during the night I was eventually sick. For sure this was down to the Rollata.
For mains I ordered a Bistecca. In my experience this means a trimmed, bone-free cut of beef, grilled or pan fried, tender and juicy - maybe a sirloin, rump or entrecote. I was surprised to receive a cut that looked like a T-bone, with extensive amounts of fat. The fat was really gristle, and had that stale taste of old meat. This was not a Bistecca Fiorentina, as it did not include the Porterhouse cut which is essential to a true Fiorentina. It was really a Costata [or Chop]. The meat turned out to have come from Argentina, not for example from the famous Italian breed, Chianina. It was tough, chewy, and had undoubtedly been frozen at some stage of its life. It was truly dire.
I had a nice bottle of rosso piceno with this, and frankly the wine was the only enjoyable experience.
I don't know what your views are on animals in restaurants, but personally I am not a fan. A customer brought a dog in - well behaved I must say - and many of the staff stopped to pat it and have their hands licked by the creature. I watched a girl, having done this with the dog, go back to her bar station and continue to serve drinks without washing her hands. Same thing with a couple of waiters. Now, we all know where dogs' tongues have been! So, I ask you, would you let a dog lick your hands and then without washing go and prepare food for your children? I think not. For this reason I am even going to mark down the staff, although they were very nice people.
If this is Numero Uno in Fabriano, I don't think I'll eat out again during my stay!
