Osteria Ophis

About

Nestled in the picturesque medieval town of Offida, Osteria Ophis offers a quintessential Italian dining experience that beautifully blends tradition with modernity. The restaurant is housed in the historic Palazzo Alessandrini, where the former stables have been transformed into a warm, inviting space that exudes local charm. Chef Daniele Citeroni Maurizi, a proud member of the Slow Food Consortium, curates a seasonal menu that showcases the rich produce of the Marche region—fresh vegetables, locally sourced olive oil, and tender meats picked directly from nearby farms. Guests can savor classic Piceno dishes such as truffle‑infused risotto, hand‑made pasta, and rustic pici, alongside creative contemporary interpretations of regional specialties. The kitchen also caters to a range of dietary preferences, offering vegan, vegetarian, and gluten‑free options without compromising on flavour. Whether enjoying an intimate dinner in the historic dining room or a relaxed lunch on the outdoor terrace, diners are treated to an authentic culinary journey complemented by a carefully curated wine list featuring regional labels. Osteria Ophis has earned two Gambero Rosso forks for its exceptional service and dedication to quality. The venue is open multiple times a day, with evening hours on weekdays and extended Saturday and Sunday schedules, providing flexibility for both locals and visitors. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak dining periods, and can be made online through the restaurant’s dedicated booking page.
