Ristorante Andreina: Cooking Over Embers and Fire in Loreto

Ristorante Andreina is an Italian restaurant in Loreto, in the province of Ancona in the Marche region. Its history dates to 1959, when it began with game and wood-fire cooking rooted in family tradition and the region. Today, chef Errico Recanati, grandson of the founders, leads a concept that turns cooking over embers and a grill into a contemporary culinary conversation.

Errico Recanati’s Cooking

The restaurant’s cooking revolves around two natural elements: embers and live flames. Recanati describes fire and embers as symbols of life and freedom and as a source of inspiration for his recipes. The aroma of the grill fuels his creative approach, which plays with balance and unexpected emotion in each dish. His approach to using ingredients is summed up by the idea that nothing is discarded and everything can be reinterpreted.

The menu goes beyond meat to include a range of ingredients, while keeping primal cooking methods at its center. The combination of tradition and innovative techniques brought recognition, including a Michelin star in the 2013 guide.
