The place
Ristorante Piccolo Ranch stands in San Pietro in Musio, a hamlet of Arcevia, where the green hills of the Marche slope down towards the Misa and Cesano valleys. The kitchen is the realm of skilled cooks who hand down ancient recipes of Ancona's rural tradition: pasta made fresh daily with Senatore Cappelli flour, oca in porchetta, cinghiale al coccio, dishes with porcini mushrooms and local truffle. Pizza is made with stone-ground flours and baked in a wood-fired oven. The property produces extra virgin olive oil and offers air-conditioned rooms overlooking the Cesano Valley.
