When tradition, intended as the relationship with one's country and maritime roots, is combined with the quality of the local products, without relinquishing the desire to try something new and learn from surrounding or foreign gastronomic traditions, the results cannot fail to be extraordinary.

Here are a selection of great dishes which combine natural ingredients, decisive flavours and top-quality raw materials: a maritime cuisine which does not ignore the inland part of the region, with its farms, typical crops, hunting and gathering of woodland products.

The flavour of the olive oil, the fragrance of the bread and the soups and the abundant meat are accompanied by numerous wines: traditional DOC reds and whites and aristocratic wines, among the world's most renowned Italian wines.
