Camerino restaurants: where to eat

Where to eat in Camerino: where to go

Farm stays. For cooking tied to the land, the most direct choice is the agriturismi within the municipality. La Finestrella grew out of a family farm in the locality of Montagnano: the restaurant is family-run and cooks mainly what the farm produces, zero-mile. The menu includes bruschetta, boards of cured meats and cheeses, homemade pasta, meat or vegetarian first courses, sliced steak and homemade desserts; on request there are traditional Marche dishes such as roast pigeon, roast goose, roast chicken, polenta, crescia di granturco (corn flatbread) and vincisgrassi. Agriturismo Le Cortine occupies an old sandstone farmhouse, surrounded by about 40 hectares of organically farmed land, with a dining room for 40 people; it is a few hundred meters from the municipal sports center.

Restaurants and pizzerias. In the locality of Torre del Parco, in the countryside, La Torre del Buongustaio is a restaurant, pizzeria and bar in a medieval tower; the entrance, parking, seating and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Restaurant-pizzerias include DQuadro, on via Madonna delle Carceri, and Etoile, on via Le Mosse. Among the osterie are Osteria dell'Arte and Osteria Spartacus; for a quick meal or a plate of fresh pasta there is Uova e Farina.

Sottocorte Village. Sottocorte Village, the shopping district created after the earthquake, has many of the town's places to eat: among others the pizzeria Da Pasquale, the kebab shop Da Safi and Bar K2, which serves breakfast, coffee, snacks and aperitivo. Some of the town's events that used to be set in the historic center are also held here.

The historic center. The name to know is Noè Errante, in largo Giovanni Boccati, in the old Jewish ghetto. It was the first business to reopen in its original premises after the earthquake, as soon as the area became accessible again, and since April 2025 it has added a bar and a pizza-by-the-slice counter to the restaurant, popular mainly with students from the university residence, construction workers and university staff. Given the situation in the center, it is still best to check that it is open before going.

The taverns of the Corsa alla Spada. The taverns of the town's terzieri (historic districts) are linked to the Corsa alla Spada e Palio, the historical reenactment held in 2026 from May 13 to 24: in 2026 Sossanta and Di Mezzo held their dinners on via Madonna delle Carceri, and Muralto on piazza Umberto I. The Terziero di Muralto has reopened the Taverna dell'Armigero in the basement of the palace on piazza Umberto I that houses the University Rectorate.

Camerino restaurant map

The map helps find the way around four different areas.

• Historic center. This is the reconstruction area: few places are open, such as Noè Errante in largo Boccati and the Taverna dell'Armigero of the Terziero di Muralto.
• Sottocorte Village and Vallicenter. These are the shopping areas where many bars, pizzerias and restaurants moved after the earthquake. Here are, among others, Bar K2, Da Pasquale and Da Safi.
• Other streets in town. On via Madonna delle Carceri and via Le Mosse there are restaurant-pizzerias such as DQuadro and Etoile.
• Countryside and hamlets. The agriturismi La Finestrella, Le Cortine and Le arcate di Sant'Angelo, in Morrone, and La Torre del Buongustaio, in Torre del Parco, are outside the town.

Each place has its own page with address, contact details and hours. The rest of the visit can be planned with the page things to do in Camerino, while for overnight stays there is the list in Camerino hotels.

Camerino food: what to try

Torrone. The signature sweet of Camerino is torrone, a nougat that holds the De.C.O. label, the Denominazione Comunale di Origine (municipal designation of origin). Its artisan tradition began at the end of the 19th century with a family of local pastry makers, the Francucci, and the historic version, the “Biondo di Camerino”, was made without egg white: a concentrate of honey, almonds and sugar, very crumbly. Torrone has its own festival, which on Epiphany closes the Christmas events in Camerino. Until 2016 a very long ribbon of torrone was made in the streets of the historic center, which earned Camerino a place in the Guinness World Records in 2006, 2009 and 2014; since the earthquake the festival has been held in Sottocorte Village.

Traditional dishes. Farm stay menus feature home-style Marche cooking: vincisgrassi, handmade pasta, crescia di granturco, polenta and roast meats, from pigeon to goose. Boards feature local cured meats and cheeses, and first courses include tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and fresh truffle.

Where to shop. Specialties and shops, from bread to baked goods, are gathered on the page Camerino local products and shops.
