The village is small, but the restaurants of Castelsantangelo sul Nera are enough for a stop at the table. The municipality has just over two hundred inhabitants and was the epicenter of the 2016 earthquake. The dining scene was rebuilt in the following years: there is a hotel-restaurant in a new building, a restaurant in a hamlet and a few bars. The food is Marche mountain cooking, with truffle, lamb and ciauscolo, a soft spreadable salami.
