Senigallia Velvet Beach Seafood & Susci Tasting

This relaxed two-and-a-half-hour tasting walk explores Senigallia, the northern Marche beach town known both for its long velvet-sand beach and for an outsized concentration of celebrated chefs. Starting from the neoclassical Foro Annonario market in the old town, the route winds toward the seafront with five to six stops at friggitorie, street-food spots, and bars. The walk leans into Senigallia's seafood identity, with cones of fried Adriatic fish, street-style susci inspired by Moreno Cedroni's pioneering Italian take on raw fish, and other coastal bites, accompanied by a glass of Verdicchio and finishing with a local gelato. The €60 price covers all tastings, a local guide, and the wine; it does not include a full meal at the town's famous restaurants. Groups are kept small, and the walk runs in English with a guide who explains how Senigallia became one of Italy's gastronomic capitals, home to the three-star Uliassi and the two-star La Madonnina del Pescatore, and how that fine-dining culture trickles down into the town's casual food. The pace is easy, suited to a half-day on the coast, and the route passes the old town's arcades, the Rocca Roveresca fortress, and the seafront promenade. Vegetarian substitutions can usually be arranged when requested at booking, though the seafood focus makes a fully vegan version harder. Comfortable shoes are advised, and the walk works well in the late afternoon, ending near aperitivo and sunset on the beach. The experience suits travellers who want a taste of Senigallia's food scene without the cost or commitment of its starred tables, while learning what makes this stretch of Adriatic coast special.
