Clandestino Susci Bar

Clandestino Susci Bar sits in the spectacular Baia di Portonovo, a wild cove beneath the white cliffs of Monte Conero, where Moreno Cedroni runs a seasonal seafront outpost of his Senigallia fine-dining world. Set almost on the pebble beach, the venue is informal and atmospheric, with the Adriatic lapping just beyond the tables and the Conero promontory rising behind. Here Cedroni applies the 'susci' philosophy he made famous, serving creative raw, marinated, and lightly cooked Adriatic seafood in tasting selections and à la carte plates that change with the catch and the season. The cooking is more relaxed than at the Madonnina but carries the same inventiveness, making it one of the most coveted summer tables in the Marche. Because the bay floods with beachgoers in high season and parking is tightly controlled, an early reservation and a plan for transport are essential. The bar operates only in the warmer months, roughly spring through early autumn, and exact opening dates shift year to year. Wines focus on crisp Marche whites such as Verdicchio that suit the raw seafood. Independent travellers should reserve through morenocedroni.it and confirm seasonal opening before travelling to the bay.
