Trattoria Acqualagna Tartufo

Trattoria Acqualagna Tartufo is a truffle-focused trattoria in Acqualagna, the small inland town in the province of Pesaro and Urbino renowned as one of Italy's truffle capitals, where the prized white truffle is harvested in autumn and black varieties throughout the year. The kitchen builds its menu around these treasures of the surrounding Apennine woods, shaving white truffle over handmade tagliatelle in season, serving eggs and other dishes enriched with black truffle, and offering a dedicated truffle tasting menu that showcases the ingredient across several courses. Beyond the truffle, the cooking draws on the broader Marche interior, with handmade pasta, local meats, and seasonal produce from the Metauro valley. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, fitting for a town whose autumn truffle fair draws visitors from across Italy and abroad. Prices reflect the cost of fresh truffle, particularly the white in season, but the trattoria remains approachable. The wine list favours Marche labels suited to the earthy dishes. Acqualagna sits on the Flaminia road inland from Fano and is best reached by car, making it a natural lunch stop on a truffle-themed itinerary. Independent travellers should reserve during the autumn truffle season.
