Uliassi sits on the Adriatic with the casual beauty of a seaside restaurant and the brain of a restless laboratory. Mauro Uliassi's cooking moves between beach, port and imagination: cuttlefish, sea snails, smoked aromas, wild herbs, game and surprising textures all appear with a distinctly Italian sense of pleasure. The restaurant can be playful, even mischievous, but never sloppy. It captures the coast not as a postcard, but as a living place of work, weather, appetite and invention.
