Best long lunch or dinner

The restaurants on the beach at Portonovo (Marcello, Da Emilia) for fish with your feet almost in the sand. Closer to home on the coast: Giamirma on the Porto Potenza Picena seafront, simple, seafood, right on the water, ten minutes away. For a meat-focused feast inland, Ristorante I Gelsi outside Macerata, everything cooked on the open fire, in a 1700s country house setting.
