About Gastronomic Weekends Cartoceto
A journey into the flavours of the Pesaro hinterland
In Cartoceto, a small municipality in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino known throughout the Marche region for its DOP extra virgin olive oil, I Week End Gastronomici makes a stop. This is a major food and wine circuit promoted by Confcommercio Marche Nord together with FIPE - Pesaro and Urbino Restaurateurs Association. It is one of the longest-running and most successful events in the entire region: for over forty years, it has invited so-called "gastronauts" to discover the province through the dual lens of territory and cuisine.
How it works
The formula is simple and well-tested: on the scheduled weekends, dozens of restaurants located in many villages in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino and Montefeltro offer quality set menus at promotional prices, focusing on typical dishes, local products, and seasonality. In Cartoceto, the event takes place at the Agli Olivi restaurant, one of the participating venues, where regional cuisine naturally blends with the oil culture that has made the town famous.
More than a meal: an itinerary
Each stop is not just a gastronomic occasion, but also an invitation to stroll through the monuments, churches, and landscapes of the host village. A guide booklet provides information on restaurants, menus, and cultural suggestions for each location, with particular attention to the Municipalities participating in Confcommercio's "Itinerary of Beauty" project, dedicated to the tourist promotion of the Marche hinterland.
The oil village
Cartoceto is a perfect choice for those who love to combine good food with slow discovery: the historic centre, the hamlets, and the olive groves provide the backdrop for an event that focuses on the authenticity of flavours. The event takes place in two main periods throughout the year, the spring and autumn editions, allowing visitors to experience the different seasons of taste in the Marche region.
