Sot Ajarchi
Sot'Ajarchi
A seafood eatery under the arcades of Ancona's old port, recommended by the Michelin Bib Gourmand and known for Conero wild mussels.
Sot Ajarchi is located under the arcades at No. 93 Via Marconi in Ancona's Archi district. Run by a woman, it has been recommended by the Michelin Bib Gourmand every year since 2023. Michelin describes it as a typical seafood eatery specializing in Conero wild mussels (moscioli), with pasta in a variety of seafood sauces. Its grilled squid skewers are popular, as is the fish soup, which must be booked in advance and is served for at least two people. Local guides also recommend the Ancona-style air-dried cod. The atmosphere is casual. Michelin notes that the restaurant does not take reservations, so it is best to arrive early at mealtimes. Closed on Sundays, and some weekdays serve lunch only.
