Osteria Ophis Marche

Osteria Ophis sits on Corso Serpente Aureo, a five-minute walk from the Teatro Serpente Aureo. The kitchen draws on both traditional and contemporary Italian cooking, reflecting a versatility recognized by the 50 Top Italy guide, where it holds a ranking among the 22 best trattorie bistro moderni.

The restaurant provides a necessary antidote to the frantic pace often found near the Piazza del Popolo. While many spots in this corner of Marche rely on the generic charm of their surroundings, Osteria Ophis leans into a more deliberate, polished style. The room runs smart, feeling dressier than the rustic trattorias that dominate the immediate area. It is a place for those who prefer a calculated, precise meal over the haphazard hospitality found just a few blocks away.
