Posto molto suggestivo, vista mozzafiato, aria fresca perfetta d'estate! Cibo eccellente abbiamo mangiato a base di pesce m ci sono serate a tema. I tavoli sono bassi e permettono di vedere il mare senza ostacoli visivi. Devo dire un posto magico! Ottimo cibo e vini. Prossima volta serata BBQ! Consigliato in coppia! Molto romantico.... io sono rimasta colpita !!!

Siamo stati accolti da Carmen ed Alessandro nel loro giardino in collina allestito in maniera molto elegante, romantica e rilassante, con vista sulle luci della costa sottostante, leggerissima musica di sottofondo, atmosfera perfetta. Sono stati molto cordiali e disponibili, abbiamo mangiato pietanze locali e anche della cucina tipica sudafricana ed era tutto veramente molto buono, ricercato e curato. Tutto fatto in casa, le polpette in particolare tenerissime e buonissime da mangiare con i numerosi e deliziosi intingoli, insalate tipiche sudafricane profumate, fresche e buone, olive all'ascolana e cremini fatti in casa, alette di pollo alla Kentucky super morbide, croccanti e per niente pesanti. Cena ricca, gustosa, varia e sfiziosa, e a chiudere digestivo alla fragola amabile e fresco, che si sposava perfettamente con tutto il menù della serata! Grazie per questa piacevolissima cena, sicuramente da ripetere e consigliare, e complimenti per tutto!

Alessandro is full of passion about cooking and especially Adriatic seafood. But he also showcased his cooking skills with special old family dishes. And Carmen, with her perfect sense of aesthetics, finished off the decoration...and turned out to be able to make a delicious digestif too! Fine place to dine with stunning views of Porto San Giorgio. Small scale, high quality. Recommended if you are looking for a special dining experience instead of the usual 12 in a dozen! We would love to come back again. PS ….and as a Dutchmen I have to say something about the price: very affordable!

Già dal vialetto d'entrata, illuminato e decorato con gusto e originalità si intuisce di entrare in un posto magico. Il panorama poi è mozzafiato. I tavoli e l'ambiente sono curatissimi e raffinati. Il menù è molto variegato. I prodotti sono di ottima qualità e il servizio è consono ad un home Restaurant e impeccabile. Torneremo presto! Grazie Carmen, Alessandro e Anita

We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Garden, a charming home restaurant tucked away in the hills near the coast — and it was an unforgettable experience. The menu featured three small, fish-based courses, each one beautifully prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was full of flavor and creativity, clearly made with care and passion. The setting was intimate and relaxed, making the whole evening feel very personal. One of the highlights was the stunning view from the terrace. Perched on the hillside, the restaurant offers a breathtaking panorama of the coastline — especially magical as the sun begins to set. Warm hospitality, delicious food, and a spectacular location make The Garden a true hidden gem. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

Carmen e Alessandro ci accolgono nel loro giardino con il sorriso. Si parcheggia e già si ha una bellissima vista: da un lato il tramonto sulle stupende colline del Fermano, e dall’altra uno scorcio suggestivo sul mare. Dopo un ingresso poetico al giardino, ci accomodiamo al tavolo sistemato vista mare, e ci immergiamo in una atmosfera rilassata e romantica. La formula di aperitivo comprende tre o quattro piatti di eccellenze locali, quasi tutto fatto in casa o di produzione artigianale. A seconda della serata, ci può anche essere l’opzione di piatti sudafricani. Carmen e Alessandro offrono grande attenzione e clima familiare. Una chicca tra collina e mare
