OUR HISTORY

For years the Trattoria La Moretta is on the catering market, is a well-known in the city of Ancona and the surrounding areas, because of its great simplicity, quality and above all his kindness in welcoming guests. The beauty of the place is endless, the staff is attentive to every detail, during the summer is used on the outside with tables, flowers, to give its customers the opportunity to taste their fresh air.

In 1897, Archimede and Santa Biló first opened the doors of this now famous Trattoria to the public. Santa was a beautiful light skinned woman with jet black hair and was known throughout Ancona as "La Moretta" (The Brunette), Archimede loved this name and decided to name the Trattoria after his beloved wife.

In the mid 1930's, Archimede went into retirement and the helm of the Trattoria was passed on to his youngest son Bruno.

Bruno and his wife Dorina continued the tradition of running a first class restaurant specializing in traditional local and regional dishes.

When World War II broke out, Bruno was drafted into the Army. As a result, Archimede came out of retirement to help his daughter-in-law run the Trattoria.

Throughout this period, Ancona was heavily bombed, but the Trattoria remained open doing business as usual.

When the war finally ended, the sad news came with it. Bruno had died in a German prisoner-of-war camp. Archimede and Dorina continued to run the Trattoria until Corrado, Bruno's only son, was older and knowledgeable enough to continue the tradition.
