Antica Osteria Da La Stella
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
The Urbino restaurant that does vincisgrassi the way it should be done, the Marche's great baked, layered pasta, richer than lasagna, and a little pleased with itself.
In the Renaissance quarter of Urbino, a few minutes' walk from Raphael's house and the Palazzo Ducale, in a stone-walled room dating to the 1400s. Small, atmospheric, without being theme-park about it. The vincisgrassi is the dish: sheets of pasta layered with a slow-cooked ragù, sometimes chicken livers, sometimes black truffle, baked until the top is crisp. Pair it with a glass of Verdicchio di Matelica, the local white. The crescia (Marche flatbread) is the right starter. Service is friendly, occasionally distracted, fairly priced.
