The Degusteria del Gigante

The Degusteria del Gigante is located in San Benedetto del Tronto. Nestled in a street of the historic town center, it stands as a small gem of local cuisine, boasting over 20 years of history, with the last 10 years recognized by the Michelin guide. Every day, it expresses its unwavering respect for healthy food and local traditions, reinterpreted with a gourmet touch.

As Spontaneous as the Herbs in Our Menu

The philosophy of our restaurant is based on the constant pursuit of quality food and, consequently, on small local producers who provide healthy and sustainable raw ingredients. A key element of the tasting menus that shape our offerings is the presence of wild herbs, which are harvested and prepared to become refined and innovative gastronomic dishes. Starting from these ingredients and a work method that encourages ongoing research and training, our chef crafts his creations in tune with seasonal availability. Our goal is to deliver to our customers a unique and unforgettable meal, evoking happy memories and conveying pleasant sensations to take home and cherish over time.

Tasting Journeys

Two tasting journeys and an à la carte menu form the regular offerings at the Degusteria. The two journeys take the customer through various stages of a culinary and regional story with a selection of eight or five different dishes, chosen at the chef’s discretion. A carefully curated wine cellar, stored in two charming underground caves, allows each dish to be paired with excellent glasses of local and international labels.

The Host

Sigismondo Gaetani is the host who founded and has always led the Degusteria. His passion for food has been with him since a young age, first expressed in his teenage years through summer jobs in the restaurant industry, chosen with the goal of tasting different dishes and developing an increasingly refined palate. With the Degusteria del Gigante, this passion has become almost a mission: to tell the story of the region through flavors, textures, and aromas and to introduce people from all over Italy and beyond to a place rich in tradition and high-quality, authentic products.

Lo Chef delle Degusteria del Gigante

Tradition Renewed on the Plate

Great attention is given to tradition, understood both as local history and as past recipes and foods to be rediscovered and reinterpreted for a meaningful and engaging culinary experience. Through the collaboration between host Sigismondo and archivist Giuseppe Merlini, events are periodically organized to explore and rediscover stories related to food and lost recipes, which are then reimagined by the chef.
