About Anastasia
Verdict
Picture a seafront evening in Civitanova Marche: the Adriatic salt in the air, a modern dining room opening onto an outdoor terrace, fresh fish prepared with both classical discipline and creative ambition. Anastasia earns two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) at a mid-range price point, making it the clearest answer to the question: where do you go on the Marche coast when you want serious seafood without a four-figure bill? Book it for a date night, a family celebration, or any occasion where the quality of the fish on the plate matters more than a flashy postcode. Booking is easy and the €€ pricing means you are not gambling much to find out.
About Anastasia
Anastasia sits on Via Bainsizza, directly on the Civitanova Marche seafront. The concept spans more than a single category: it operates as a cocktail bar, a full-service restaurant, a small hotel offering guestrooms and luxury apartments, with a rooftop swimming pool. That combination is worth knowing before you book, because it shapes both the atmosphere and the practical logistics of your visit.
The restaurant's focus is fresh fish, delivered through a menu that moves between familiar reference points; tartare, classic preparations; and more composed, recipe-driven dishes. The Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 signals consistent kitchen quality: the Plate is awarded by Michelin inspectors to restaurants producing good food, sitting below star level but representing a deliberate, credible culinary effort. For a €€ venue on the Adriatic coast, two consecutive Plates is a meaningful marker. It tells you the kitchen is not coasting on location or tourist traffic.
The dining room is described as modern and spacious, the outdoor terrace is available for alfresco dining when the weather cooperates. On the Marche coast, that window runs roughly from late spring through early autumn, if you are planning a summer visit, the terrace is worth requesting when you book. In cooler months, the indoor room gives you a comfortable fallback without losing the seafront context entirely.
Cocktail bar element adds a dimension that most seafood-focused restaurants in the region do not have. You can open or close your evening at the bar rather than moving to a separate venue, which makes Anastasia a reasonable all-in-one option for a special occasion where you want to keep the group together across drinks and dinner. For diners staying in the hotel apartments, the rooftop pool and on-site restaurant combination removes the need to plan much beyond arrival.
On the question of takeout and delivery: Anastasia's format, a cocktail bar-restaurant with a focus on fresh fish and composed plating, is not structured for off-premise dining. Fresh seafood preparations like tartare and elaborately sauced dishes are designed for immediate service, the experience of a spacious modern dining room or a seafront terrace is precisely what you are paying for here. If convenience food is what you need, look elsewhere in Civitanova Marche. If you want to eat fish well, in a setting that matches the ambition of the cooking, Anastasia is where to go in person. See our full Civitanova Marche restaurants guide for other options across different formats.
On the Adriatic coast, Anastasia sits in decent company. Comparable seafood-focused venues further along the coast include Uliassi in Senigallia, a three-Michelin-star benchmark for what serious Adriatic fish cookery looks like at the top of the market,, at the other end of the ambition spectrum, Alici Restaurant on the Amalfi Coast. Anastasia occupies the practical middle ground: more culinary seriousness than a casual trattoria, accessible pricing that does not require a special-occasion budget for every visit.
A local alternative worth comparing directly is Galileo, also in Civitanova Marche. If you are deciding between the two for a single evening, Anastasia's Michelin recognition and hotel-bar-restaurant format give it a slight edge for celebration dinners; Galileo may suit a more casual meal.

Booking
Booking at Anastasia is direct. There is no evidence of the weeks-long lead times that characterise Michelin-starred venues, the €€ price point means walk-in demand is more manageable than at destination restaurants. That said, if you are visiting in summer and want a specific terrace table on a Friday or Saturday evening, booking a week or more in advance is sensible. For special occasions or larger groups, contact the venue directly to confirm availability and any specific seating requests. No online booking platform is confirmed in the available data, so direct contact is the recommended route.
The hotel and apartment rooms add a practical dimension for visitors travelling from outside Civitanova Marche: staying on-site removes transport considerations entirely, which is worth factoring into a celebration trip. See our full Civitanova Marche hotels guide for broader accommodation context if you prefer to compare options before committing.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Anastasia reads like a port-side dining room where the Adriatic is more than an ingredient — it’s the room’s backdrop. The restaurant sits literally on the seafront, with a terrace that looks outward and a dining room that opens to the light off the water, so the sea is present in both view and atmosphere. The kitchen balances straightforward, time-honoured presentations with moments of technical refinement when the catch permits, giving the place a poised, coastal character: attentive and composed rather than flashy, grounded in the rhythms of a working harbour.
Best For
Anastasia suits a range of occasions that lean on fresh seafood and a memorable setting. Its seafront terrace and open, light-filled dining room make it a natural pick for a celebration or a business dinner that benefits from a polished, coastal backdrop. The kitchen’s mix of classic and considered preparations also works well for date nights that favour quality ingredients presented with restraint. Families and small groups seeking straightforward, well-sourced fish will find the menu approachable and focused on what arrived that morning.
Ordering Tips
Treat the menu as an itinerary of the day’s catch: ask the staff what came in that morning and let the kitchen’s choices guide your meal. The house signatures — sciogliola with truffle, ravioli with sea urchin and the fish tartare — are good anchors if you want exemplars of the kitchen’s approach. If you prefer a simpler, more traditional seafood plate, request the classic preparations that showcase the freshest species; when the kitchen leans technical, expect thoughtful treatments that still respect the fish.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Anastasia's comparison set in the broader Italian fine-dining world skews significantly higher in both price and ambition. Osteria Francescana in Modena, Dal Pescatore in Runate, Reale in Castel di Sangro, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico, and Quattro Passi in Marina del Cantone are all €€€€ venues with Michelin stars. If you are building a multi-day Italy itinerary around destination dining, those are the appropriate references. Anastasia is a different proposition: a €€ Michelin Plate venue focused on Adriatic seafood, where the case for booking is value and accessibility rather than trophies.
For seafood-specific comparisons along Italy's coastline, Uliassi in Senigallia is the regional benchmark; three Michelin stars, €€€€ pricing, a substantially harder reservation to secure. If your priority is the best Adriatic fish cooking available regardless of cost or planning effort, Uliassi is the answer. If you want strong, Michelin-recognised seafood at mid-range prices with easy booking, Anastasia is the more practical choice and holds its own on that basis. Gambero Rosso in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica offers a southern Italian coastal counterpoint worth considering if your itinerary allows.
Within Civitanova Marche itself, Galileo is the most direct local alternative. Anastasia's dual Michelin Plate recognition and its cocktail bar-hotel format give it a clearer identity for celebration occasions. For broader Italian reference points at the higher end of the market, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence, Piazza Duomo in Alba, Le Calandre in Rubano, and Enrico Bartolini in Milan represent the starred tier; genuinely different experiences at a different price level. Book Anastasia when you want a seafront fish dinner with genuine culinary credentials and do not want to plan six weeks out or spend starred-restaurant money to get it.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to Anastasia?
The modern dining room and seafront terrace at Anastasia read as relaxed rather than formal. A €€ price point and cocktail bar format both point toward neat casual; no jacket required, but beachwear is a stretch. Think a clean shirt or summer dress for an evening booking on the terrace.
Is Anastasia good for solo dining?
Yes. A cocktail bar component and a modern, spacious dining room both tend to suit solo visitors better than intimate fine-dining formats. The terrace in fine weather is a natural fit for a solo dinner with an Adriatic backdrop and no social pressure to linger.
Is Anastasia worth the price?
At €€, Anastasia represents solid value for a Michelin Plate-recognised seafood venue on the Adriatic waterfront; you are not paying a premium for ceremony, just for quality fish. For the price tier, it competes well against generic seafront trattorias in the region that carry no independent recognition at all.
Is Anastasia good for a special occasion?
It works for a low-key celebration: a Michelin Plate credential, a seafront terrace, cocktails, guestrooms on site if you want to make a night of it. For a landmark anniversary where full Michelin-starred theatre is the point, Dal Pescatore or Osteria Francescana set a different standard; but at a significantly higher price and booking complexity.
What are alternatives to Anastasia in Civitanova Marche?
Anastasia is one of the few venues in Civitanova Marche with formal recognition, so direct local alternatives are limited. Within the broader Marche and central Italy region, Reale in Castel di Sangro and Osteria Francescana in Modena operate at a different price band entirely. For comparable Adriatic seafood at higher ambition, Quattro Passi on the Amalfi Coast is worth the detour if you are travelling south.
