La tana del polpo

in the heart of Ancona

Our restaurant came to life thanks to Cristina -the chef - and her passion passed on to her by her grandmothers and those authentic scents and flavours that only homemade and traditional cuisine can provide. This passion has brought Cristina to work in many restaurants in Ancona, acquiring years of professional experience. Thus was born her dream to open her own business, combining tradition and innovation in a perfect fusion.

La Tana del Polpo becomes the perfect place for Cristina, because it is located a few steps from the sea, offering at km0 all those fish products that the Adriatic has to give. Our seafood restaurant is located in the historic center of Ancona, the beating heart of the region's capital city.

Our constumers reviews

  • WHEN THINGS ARE DONE WITH PASSION...

    Quando un'attività viene portata avanti con passione e amore, fa la differenza e la Tana del polpo ne è la dimostrazione. Complimenti a Cristina e al suo staff per le proposte in menù, non banali e uniformate, ma con un tocco in più. Abbiamo mangiato benissimo e non solo torneremo presto, ma consiglieremo questo ristorante bello e intimo, nel cuore di Ancona!

    When a business is carried out with passion and love, it makes a difference and La Tana del Polpo is an evidence of it. Congratulations to Cristina and her staff for the menu suggestions, which aren’t mundane or standardised, but have an extra special touch. We had a wonderful meal, we will come back soon and recommend this beautiful and intimate restaurant, in the heart of Ancona!

  • PLEASANT SURPRISE!

    Ristorante davvero speciale tra le vie del centro di Ancona: un menu con pochi piatti tra cui è difficilissimo scegliere... ma in ogni caso si va sul sicuro, sono davvero uno più buono dell’altro. Prezzi giusti e personale gentile. Consigliatissimo!

    A very special restaurant between the downtown streets of Ancona: a menu with few dishes between which it is challenging to choose ... but in any case, what evere you choose you are sure to enjoy it as every dish is more tasteful than the other. Fair price and friendly stuff. Higly recommended!

  • La Tana del Polpo è uno di quei ristoranti belli, precisi e curati, ma nei quali ti senti a casa. Cristina e Sergio in cucina ed Elena in sala, sono la ciliegina sulla torta di questa “scatola” deliziosa. Sono stata oggi a pranzo con un amica e i nostri due figli. Tutto davvero delizioso. Consiglio vivamente ai nuovi avventori di provare i cappellacci neri con la carbonara di mare... semplicemente sublimi.

  • ALWAYS THE BEST

    Tornati per un pranzo in famiglia siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti.
    Inizio di qualità (e quantità!) con l’antipasto di pesce misto caldo e freddo: una nota speciale
    per la trippa di rana pescatrice, imperdibile. A seguire cappellacci al nero di seppia con le cozze.
    Per secondo grigliata di pesce con tanta varietà e l’immancabile polpo alla griglia, tenerissimo.
    Tutto sempre freschissimo e proposto con professionalità e gentilezza.

    We came back for a family's lunch and were very much satisfied. Star of quality (and quantitiy!) with a seafood entrees: a special note for the monkfish tripe, unmissable. To follow cuttlefish ink cappellacci (similiar to cappellini) with mussels. For the main course grilled fish with a lot of assortment and unmissable grilled octopus, very tender. Everything is always fresh and offered with professionalism and courtesy.
