From BEACH EATERY to 3 MICHELIN STAR Restaurant - Inside One of ITALY'S BEST Restaurant

Today, we are in central Italy to discover one of Italy's most hidden 3 Michelin star restaurants. It's called Uliassi. Uliassi opened in 1990 as a family-run beach café by Chef Mauro Uliassi and his sister, Catia Uliassi.

Hearing you giving a bit of commentary from the restaurant, rather than the usual voiceovers, was a really nice touch. I'd like to see more of that going forward in your videos-- that candid, unscripted commentary. It felt really enlightening!

[@spiralingspiral72]

i agree

[@edjack1993]

Agree - definitely a nice new feature. More please!

[@РомаПрохоренко-п3ъ]

totally agree

[@freddiebrookessmith]

Agree! You get more of the atmosphere of the restaurant as well

[@marvindunze8482]

It was a nice touch, as long as it is not overdone. There are also other people spending a lot of money. Personally I would not enjoy it if someone in the restaurant is having a whole KZbin commentary during that experience

[@ageoflove1980]

What I really like about this channel is that its not just a bunch of pretentious nonsense but actually explaines very well why these restaurants are special and what exactly you are paying for as a customer.

[@andreastschig6905]

As a TV producer for 20+ years and with a Michelin chef in my family, you keep impress me with top notch quality content, not least visually. This episode excelled for one particular reason - it included your spontaneous reactions and comments! More of this, and you will reach even greater heights!

My twin brother died recently. His goal was to have a life like this wonderful gentleman has. Someday, somehow I will go to a place like this and drink a toast to him.

[@mosmarb]

Lovely sentiment, I did something similar for my mum a few years back. Check for set lunch menus, a lot of restaurants offer the same food (albeit a shorter menu) at more affordable prices - it's a more gentle way to ease into fine dining.

[@stacipriano9188]

I know you will do this both for him and you. He is part of you, heart, mind, and genetics. He will be there with you. May you live a beautiful life for the both of you.

[@fronk5082]

So glad to say you are part of my Sunday tradition now. Happy to have found your channel, Alexander! Keep 'em coming!

[@deepbhadja5730]

Well it is rare for Alexander to give so much praise to a restaurant, looks like one of his favorites.

[@lesliewisdom5437]

Your positivity and kindness effervesces, you root for the restaurants, but honestly assess, with grace. Fantastic food and travel resource.

[@CashMoneyMerta]

"I would come back here tomorrow." Hugest compliment Alex can give.

[@jeremypushkin3383]

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in the world. Have been going to Uliassi since it was a beach side shack and it's so great to see it's success!

[@CheeseburgersImpact]

I understand wanting suit and tie on servers....but the casual ensemble with that beach setting really is the better match!

[@archimedes1660]

I absolutely love the production quality of your restaurant reviews! The cinematography, editing, and attention to detail are top-notch. It really enhances the overall experience of watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@kutz206]

I feel like you spent a little extra time explaining the food and ingredients in this video and I loved it. I love hearing the reasoning behind the dishes

[@optimizer6488]

My favorite food channel, hands down. The food and wine are the stars; but the personal stories, awe-inspiring visuals, and Alexander's rich narrative raise this to an entirely higher level than any other KZbin channel (or, for that matter, streaming channel) I've seen. The wine pairings raise the bar even further; even if you're not a wine enthusiast, it's a joy to hear how the wine/food matches play out. I also appreciate that, even at restaurants that delight beyond anyone's wildest dreams, he'll occasionally call out a dish or a wine that doesn't quite live up to the Michelin billing. That alone provides another level of credibility to the channel. Thanks Alexander the Guest - for everything you bring to this channel.

[@L0Rwick]

Love how he makes such a good effort to pronunce Sanigallia 💚💚

[@ransomcoates546]

Yes- to look at it you’d want to say Seniga’llia.

[@shadowfilm7980]

Love the look and vibe of this place. I could sit there all day!

[@yep8058]

Crazy. Never expected THIS to be a 3 Michelin Star restaurant.

[@krisztianfuredi4262]

I really like the immediate reactions to the meals. Please continue the videos like that. I love it... Csak így tovább Sándor!

[@highseassailor]

That you wanted to stay at the end of the meal truly says a lot about how wonderful the food is.

[@BMcDuffie]

I think your live commentary shows even more authentic excitement and joy, which I really enjoyed this video. More of this would be amazing!

[@dlish-st]

Hahaha the whistling sound effect when Alex was in his speedo 😂

[@yoshipancakes]

My beautiful home region of Italy. Thank you for visiting ❤️❤️

[@mysauco]

Loved seeing you more relaxed and spontaneous in your reactions to each dish - its a nice change of pace from the usual format and keeps things interesting as your channel and content progresses. Happy subscriber here! 🙌🏼

[@JanWeinhold001]

Entertaining and interesting as always and you talking directly in the restaurant to the viewers is a nice touch I really liked.

[@MrWhangdoodles]

Alexander the Guest is only 1 of 4 channels I subscribe to with the "bell" turned on. No matter when or where. I will immediately watch his beautiful and informative videos.

[@michaelfelsinger-k2i]

Thank you, Alexander ! This is paradise. Michelin 3 star food and wine, an authentic family-owned business, and a view of the sea which would make Neptune put down his trident and chill out with a glass of Villa Bucci reserva. By the way, I hear there's a Michelin-starred restaurant in Death Valley. 50 degrees and no air conditioning. Leave the suit at home. Ha ha ! All the best !

[@thegustohub]

Welcome to Italy, Alexander!

[@philipg.haynes8373]

the change in editorial style is excellent, also I feel that this is a restaurant that you feel truly at home in. köszönöm.... I hope that is right

Some things might seem missing in this restaurant but they are mentioned in the M guide as having a focus on the environment and the impact the restaurant has overall .

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Cold shrimp paired with kidney sounds so intriguing!

[@AverageAlien]

Perfect videos to watch when starving

[@lugaretzia]

I like that there is some in camera talking rather than just a voiceover.

i love this channel! i´ve never been particulary interested in fine dining cuisine but you really make it exiting to watch! thanks for all your effort.

Great time to subscribe guys, you know Alexander's giveaways are insane. 🤩 As for this restaurant, just wow. Looks like the perfect beach house. Dishes looks awesome too.

[@zwelakhekanyile4694]

This is great entertainment, I love this channel.

[@perc_popper27]

Alexander, I'm a new subscriber and have been binging your channel. The production is amazing and elegant. A potential content idea, I love the way you talk about wine and how it pairs with the food. I would love to watch you taste some wine (perhaps some that are more reasonable for the average viewer like myself) and talk about what you like about them and foods you would enjoy with said wine. Love the channel, keep up the great work my friend.

[@markmower6507]

I am not into bread, and I am not a fan of Sourdough bread, But that Sourdough Bread Sounded Fantastic!!!

[@jacopocom]

Grazie Alexander!

[@JoannaHayes-iv2ic]

Really enjoying this channel, so exciting to see inside these places! I'm visiting Moor Hall in Lancashire in a few weeks. Never eaten at a 2 Michelin star restaurant before so very excited. Would love to see a review on here!

[@andrewquinlan6096]

More real time reactions that stuff is great,your quality is insane thank you!

[@jzwadlo]

Running commentary and subtitles is a nice addition!

[@hicturbaest]

At a place like this with few theatrics the food has nothing to hide behind… a true 3 star

[@shadowfilm7980]

I think it was cool to just see you eating wearing a white shirt with your sleeves rolled up! Casual is good too. Not just a suit and tie. Especially for this environment. Near the beach.

[@thallocub]

for this kind of cuisine, too. It's great cuisine but it's still italian, in a good way. You should be comfortable.

[@CrackingCloche333]

Damn… added this one to the list as well! Love This content!

[@ericwantsbbd]

I appreciate you sharing how to approach and eat many of these dishes. While there may be no correct way, it’s helpful to see someone with lots of experience cut, scoop and prepare the food for eating. Underrated aspect of your videos.

[@milnez]

Love the quality of your footage and editing too… foods alright 😂

[@Intigo]

The food looked incredibly good here. It always does, but this truly looked astonishing. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Italian cuisine.

[@chefagnew]

The wine pairing seems just as interesting as the food, the pepper/vanilla course seemed very lost in not only the order of the menu but in the menu itself but really like he restaurant ( definitely need the a/c)

[@monstrouself3102]

I’m not from a fancy upbringing or anything so when I’m sat here eating quavers and a muffin watching this it has me questioning a few things 🥲

[@jeffkingston6590]

This looks impressive. Food done well, with interesting dimensions but without artifice. It seems that too many *** Michelin restaurants feel compelled to add unneeded and frankly distracting complexity and preciousness to their dishes. This one did not. Bravo. Advice: put Dal Pescatore (the Santini’s) on you list. Hands down my favorite in Italy.

[@MaartenRottwilm]

I have been watching Alexander’s videos for over a year now, and only realised I wasn’t subscribed a few weeks ago. Make sure to double check if you are too, let’s lift the channel to 500k quickly 📈🍾

[@stianaslaksen5799]

Alexander, videos from you is the youtube-hightlight of the week! As soon as I win the lottery I will visit all these restaurants! 8)

[@OrganicMachoCapitalist]

Just go now as soon as you have some money. Do the first without the expensive wines and get it rolling. Once you like it you will find ways to go more and more.

[@MihaZ]

I would never go in a restaurant without air conditionning lol. I'm from the North, and I don't like heat. Cheers

[@nin134]

I love you man❤❤

[@Hilco88]

Man, this is my new favorite channel. Can't get enough and thirsty for a Krug 171 haha

[@user-nf7cr6wn6o]

On one hand I like seeing more of your expressions during diner, seeing you enjoy. On the other hand - I've promoted this channel to a friend recently saying: "The strength of this channel and persona lies in the fact that he spends exactly the same amount of time on every finding whether it's neutral, good or bad. It's really straight forward and pleasantly "dry", but not clinical." It's...perfectly balanced (pun intended). Somehow the expression-shots emphasize your experience. Leaving the facial expressions out like before really left a lot of room to fantasize about. This video was enjoyable, but I miss some of the mystery and you making yourself very unimportant while being very recognizable at the same time.

[@Fluffman13]

6:10 this is what good food is about, the smile says it all. This must've tasted really nice!

[@HossinFW]

Love this show!!!!!!

[@trevizee806]

Amazing video as always but as an Italian what amazed me the most was you saying Marche correctly, and not Le Marsch

[@151forShizzle]

franciacorta saten wine is so epic

[@latebloomerabroad]

It looks wonderful, but I don't think at that price it's acceptable that they didn't keep you cool. Even if they only need to turn an air conditioner on for the really hot days, they should have one.

[@novelhawk]

I'm 10 minutes away from this place and had no idea it existed

[@PalashBackup]

If you got time, please do a visit to Pepe in Grani.

[@liampurvis2731]

just in time for lunch!

[@yanggang1227]

A 3 Michelin star restaurant with no air conditioning is insane to me

[@farid9282]

truly insane is wearing a suit and a tie to a restaurant located at a beach when it is 39C outside. It would be incredibly daft not to utilize the chance to use the fresh, salty air of the sea while pairing it with incredible food

[@obsidiansky1863]

[@alex_urso]

I have my house in Senigallia, I go there each summer every year and I've been at Uliassi so many times. The menu rarely changes in years so it's a big disappointment for a 3-star Michelin restaurant. I've been there in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023 and yet the menu was always the same.

[@mgbdub2007]

Wonderful.
