A seafood restaurant that started in a beach hut in Le Marche has become the tenth in Italy to win a maximum three Michelin stars. Uliassi, where chef Mauro Uliassi and his family have been serving beachgoers in the resort of Senigallia on Italy's Adriatic Coast for nearly three decades, was awarded its third star on Friday, 18 years after its first and nine after its second.

His son Filippo now works as the restaurant's sommelier.
