Piatti tipici recanatesi sono i cosiddetti “Vincisgrassi” o lasagne (strati di pasta all’uovo condita con ragù di carne e cotta al forno). Caratteristici sono poi i cappelletti in brodo, i salumi di maiale, le verdure gratinate, il dolce “ciambellone”. Vi sono, nel territorio recanatese, anche produttori importanti di olio.

Il Colle, celebrato nell’Idillio omonimo, era meta delle passeggiate del poeta. Vi accedeva attraverso l’orto del Convento di Santo Stefano e lì era solito soffermarsi per godere dello splendido panorama che si affaccia verso i “monti azzurri”.

Curatissimo polmone verde di Recanati, il Parco di Villa Colloredo è molto interessante dal punto di vista naturalistico. Offre al visitatore un'immediata sensazione di "bosco" e una fitta copertura vegetale matura permette di avere una comunità faunistica consolidata e stabile. Qui si trova la sede del WWF.
