Riva del Sole In Grottammare

10/03/2024: Yesterday...absolutely by chance...and moreover almost at the end...my friend Marina and I landed among the smells of Zona Franca...what can I say...the waiter whose name we don't know with an open smile he didn't make us feel like "latecomers" which in fact we were... he immediately put us at ease by presenting us without haste with the dishes available.... I... I have no words to describe the "flavors" that have embraced us, taste, mind and emotions..no..it's not possible...I can only say that I "brought home" a mental laboratory and that this morning pushed me to elaborate on the lunch just now... We will definitely return...to the Zona Franca...but we will ask to meet the chef because...whoever prepares those "dishes" so expertly puts his whole heart into it..."cooking is an act of love" says the protagonist of a famous film...and we we want to see the face that belongs to someone who was able to surprise our taste buds and our emotions...thank you for everything and thanks to the young waiter who already knows how to do his job like a true professional

07/01/2024: Today for lunch I had this pleasant surprise, I was satisfied with the food, service and appearance of the dining room. The variety of dishes and wines is excellent. The service is very good, the prices are adequate for the quality of the food. They are not common dishes but with simple and genuine products the chef manages to create superior quality cuisine. If you are looking for typical Piceno dishes, for example the tray with loin, ham and salami, this is not where you should eat. Advised.
