I hadn't been to Tolentino for almost 9 years (damn earthquake that destroyed my house), and I remember that back then there wasn't much to choose from in town to eat out, and well.
Today, like John Belushi in Blues Brothers, who sees the light, and the street, I saw the Fioretti grocery store, recommended to me by my clever uncle, because of Saint Nicholas (my saint obviously...).
Well, I can only rave about the setting, the richness of the menu, the quality of the raw materials, and the friendly and warm welcome from Andrea, heir to the family dynasty, who transformed what was "just" a grocery store , in a gourmet place in the center of Tolentino, where you can taste exceptional typical products (the aroma of his ciauscolo, renamed in CAPITALS, without any preservative, stays in your mouth for minutes) and gastronomic refinements brought to you by his trusted collaborations around for Italy and Europe, like the desserts made with buffalo milk from Campania, the salmon sandwiches from the Faroe Islands, or the fantastic Swiss mountain cheese (so good that I took a piece to take home) .
And I won't dwell on the endless choice of wines, native and otherwise, for which knowledge and a palate are needed, which unfortunately I lack, but which I highly recommend on trust.
All of this, let's point out, at "popular" prices that probably wouldn't fear the competition of the cheapest of taverns.
Thanks to Andrea and his collaborators for giving me a reason to return as soon as possible, despite not yet having my own accommodation.

You can eat very well in a serene and convivial atmosphere. Delicious dishes and generous portions. To return. In a Tolentino that deserves to relive its ancient splendors.

Quando si è in giro per lavoro e’ importante trovare un ambiente divertente e spensierato e soprattutto con ottimo cibo di alta qualità.
Ecco perché consiglio di fermarsi da Andrea Fioretti anche con i colleghi di lavatori

Very original place, excellent quality food and wine, attention to detail, but the highlight is the owner, very good, difficult to say in two words, classy refinement, combined with excellent competence. A beautiful discovery.

The quality of the products is very high. More unique than rare quality/price ratio. Excellent wine selection and prices.
So 5 stars without a doubt!
However, the passion of the owner, Andrea, and all his staff make the experience truly delicious, which is why they deserve the sixth star!
In the area it is really difficult to find an offer with the same quality/price ratio and appreciate excellent quality artisan products, researched and carefully selected.
Delicious dinner at Fioretti, highly recommended

Seconda volta in questo grazioso locale in centro a Tolentino, propone sempre pietanze con ottimi abbinamenti e panini molto sfiziosi, lo consiglio per una serata diversa.
