Don Magnifico In Vasto

Lovely trattoria with a beautiful view. Great value honest food.

The pasta fresca ai frutti di mare was delicious! Full of clams mussels, shrimp and squid.

Excellent food, friendly and very polite staff in a picture-postcard location.

An absolute delight! Not just the food, but the entire experience. The staff was simply amazing ❤️ attentive, friendly, and warm. We felt incredibly comfortable. The food was delicious 😋 There were three of us, plus a baby and a dog. It was a wonderful evening with a great view and an even better atmosphere. The food was fairly priced; two people even shared the fish platter, which seemed expensive at first glance. It was worth every penny and every minute of waiting. This isn't a fast-food place; good food takes time, but the appetizers made the wait much more bearable. The third person's pizza was excellent, but the fish platter was divine. It arrived piping hot, tenderly cooked, with a delicious, bubbling sauce. The different ingredients still retained their individual flavors and were simply superb. There was also plenty of bread, and for a reasonable extra charge, the sauce was made into a pasta sauce, and everything was brought back to the table piping hot. ... We enjoyed a good wine 🍷 and only the guest with pizza had dessert; the fish platter was easily enough for three or four people. The two of them were completely full. The tiramisu was a creamy delight 🤤. The only slight hiccup was that they initially ordered body charge for the baby. Normal for children, but not usual for babies. After pointing out that the baby wasn't even a year old yet, they cancelled the cover charge. So, it was nothing more than a minor slip-up in a very successful evening. We will definitely come back and would recommend dinner here to anyone. We actually chose the restaurant primarily because it was open at 6 pm and a friend had said it was good. We didn't expect to stumble upon such a gem 😋

Good food...good service and very polite and smiling staff...picture-perfect view. The only flaw is the bathroom, small and not very clean...otherwise nothing to complain about!

Beautiful place with a very characteristic sea view with outdoor and indoor tables. We ate very well with fresh fish, excellent service. We will definitely be back.

They were kind enough to welcome us and our dog, even though it was late. We had the Don Magnifico seafood appetizer, cheese and egg balls, paccheri, and calamari skewers with vegetables. But when I saw the seafood pasta dishes, my mouth watered again. If I had to make a couple of observations: the balls could have been made with more cheese and an extra calamari skewer, because they were good. We recommended the place to our host.

The pizza was obviously not Neapolitan, so it was crispy. But the ingredients seemed solid. The courtesy, kindness, and friendliness of the staff was greatly appreciated.

We ate at this restaurant with a magnificent view! We ate very well; for me, being able to eat stuffed mussels like the ones my mother used to make was priceless! With due regional differences, since I'm Ligurian and we make them slightly differently, they were still truly delicious!

The staff were very friendly and attentive to gluten-free requests. My daughter and I are celiacs, and they served us professionally. The food was excellent, and the view was magnificent.
