Grotta del Frate In Staffolo

12/08/2024: A wonderful place and a TOP kitchen, I will come back with pleasure

12/08/2024: The place has no internal tables and is spartan but well-kept. You can sit in the outdoor area in front but it is small (6/8 small tables) although nice. On the roof terrace however there are several tables with chairs where you can eat but if the wind is not in your favor as it is the ventilation chimney of the kitchens next door you risk going home with the smell of fried food on you. Friendly and efficient service despite the queue and the immense wait, the quality of the food and the value for money was absolutely worth it. I have never eaten such good fried food and abundant for years. While we were waiting we still sat down and were able to order a spritz and Ascoli olives which were also very good. The service involves taking the number at the queue dispenser, when you are called you go to the counter to choose the fish that you want and that is cooked at the moment. You are given a token that rings when the order is ready to collect, whether you eat in or take it away since it is served in disposable containers with the relevant cutlery and towels. Next to it there are also bins for recycling and they are very spacious and clean like the whole room which also has an internal bathroom.
