Il Grottino In Castelnuovo di porto

17/10/2025: The location was beautiful, with a splendid sea view and excellent bread. We ordered six Girardeau oysters (€4.50 each), usually served chilled, and in fact they arrived at the perfect temperature on ice. Two platters of raw fish included a perfectly chilled tuna tartare, scampi, shrimp, and pink shrimp, all cold as raw fish should be served. And who could forget the filleted scallop, whose inviting appearance and freshness were evident in the aroma...just as raw fish should be? A spectacular scallop accompanied by lemon oil and chives, peppered mussels with jalapeño pepper (which those in the know certainly wouldn't confuse with a bell pepper), and cherry tomatoes. It's THE peppery one! We also ordered two plates of Gran Gratinato and three spaghetti alle vongole, which, once they arrived, stunned us with their deliciousness. A €30 bottle of wine, we ate and drank everything with great pleasure, and in the end we paid a very fair €147 without any problem. I'll be back soon to try the many other delicious things the chefs have on the menu... THANK YOU ANY REFERENCE TO THINGS, PEOPLE, OR OTHER REVIEWS IS NOT AT ALL RANDOM... AND SOME THINGS YOU DON'T EXPECT FROM YOUR COLLEAGUES... EVEN IF THEY'RE WRONG THAT DAY... RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK GOES BEYOND... BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY THAT FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ANYMORE!

13/10/2025: This is my go-to restaurant for my Marche vacations every year. Every bite is special, and I'm always sad when my plate is empty. Shabu-shabu is a must-try for antipasto. The pasta is all delicious. I try a different pasta every time I visit, and this one was by far the best. I highly recommend the Scoglio pasta, which boasts a rich seafood flavor. Even the desserts are homemade, not store-bought. I highly recommend the gelato. The passion fruit gelato is incredibly refreshing. It's the perfect final indulgence. A restaurant you won't regret visiting. Reservations are recommended.
