Incontri Di Gusto In Tolentino

This was our "go-to" place three years ago when we were last here. We dropped in again yesterday and were treated to a fantastic meal. We had some delicious pasta, some grilled pork, and of course locally prepared dessert. Topped it off with some delicious strong coffee. The food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic. We were surrounded by locals, and we could tell they come here for a great meal.

We received a very quick and friendly welcome and were seated right away. We had some trouble translating the menu, but they gave us plenty of time to do so. The waitress did come back several times to check on us and ask if we'd made a choice yet. We had a pizza calzone and I had a pizza funghi with extra proscuitto; both pizzas were delicious. The beer was also very cheap; my girlfriend had a 66cl birra moretti for only €3.50. The total meal wasn't expensive either, coming to €30/€35. The only downside was the table next to us. It was quite quiet in the restaurant; the only table next to us was a large family celebrating a birthday. Unfortunately, they were quite noisy and didn't eat properly, which bothered us slightly.

Despite the choice of two starters, two main courses, and five side dishes, the wait is over 30 minutes, even with half the tables free. The food is still good and the price is very reasonable.
