23/10/2025: A TIMELESS CLASSIC THAT KNOWS HOW TO EXCITE
THE PLEASURE OF ARRIVING
Ancona Due is one of those places that seems to strike the perfect balance between everyday life and memories. Even from the large parking lot, though often crowded due to the large crowds, you can sense the atmosphere of a beloved destination, one where people willingly return because they know what awaits them.
A FILM SET FROM ANOTHER TIME
Crossing the threshold is like entering a film from another era, where elegance translates into sobriety and style into character. The venue's decor has a vintage feel, but not dated: rather, "classic."
It's a place that retains its identity without chasing passing trends.
The rooms are bright, spacious yet intimate, with corners that shelter conversation and offer privacy even when the venue is full. The light is bright yet warm, like an embrace that invites you to stay.
THE MENU
The menu tells the story of a cuisine that isn't afraid to branch out. Fish and meat, first courses, pizzas, desserts: everything finds its place in a balance that isn't distracting but generous.
I chose fried calamari with chips, a classic that here becomes an everyday poem. Perfectly crispy, lightly fried, golden chips. A dish that, despite its simplicity, reveals craftsmanship and attention to detail.
THE SERVICE
The staff is the true soundtrack to the experience: kind, attentive, and smiling. Their helpfulness is genuine, not superficial. The speed of service doesn't detract from their attentive service, and every request is answered with courtesy.
You can feel that authentic Friulian hospitality, made of politeness and warmth, that makes you feel at home even if you're not.
CONCLUSION
Ancona Due isn't a "once and gone" restaurant: it's one of those places that becomes a point of reference, a refuge, a certainty.
Each dinner confirms the previous one and adds something new, like a friend who always knows how to say the right thing at the right time.
A full five-star rating, deserved not for luxury or appearance, but for consistency, quality, and heart.
A classic that never ages, because authenticity never goes out of style.
16/10/2025: On the two occasions we've dined with our dog, we've found the staff to be warm, professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The food, both meat and seafood, is delicious and beautifully prepared and served. The bill is fair, and the satisfaction we felt at the end of the meal naturally led us to compliment them on their ability to make us have a pleasant time. Thanks again.
