Lo Squalo In Tortoreto

Chosen as a place to return from a trip..... we chose well.... everything was excellent

The quality and service at Squalo is always a certainty... with slightly larger portions it would be perfect.

Excellent service, I recommend the tasting menu. All fresh and well presented. A beautiful experience.

Tiny restaurant with only a few seatings. Fresh produce. I would recommend the starters as they were all full of flavours and nicely presented. I didn’t particularly like the pasta dish. The grigliata was nice but a bit expensive for what it had.

Product quality and impeccable presentation for excellent dishes. Friendly and attentive staff, the tasting menu is highly recommended.

A bitter return I have known this restaurant for many years now, and it has always been a regular stop for me here in Tortoreto. Its strong points were the quality of the ingredients, the price and the generous portions. After returning to the venue this year I was able to see that these strengths have unfortunately changed. The restaurant seems to have worn very different clothes from those of a few years ago. The place has become a high-end restaurant that also offers tastings, in itself this choice does not lead to any problems except that the dishes that were once offered have remained the same, only with halved portions and double the price. A choice that could have been acceptable has become nothing more than a sad change of facade that unfortunately maintains the same substance. After these changes I don't think I will return to the restaurant, which although remaining a good restaurant, in its new guise remains mediocre compared to the competition. A small, honest and affordable local restaurant has lost all the qualities that were attractive to its long-time customers, so it was a very bitter return.
