Lo Squalo In Tortoreto

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.

Excellent dinner with delicious preparations. Everyone was very kind and attentive. Menu with few dishes on the list but I consider it an advantage. Fresh fish and cooking with the right creativity, but be careful not to overpower the flavor and delicacy of the fish.

Pleasant return this evening with my family for dinner here at Squalo and I am pleased to confirm everything written below. Everything is always good and fresh. "I discovered this restaurant over 44 years ago when I found myself in Tortoreto Lido for work. The owner Antonio (Tonino) is an exquisite person and always up to par. The courtesy and kindness combined with the quality and variety of the dishes with fish always fresh and excellently cooked, they are a winning cocktail. Always satisfied every time I used their cuisine. FROM SUMMER 2023 THEY NO LONGER DO TAKE AWAY SERVICE. Definitely recommended.

Ci siamo trovati molto bene, servizio ottimo e qualità dei prodotti ancora di più. Location bellissima...consiglio vivamente

The first ones are especially excellent

Simple restaurant, good food, friendly staff, prices too high

We stayed a few days in Tortoreto and chose to dine twice in this place. Professionalism, friendliness, commitment, attention, kindness, very fresh raw materials (fish), originality and culinary tradition go hand in hand. We tasted appetizers, first and second courses and desserts, all delicious and at fair prices!! We congratulate the owners and invite you to go there! You will not regret it. Cinzia and Leopoldo
