21/08/2024: The Osteria Cinque Colli in Montefiore dell'Aso proved to be a lucky choice during the 27th Maialata in Piazza, a renowned and always very popular food and wine event in August. After a long wait to taste the specialties of the event, we decided to have dinner in this charming tavern located in the heart of the historic centre, taking advantage of the outdoor seating available.
The venue stands out for its suggestive atmosphere, perfectly integrated into the historical context of Montefiore dell'Aso. The service was impeccable: the staff is attentive, courteous and ready to satisfy every need, helping to make the experience even more pleasant.
Our gastronomic journey began with a meat tartare enriched with flakes of fresh truffle, an excellent dish in terms of quality and presentation. Subsequently, we savored a mixed fried dish which included perfectly prepared Ascoli olives, crunchy and tasty, and cremini which, with their hint of anise, added a touch of elegance to the dish.
The first course, the Monterubbianese fried tagliatelle with truffles, was an authentic revelation: a characteristic specialty with an intense flavour, which won over all the guests. For the second courses, the steak proved to be succulent and cooked just right, while the wild boar stew was expertly cooked, with well-balanced flavours. The capocollo in porchetta, accompanied by a delicate mashed potato, completed our dinner excellently.
Everything was accompanied by an excellent Rosso Piceno "Picus", which enhanced each course with its strong and harmonious notes, perfectly framing this culinary experience.
In conclusion, the Osteria Cinque Colli is a place that stands out for its hospitality and the quality of the local cuisine offered. The quality-price ratio is absolutely normal, and we will undoubtedly return to visit this tavern. Well done to all the staff for making our evening truly special.
18/08/2024: Nice experience in this tavern which inside reflects the characteristics of the medieval village of which it is part.
We had lunch outside enjoying the beautiful view of the valley.
The waitresses were good and courteous, which should be the norm in restaurants but which today is unfortunately not so obvious.
The fried food and cold cuts are good. The vincisgrassi were excellent, the pappardelle with wild boar ragout was good, the pasta was cooked perfectly although I would have liked a stronger flavour. The cheek on a bed of soft polenta is also very good.
The red wines tasted were also good.
I was then pleased to see my 3 and a half year old daughter brushing her cutlets with chips. Well breaded and well cooked cutlets, NOT industrial.
Well done.
