Magic Caffè In Monsampolo del tronto

07/04/2026: I've been to Il Chiosco di Maria, and I have to say it's one of those places that truly lets you experience the seaside atmosphere. The location is practically on the seafront, with a casual yet refined atmosphere that immediately puts you in the holiday mood. The highlight is definitely the food: incredibly fresh fish and simple yet exquisitely prepared dishes. The fried fish, in particular, was one of the things that struck me most: light, dry, and not at all greasy, a sign of great attention to quality and preparation. The appetizers are also very good and plentiful, perfect for sharing. I found the service precise and relaxed, unhurried yet attentive, which makes the experience even more enjoyable, especially in a setting so close to the sea. Overall, it's a place I would absolutely recommend, ideal for a summer dinner or a lunch with a sea view, when you want to eat well without too much formality but with quality.

01/04/2026: It's a simple kiosk on the seafront, just north of the old Ballarin Stadium in San Benedetto. Now, if you're convinced that to be trendy you have to choose trendy locations where you can walk around like a zombie with a glass of Spritz in hand, well, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for one of the best affordable seafood restaurants, this is the place for lunch in San Benedetto. Try the maccheroncini with white fish sauce and appreciate the finesse of the preparation. Try a couple of appetizers and maybe a fried dish or the grilled meat. All quality ingredients, cooked the old-fashioned way, which is hard to find these days. Very simple service. Unbeatable value for money. Highly recommended.
