Ristorante da Filippo Mezzo Marinaio In Francavilla al mare

14/09/2025: Evidently, the upcoming holiday closure has affected the somewhat smaller menu than usual. It's the end of the season, and that's understandable. The pappardelle with octopus was delicious, but the rest was nothing special. It's a shame, but it deserves three stars.

14/09/2025: Unfortunately, I can't give more than 3 stars, despite all the positive reviews... Maybe it's mid-September, or maybe it's closing soon... Unfortunately, there were no mussels, and consequently, all the mussel-based dishes. Fettuccine with clams was very different from the photos posted, with far fewer clams, and small ones... I basically ate pasta and oil. The mixed antipasto was good, as were the pappardelle with octopus. The dessert never arrived. It's okay that it's about to close, but unfortunately, we were a bit taken aback and disappointed. Friendly service, good prices.
