Ristorante Pecora Nera In Ascoli piceno

04/04/2026: Piero is a friendly host, excellent cuisine, a truly welcoming atmosphere, recommended for a lunch/dinner stop in Ascoli Piceno

30/03/2026: I went for dinner with my wife, relying on the restaurant's good reviews. I must say they were all positively confirmed. The menu, featuring local specialties, isn't overly extensive, which—I should point out—is always an added bonus for me (I'm wary of menus that last for pages), but it still offers a rich and varied selection. From appetizers to dessert, the dishes are interesting and beautifully presented. Specifically, we ordered two appetizers: cheese and egg balls (obligatory for mopping up the sauce) and golden, fried artichoke segments (good, more "ordinary"). Then I chose a first course, vincisgrassi, which were very interesting, first of all because instead of puff pastry, the chef chose crepes, and then a rich but balanced "filling." My wife, on the other hand, chose a second course, a very well-made stew with a hint of citrus (orange?) that was never overpowering but that gave a note of acidity and freshness to an otherwise complex dish. Finally, a dessert, donuts with cooked wine. We then accompanied the meal with a local red wine. The restaurant was small and welcoming, with very attentive and attentive service from the host and his wife, and the atmosphere, reminiscent of a wholesome old-fashioned (in the best sense of the word) but with modern touches, was very pleasant. I should also add that despite it being full, the acoustics were good and The soundproofing allowed us to chat without being disturbed by other tables. The price, finally, was extremely reasonable at less than €70.00 for two, making it highly recommended for a quality stop in Ascoli Piceno.
