A small and intimate restaurant. Seating is limited, so reservations are required. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The menu includes gluten-free and vegetarian options. The price is fair considering the quality of the entrees and the portions.

In my opinion, it's a mix of traditional and haute cuisine. A place where you can enjoy dishes you won't find in typical restaurants.

It smells of stage and stars...
Entering "Il Piccolo Teatro"
is like crossing an invisible threshold:
a door from outside,
a curtain from inside
that opens onto a world suspended
between poetry, dreams, and the palate.
The walls hold
a painting by Fabrizio De André,
which is not just a painting,
but almost a living presence:
he seems to sing silently to the diners,
accompanying the sensory journey
with his rebellious and melancholic verses.
In the dining room, the music is relaxing and dreamlike:
a thread of sound that caresses and transports,
like a distant echo of dreams
dissolving at dawn.
Above the tables, the multi-light chandelier,
a small theatrical sun,
gives a magical,
intimate, almost ritualistic atmosphere,
as if each table
were a private stage.
The owner is an elegant and courteous figure,
with discreet professionalism
who guides you without intruding:
she seems like the director of this gastronomic spectacle,
capable of orchestrating lighting,
timing, and smiles with natural grace.
And finally, the courses,
high-quality dishes,
served with that elegance
that is not just form,
but substance.
Like the entrée. "Tasty sweetnesses"
A sensory experience of taste,
Flavors and lightness...
Every bite is a theatrical act,
a prelude, a development, a climax of flavors
that explode and recompose in harmony,
leaving the palate suspended like the spectator
at the end of a perfect monologue.
"Il Piccolo Teatro" is not just a restaurant.
It is a cosmic,
poetic, and sensorial experience.
A place where cuisine meets art,
and art meets the soul,
Thank you so much,
For this "oasis"
From the performance of the ordinary world,
For an extraordinary experience...

You don't sit at a table to watch a show, but enter the scene to become the protagonist, tasting typical Ascoli dishes cooked with mastery. Kindness and attention to detail are paramount; when the bread runs out, there's no need to ask. I had a full menu: two appetizers, a braised beef that melted in your mouth, and dessert, a glass of wine and a licorice liqueur. €53, fair prices and high quality.
6 stars. I'll be back as soon as I can.
Thanks, Giuseppe.

We stumbled upon this place by chance and without a reservation, but luckily there was room. We were greeted with a smile, which isn't always a given. The restaurant is small but welcoming, with the vaulted brick ceiling typical of these areas. The menu offers a good selection, and the wine list is also excellent. The flan and roast beef appetizers were delicious, and the first courses and desserts were fantastic. The owner and the hostess were very kind and always smiling. We hope to return.

Probably one of the best restaurants for typical local food.
The place is very small but quaint, and the acoustics aren't the best when the restaurant is full.
The menu offers two tasting menus (€37 and €40), which are very affordable and offer a comprehensive experience of typical local products.
The mandarin sorbet is very good to finish.
Highly recommended!

Culinary disappointment, the menu promised well... the mushroom pasta tasted like nothing... the quail was not very tasty, the potatoes were dry and the fried food was very hard... The service was quick and friendly but we won't be back.

Excellent welcome and attentive service. The chef's dishes are always excellent and varied (with fresh, seasonal ingredients). Reasonable prices. One of the best, if not the best, restaurant in Ascoli Piceno.
Returned again after a while. Everything was delicious, and the usual wonderful welcome and service.
