ristorante pizzeria Barone Rosso In Ripatransone

We came in during the off season so it is understandable that the atmosphere couldn’t be the same as it is in summer but it still felt a little sad. There were only two restaurants open that Sunday afternoon and the second one was full and needed reservations, so we walked across the village to get to this place. Luckily no reservations were needed and we got a table right away. The server was nice and kind and brought us a high chair for our son after we asked for it. We wanted to order pizza but were told that it wasn’t the right time, that it had to be other items from the menu so we ordered water, a starter of deep-fried stuffed olives, gnocchi with tomato sauce and pappardelle with lamb ragù. I ordered an ice tea from the menu but was told they didn’t have it. The food arrived fairly quickly, which was nice. The starter was good but to pay €7 for about 7 stuffed olives and a small pile of bland potato chips seemed a little too much. The gnocchi were really tasty, buttery soft and fresh. The sauce was a simple pomodoro sauce so there wasn’t much to it but the lamb ragù was a big disappointment—the pasta was fine but the sauce didn’t taste like much and there wasn’t pretty much any meat to be found, only three meatless bones. The americano was awfully burnt. The total price wasn’t bad but the food just wasn’t what we hoped for. The women’s restroom has a lock but can’t be actually locked. 🔒

Kind. Economic. Familiar. Traditional artisan cuisine. Optimal!!!!

Nello splendido borgo di Ripatransone, nascosto tra veicoli pietrosi, si trova questo splendido ristorante. Scendendo delle ripide scalette, una porta, appartamente anonima, introduce in un elegante ingresso con luminose vetrate e divani di stile antico. La sala da pranzo è bellissima. Pareti in pietra e soffitto a volte. Menù ricco di invitanti piatti soprattutto della cucina locale. Optiamo per una carbonara sapientemente preparata con ottimo guanciale e pecorino. Si prosegue con la grigliata mista, buonissima. Ottime carni cotte alla perfezione. Una menzione particolare meritano gli arrosticini. Squisiti. Ma il top è senza dubbio la frittura ascolana. Le olive e i cremini sono i più buoni che abbia mai mangiato. Variegatata proposta di dolci, ma ingolositi dalla bontà dei cremini fritti, optiamo per una crema catalana, e non ce ne pentiamo. Buona passerina della casa. Al tavolo ci ha servito una signora gentile e professionale. Conto incredibilmente contenuto per la qualità del cibo e le porzioni veramente generose. Bravo Barone Rosso. Torneremo volentieri.

Reminded me of old faded glory.

Very welcoming place in a historic building with large arches. The food is good and the service is excellent. Friendliness and availability both in suggesting and satisfying customer requests.

Nice place, adequate prices, plentiful food and friendly staff. PERFECT!

A place in the historic center of Ripatransone. Ancient building, very high exposed tiled attic, multiple rooms, the staff, very kind and attentive, has to run. Google Maps is a bit confusing because the country is a living labyrinth. Menu includes pizza which we did not try. Menu with simple dishes and plenty of local recipes, all excellent with wines strictly from the local hills.
