Touring In Falconara marittima

05/05/2026: We ordered antipasti (grilled sardines and anchovies), pizzas, a pasta dish, fruit juices, water, a spritz, a bottle of red wine, and no dessert. Overall, the food wasn't bad, it was actually quite good, but I'm deducting two stars because the portions were rather small [We are in Italy, after all! And by the sea!]. Also, the sardine pasta dish wasn't quite what I expected. The spaghetti with sardines was swimming in far too much oil. The pizzas and antipasti were fine. The drinks were also good, and the local red wine at €14 a bottle wasn't bad at all! The service was also quite good, fairly decent at that time. As for the atmosphere, it was fairly quiet as it wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. I think there were only four occupied tables when we were there. Perhaps it was too early? I don't know! Because you should know that we went straight in when it opened at 7:30 pm and we stayed less than two hours.

06/04/2026: Delicious appetizers, fabulous scampi gnocchi, excellent and plentiful mixed fried fish. Excellent service. Very welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended.
