Vinicio In San benedetto del tronto

The atmosphere is nice, but for a medium-high priced seafood restaurant, you'd expect more from the food and service. We occasionally found dirty glasses all over, especially one we asked to change—but they should have been changed all over... the same goes for the plate, one of which was really dirty. The food is good but not the best, especially the cold appetizers; they're plentiful, but they left much to be desired. There's nothing to complain about regarding the quantity; the portions are generous, and the full menus are relatively reasonable. The first courses and the fried fish (literally 1 meter) are really good, and are the restaurant's strong points. I highly recommend it if you're planning on eating first courses or fried seafood; I don't recommend the full menu, despite the reasonable price, unless you want to try a bit of everything. The washing and cleanliness of the plates and glasses, as well as the quality of the appetizers, could definitely be improved. The waiter is friendly, but given the size of the restaurant, he's alone.

good fish selection with cold and hot starters, some tasty and unusual, modest wine list albeit with a selection of local products, overall good value for money.
