I migliori ristoranti in Ascoli piceno

20/05/2026: Nice place, very kind owners, but the food is slow and the quality isn't top-notch. Don't expect much.

17/05/2026: The food is particularly good and fresh, certainly cooked by a master, I recommend this restaurant with specialties from this area 🙏🙏🙏, the waitress Lucreția is extraordinarily well prepared, endowed with a lot of patience and very welcoming....what more could you ask for...perfect ♥️♥️♥️

01/06/2026: Lunch on vacation with my wife. The restaurant was recommended to us by friends who had already dined here. The food was delicious, exquisitely flavored, and generous in portions. We had a wonderful time on the veranda with the windows open. The staff was helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money. Congratulations. Highly recommended.

31/05/2026: Total disorganization, terrible service, and lousy food We visited this restaurant last night (Saturday) and the experience was nothing short of disastrous. The place is huge, but despite being half-empty at the start, we were left sitting for half an hour without even being brought water, despite constant reminders. The service is in complete chaos: there's only one waiter taking orders by hand for the entire room (an absurd choice for such a large establishment) and then typing them into the computer. This system created chaos: he reversed the table order, and the dishes arrived at completely staggered times. My companion and I ate our second courses 15 minutes apart. The tension among the staff was palpable, so much so that we even witnessed one of the waitresses throw a tantrum in the dining room: she had a real public tantrum, loudly complaining about yet another kitchen call for paellas that a table had been asking for forever. The quality of the food, unfortunately, is in line with the service: * **Appetizer:** At 6, it was meager, and tasted like a supermarket takeout tray (the seafood salad was visibly "whitened"). * **First Course:** Spaghetti with clams (which the menu specified were lupini beans) literally covered in garlic. * **Second Course:** The "caught" baked fish looked every inch like a low-quality frozen fillet from the beach, almost inedible. The atmosphere in the dining room was awkward, with everyone complaining. The table next to ours is emblematic: after an hour and a half of waiting for a fried food, the owner responded arrogantly and rudely to the customers ("It's Saturday, it's busy, you've already eaten your appetizer so you can wait"), prompting them to get up and leave. When the bill came, a distracted "Is everything okay?" There was such confusion that we could have just gotten up and left without paying and no one would have noticed. Absolutely no value for money, highly discouraged.

24/05/2026: A small shop in the historic center of Ascoli Piceno, entirely run by women with a background and a strong passion for the art of baking. As mentioned, the bakery is very small, but at first glance, where they make their bread, it truly seems like a laboratory from another era. I was very sorry not to try their bread, in fact, the countless varieties, from chocolate to rye, whole wheat, etc., etc. After reading a bit and gathering some information, they use flours from ancient grains, the raw materials are not left to chance. Today I wanted to try two leavened sweets and two savory ones. For the leavened ones, you have to wait a bit: for the croissants and for the Venetian ones, you have to wait at least 9:30. As for the savory ones, I had a pizza with potatoes, asparagus, and pecorino cheese and a puff pastry with cod and zucchini. It's a shame the pizza was a little cold, but otherwise the dough was high-quality, well-leavened and hydrated. The quality is evident, there's nothing to complain about; they know how to do their job. The flours are high-quality—I think they use a blend of flours, including whole wheat or semi-whole wheat—which gives the dough a crispy texture, especially around the edges. The oil was very pleasant, even though it was a good amount, and it created a pleasant effect on the palate. The second savory dish was good, with a bold filling and a nice zucchini-cod combination. The pastry was cooked properly, buttery but not overly so. To be honest, I wasn't crazy about the desserts, aesthetically speaking. They didn't bake very evenly, and the croissant was small. I must say the dough was still a little moist inside because they had just been baked. I waited about 10 minutes because they needed to cool properly before being filled. The dough was halfway between French and Italian. I could taste the butter, but I think they also used eggs because the dough was a bit yellow. The cream was good; perhaps they added a little cream, although I preferred the Venetian one, albeit in a smaller amount. The Venetian one, too, isn't very Instagrammable, but it's definitely a good, soft dough, very similar to that of maritozzi. In conclusion, I spent €11, a good price. I thank the woman for giving me a small red pizza. A good bakery in my opinion, where the choice of grains and raw materials is a must. In fact, next time I'll try their bread.

09/05/2026: Beautiful, sturdy oven. And the baked goods are spectacular: I haven't had a pizza like this (crispy dough, flavor, ingredients) in a long time. Highly recommended.

28/04/2026: The space has recently been renovated, with a modern, unobtrusive style, well-lit, and unobtrusive. The staff is friendly and unobtrusive; they arrive promptly, and your meal is served quickly. The food is good quality; in my opinion, the pizza dough is well-balanced, and the toppings are fresh and full of flavor. The sandwiches are equally impressive, with tasty, well-cooked meat.

19/04/2026: We have been a few times 'for a quick bite' at this place.. and we always stayed a bit longer than we intended. Not because we had to wait, but because we had dessert. Nice place, we will sure be back here

21/12/2025: I've been there a few times for breakfast, it's a great bar.

06/11/2025: Bar with attached restaurant, comfortable atmosphere, clean bathrooms, extremely helpful and attentive staff, excellent food, standard prices.

05/06/2026: During Cantine Aperte Marche 2026, I discovered this business. The visit was beyond positive, thanks to the hospitality and professionalism. A family in life and work, it means unity and brand awareness that they foster. I'll be back!

02/06/2026: I was there for Cantine Aperte 2026. The location is nice, but unfortunately the wines on offer weren't to my taste. The woman in charge of the tastings was spontaneous and friendly; it would probably have been nice to have an expert explain them instead of reading the characteristics from a printed sheet.

30/12/2025: We were in SBT for sightseeing, freezing cold, and looking for a place to warm up for an aperitivo, and we were incredibly lucky. They recommended a good glass of local wine, and we tried some excellent Ascoli olives. My partner, who loves meat even now after we've left, keeps mentioning them, saying they were spectacular (and we've tried several at other places too). The staff was also kind enough to not make a fuss about the bulky stroller (which isn't a given, considering I've been terrified of going out since we had a baby because I don't know if they make us feel uncomfortable). If we ever visit again, we'll definitely be back to try other things.

18/10/2025: A welcoming place in the pedestrianized historic center of SBT. Ideal for tasting excellent wines from their well-stocked cellar, they also offer quality food! The owners are very friendly and always welcome you with a smile. Highly recommended! Poldo

07/04/2026: Excellent value for money. Delicious meat.

01/02/2026: We chose Contrada to celebrate our son's 6th birthday. The place is welcoming, the staff wonderful, and the food was plentiful and high-quality. Even though it was FRIENDS' SUNDAY and there were a lot of people, everything was handled exemplarily. With the tasting menu or à la carte, they manage to satisfy every need. The service is young and impeccable, attentive to everything. In a time when I paid €100 for a pizza for two and a cutlet for a child, it seems like a dream to have an excellent, mouth-watering lunch for a much lower price. We will definitely return to Paolo and his family, because restaurants like this are rare these days.

17/08/2025: Excellent ice cream and very friendly staff. We'll be back!

14/07/2025: I've been to this gelateria once and really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, the gelato scoops weren't overly large but offered a wide variety of flavors, and above all, they were good, though not all were perfect. The prices are reasonable, though whipped cream could be included. The place is cute, and the view of the square is pleasant. Overall, a good experience, though not perfect. I recommend trying it if you're in the area.

17/04/2026: Delicious food. Special wine. They were kind enough to accommodate us with some non-fish dishes, off the menu. Too bad about the lady serving us... when she took our orders, she was clearly annoyed by our group (perhaps because we didn't order the tasting menu?). When we finally asked IF IT WAS POSSIBLE to pay separately, she responded, "Don't do that to me," with her arms outstretched, annoyed, and headed toward the dining room. Well, thank you, we felt truly welcomed, ma'am! P.S. On the other hand, the other gentleman who brought our dishes was very kind and smiling. ...Sometimes a smile is more important than the dish itself.

30/01/2026: I was lucky enough to eat at Capriccio degli dei for New Year's Eve dinner, and it was truly a blessing! The dinner was all seafood, and it was delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh and cooked simply and perfectly, with perfect results! You could taste the freshness of the fish in all its deliciousness. I've rarely eaten so well. I highly recommend it.

11/09/2025: For a few weeks now, it's become our favorite Wednesday restaurant. Excellent service and delicious food. Short wait times and reasonable prices. We recommend the boccolotti with ribs.

07/09/2025: I discovered this restaurant by chance, as it's a trattoria with limited seating (you ALWAYS need to reserve). Some details are surprising, starting with the superlative welcome from the owner and the lady who manages the tables, and then the sheer disbelief when you realize how, with such a miniaturized cooking station, the owner manages to cook (perfectly) all the meat dishes served in the restaurant. It's a charming and very informal atmosphere, with outdoor tables when the weather permits, and indoors in the winter. And what about the good food? All I can say is...try it and believe it!

15/05/2026: Service was top notch and would eat here again

11/05/2026: Top spot, delicious food and super-fast delivery with the great Marco. Highly recommended for any occasion.

12/10/2025: Friendly staff, fast service, everything delicious!

16/09/2025: Always top notch! The most delicious sushi in the world.

05/04/2026: One of the best ice cream shops in the area, with friendly and polite staff. A little pricey, but these are the prices these days, so if I really have to choose, I go where I know it's good.

14/03/2026: Delicious ice cream 😋 very creamy, you can tell the quality of the ingredients! Trifle 🔝

13/12/2025: Great place to eat, lots of delicious food, from "spentura" (a type of pasta from Ascoli Piceno) to cod and cod. On Sunday evenings, I recommend the fried crispelle stuffed with a myriad of fillings. The price is really fair.

02/12/2025: If you want to feel like you're at home with a close friend, Osteria del Cigno is the right place... The appetizers? Carefully prepared, plentiful, and full of love, things that make you leave the daily chaos Behind you... The Gricia...with tonnarello, mind-blowing. The waitress is super friendly and kind, one of those people who welcomes you with a real smile, not a forced one. Inside the restaurant, you can really feel that air of old-time friendship, that is a rare commodity today. Giovanni's relational talent And the kitchen staff, They carry on the true Marche tradition, Right in the heart of Ascoli, His dream that reopens, And you can feel it. You can feel it in every dish, in every detail, in every word, in every proud look when a course comes out. If you want to feel that genuine energy that can't be bought... come here. Timeless harmony... and it's wonderful to be a part of it. 💚🍷🍝
