I migliori ristoranti in Ascoli piceno

09/02/2026: This is a restaurant in San Benedetto del Tronto where I often go and which I greatly appreciate for its informal and convenient format: you order at the counter, then sit down and the staff brings everything directly to your table. The menu focuses primarily on excellent quality fish sandwiches, always delicious and accompanied by chips, with extremely quick preparation times. Beyond the sandwiches, the other one-dish options are also worth a try, such as the tuna steak or swordfish, always well-executed. The wine list isn't extensive, but the labels are local and well-selected, in keeping with the restaurant's concept. The atmosphere is deliberately very informal, ideal for a relaxed lunch or dinner without too many formalities. They also offer takeout, which I've used several times, especially from the Via Abruzzi location, where the format is the same and the staff is always very kind and helpful. A reliable place to visit, a pleasure.

18/01/2026: Unfortunately, this time the experience was very disappointing. I ordered a tuna burger sandwich that was so chewy it was inedible. I mentioned this to the waiter, who offered me another sandwich with baby octopus, but they were also chewy. I ate it reluctantly just to keep myself from starving. I also asked if it was possible to remove the fresh tomato from the sandwich and replace it with another ingredient, but they denied it, which I found inflexible. It's a real shame, because I often eat here on weekends and have never had any problems in the past. I hope this is an isolated incident, although for some time now I've noticed a noticeable decline in the quality of the ingredients, from the bread to the rest of the ingredients. In any case, I won't be returning because the next day I had a terrible stomachache and I'd prefer not to repeat it.

27/11/2025: The staff is extremely friendly and the owners are super helpful, kind, and personable. Excellent pizza! Excellent value for money! Highly recommended.

21/08/2025: Very good food, amazing pizza. Super friendly staff. Very fair prices. Definitely a recommendation. Update August 2025: The burgers are also great! The fried zucchini is also amazing. The salads are excellent by Italian standards! Dessert – the Nutella pizza is delicious!

18/10/2025: The beer selection at The Beer Shop is enviable: if you're stuck for choice, owner Nelson will surely be able to recommend the right one for you. To quote Ollivander's from Harry Potter: the beer chooses the wizard! For a little background, literally next door is Affianco, where you can enjoy bruschetta, fried food, and other delicacies. There's indoor seating and an outdoor veranda for sipping your beer and observing the vibrant local wildlife.

17/09/2025: Small selection of gluten-free beers. Could be expanded.

01/11/2025: We discovered this bar while staying at the "Acquapazza" property. I recommend it; the croissants are fresh, and the cappuccino is perfectly frothy. I'll definitely be back.🫶

29/09/2025: Good pastry shop, informal service

08/10/2025: The hotel is in a great location right on the beach. The staff is very friendly. The room was comfortable, but the bathroom was small and uncomfortable. Breakfast was varied, but dinner was quite limited in terms of food and selection.

24/08/2025: I stayed at the Jerry Hotel in Grottamare and had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, and the food was delicious and plentiful. I'm celiac, and everything on the menu was served without any problems. I highly recommend it and would do it again.

13/11/2025: In my experience, unfortunately, Cecaloni, like egg pasta and Ascoli olives, has a difference...and a price! Anyway, the food is good here...(they say)

05/09/2025: I would have expected something better given the reviews. The place isn't bad for a quick bite, but the prices are a bit high. In our case, a vegetable lasagna, three rice-stuffed tomatoes, and four battered zucchini flowers, plus a can of orange juice, cost €35... a shame.

04/01/2026: Cappuccino €2.20. Soy milk €2.50...a steal!!!!! (Legalized) Served after a 30-minute wait, and the cappuccino wasn't even hot. Barely warm. Avoid this bar at all costs. In fact...for the public good, they should close it down!!! 😡

03/01/2026: The coffee, desserts, food, and aperitivo were excellent. Sometimes—and I mean sometimes—the service was a bit lacking, probably because there were so many customers when I went. For example, they told us to sit down and say a waiter would come, but he never showed up.

26/10/2025: Convenient pizzeria outside the historic center. The pizza is good, with generous toppings. Fast and accurate service. The bill is absolutely fair.

25/10/2025: I'm sorry we didn't like the pizza. We don't know if it had problems with leavening and/or cooking, but we can't really call what we ate pizza; it was closer to a piadina, and then again... As for the rest, the sandwiches weren't anything special either. Lastly, the wait for our food was quite long. Honestly, I wouldn't go back.

03/10/2025: Renovated, brightly lit location with a full display of flavors, available for dine-in or take-out. A wide selection of fruit and traditional ice creams, my favorite is hazelnut/Nutella + cream (free for everyone). The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. There are no tables inside, but it's located under a portico with tables in case of bad weather. There's a small square in front and parking to the side, including wheelchair-accessible parking. Closed during the winter months. Recommended ice cream shop.

21/08/2025: Decent gelato, free cream only on cones and cups (if you order a tub, you pay separately!). The only variable that, in my opinion, significantly impacts the quality of the experience is the service: if you find the right people, it's fine, including smiles and jokes. But if you run into a couple of girls who think they're the only ones who have it, well, you're guaranteed ice cream poisoning! Like me tonight... To those who work in front of the public: don't do it if you have to talk back and greet customers who seem like you're doing them the favor of serving them. We'll give you the money, and we're more polite here than you are! The service is worth it, so overall, 3 stars, unfortunately!

14/09/2025: Very nice place, although the nearby viaduct and the houses under construction next door take away a bit of the poetry. What can I say... I probably made a mistake with the selection of appetizers because they're like so many coitus interruptus 😄: you try a product, think it's good, start to enjoy it, but it's already gone because it's just a bite when I'd like to stuff myself. I definitely don't think it's for you if you want to try typical Marche cuisine, a bit rustic, with a strong emphasis on first courses and meats. They're all tastings somewhere between creative and DOP. I ordered tagliolini with lemon and sausage because I was hungry, and honestly, they only tasted of... oil; I was expecting something more flavorful. Another thing: I didn't like the oil they use on the toasted bread. I repeat, the place is very nice; there's usually no buzz, people speak quietly at the tables, the service is fast, and the wine list is excellent; they have some very good bottled wines. But I don't think I'll go back, I have more "villager" tastes 😄.

17/08/2025: Excellent restaurant, beautiful location, and excellent food. Recommended.

05/11/2025: Good seafood with decent price. Selection available was limited but more due to time of year and they had a big party the night before. Limited seating, no outside seating.

01/11/2025: Simple, yet excellent, fish dishes. Not the cheapest, but definitely recommended.

07/12/2025: Everything was fine, both the stay and dinner. Breakfast was excellent. Friendly staff, everything was great. Recommended.

14/11/2025: I ate there on a Sunday, in a gazebo with a lot of people. Simple place. Slow service, unmotivated staff. All the food was good except the dessert.

06/09/2025: Bathroom in an excellent location on the beaches of Grottammare

29/08/2025: I had a great time, everyone was good, kind, excellent prices!!

27/12/2025: Everything is good and authentic, the staff is kind and welcoming!! The prices are reasonable 😂

11/10/2025: Always the best at Alfredo's...
