Ascoli Piceno for starters (no pun intended) is well worth a visit. Fantastic architecture and scenery to view. We went at 4.30pm which seemed about right to have look round try various bars and then decide on dinner. The restaurant was not one of the many in the main piazzas, but easy to find. Once inside and sat down as a table for 10 a staffing nightmare we all ordered our meals. This is where being foreign and thinking you know what has been asked for comes back to bite you. We ordered 3 lots of antipasti for the six adults. The children would have to beg on the street till the main course arrived . What can I say the starters came at regular intervals and just kept coming. Little pieces of pasta, mascarpone olives in a lovely coating and my favourite fried custard balls, I kid you not. If in Italy you have tried a bomboloni creme a custard doughnut then these little balls were to die for. This was the problem we were full before the main course but itching to try more. The mains then arrived. Beef dishes lamb cutlets pasta for the children and me I had tagliatelle with zucchini broccoli pig cheek with cheese and other goodies. All agreed that the food was good as were the staff and service. And the price of €148 was to my liking as I paid. Go and enjoy a nice evening meal Amen.
