Osteria Del Cigno - ASCOLI PICENO

Small restaurant with very friendly and welcoming staff. Outdoor seating (off the street) at picnic tables that we were unable to use because of the rain. No menu but our server (probably the owner) took very good care of us! With his limited English he asked about our preferences in wine and brought a nice bottle to the table. He also suggested some hot and cold starters and they kept coming! He organized two starters for the three of us. We had stuffed fried olives, a quiche, hard cooked eggs with roe, a soft cheese, polenta with cheese, sausage balls with beans, a ham/cheese roll up pastry, toasted bread with a meat spread, etc. A nice relief from pasta. Everything was wonderful! One of the better lunches we had in Italy! And the price was very reasonable. Would return!

The restaurant is located next to the main square in Ascoli. The rooms looks like an Isteria like was long time ago, minimal and small. The owner is very pretty and you can speak with him to have the best food. The antipasti are so much... but don’t forget to eat local pasta and beef. Get the wine house that is very good and genuine. Credit card is accepted. So, enjoy your meal.

I am from Ascoli Piceno and unluckily I have never been in this restaurant before. I decided to go there with some friends and we were all surprised: excellent food, quiet place, the owner was very kind and, even if they had no menu.. all the choices done were delicious. It's a small place with a intimate atmosphere.. I absolutely recommend it, it's in the city center and you can eat very well with a very reasonable budget!

Eccellente. Abbiamo diviso tagliatelle ai funghi squisite, agnellone arrosto con verdure a forno, straccetti di manzo con pomodorini e rucola, accompagnandoli con un calice di vino.

Era la seconda volta che andavo all'Osteria del Cigno. La prima tutto era andato bene: cibi buoni locale caratteristico, personale simpatico, prezzo giusto. Questa seconda volta grande delusione cominciamo dal prezzo: eccessivo! Un antipasto della casa, un primo con sughetto semplice, un arrosto (due salsicce, un fattina di maiale e arrostici), vino: ..troppo!!! Troppo per una osteria, troppo per la qualità di ciò che s'è mangiato. Anche se si volesse togliere il vino (del quale è stato raddoppiato il prezzo di mercato) resta in conto esagerato. Sarà la stagione turistica che sta finendo e si vuol rastrellare tutto il possibile? Non è una gran mossa. Consiglio di ridimensionare i prezzi e non proporre nell'arrosto gli arrosticini: durissimi!
