Del Corso — Restaurant in Ascoli Piceno

A real gem of a restaurant that seems like a secret find. I had eaten here in 2007 and remembered having an amazing meal. Returning to Ascoli Piceno at the end of June, I was determined to revisit Del Corso and was not disappointed. The restaurant is located in an untouristed part of Ascoli, which gives it part of its special feel. After so many meals of meat, it was a pleasure to be in a restaurant specializing in fish. We enjoyed a delicious pasta with fish followed by an expertly prepared fritti misti and then fish fillets done in a perfectly favored lemon sauce which we soaked up every bit with lots of bread (and accompanied by a perfectly dressed simple salad as well). Lemon sorbet made for a perfect ending, especially given the heat and humidity. We were thoroughly charmed by the owner/chef, Piera, and her daughter, who served us quietly and professionally with the right amount of humor since our Italian is so bad. With our broken Italian, we had quite the conversation after the restaurant closed. We only wish we would have the opportunity to visit this jewel more often than once every decade...

L’accueil et le service ont été particulièrement charmants, assurés par une jeune femme dont la maman œuvre en cuisine… et quelle cuisine ! Nous avons débuté le dîner par un assortiment d’entrées de poissons, à la fois délicieuses et généreuses. La suite nous a régalés avec des poissons grillés succulents, avant de conclure sur un sorbet au citron absolument exquis — un dessert à ne surtout pas manquer ! Ce dîner ayant été si agréable, nous avons demandé s’il serait possible de revenir le lendemain pour déguster des spaghettis aux palourdes. Nous avons été comblés : des pâtes parfaitement cuites, accompagnées d’une belle et savoureuse quantité de palourdes. Une véritable étape gourmande à ne...
