Osteria Del Pozzo - ANCONA

We have tried the menu proposed by the restaurant, based on bluefish. Veru good choice: superb marinated anchoives with orange, very delicate and tasteful; spaghetti with sarda fish and fresh fennel, genuine; then roasted bluefish; good local wine, excellent price including lemon sorbetto. Really a good choice both the restaurant and the menu.

Osterio del Pozzo is on a side street off Ancona 's Piazza del Plebiscito. Our party of 3 got a table without a reservation on a busy Friday night, but to avoid disappointment, I would recommend making a reservation. The menu is mostly seafood, though there is a non seafood section of the menu. And many of the dishes, seafood or not, are more interesting than usual. We started out sharing an appetizer a 'millafoglie ' layering potatoes and creamed baccala. I followed up with ciavattoni a penne like pasta with a variety of crustacians and mollusks i.e. stuff in shells. My wife had a sort of large raviola, stuffed with swordfish (pesce di spada) with clams, pistachios, asparagus, little tomatoes. Our friend had a non seafood pasta, with a sauce featuring ham and peas.... Portions were HUGE! Two of us couldn 't finish. So no desserts! We shared a 7 euro liter of house white that was pretty good. The whole bill for the three of us, came to 57 Euro. Interesting food, well prepared, in large portions, at a good price.

Stopping in Ancona overnight, after spending a few days in Rome, it was refreshing to come across this unpretentious traditional restaurant offering a great choice of fish and meat dishes, together with delicious local wine, at a modest price. Staff were friendly and accommodating and service was excellent.
