Trattoria Mafalda - ANCONA

The setting was nice, but defensively could be better taken care. The food, at least the one we ordered, was under standard. However the price was not and we ended in paying 82€ that could have definitely been better spent somewhere else

We were looking for seafood and got so much more. Homemade bread and dolci, limoncello, very nice service, good advice and ofcourse the best seafood. Nice cosy restaurant. Not too loud music and best local white wine. Go go go there!!!

In most restaurants with a beautiful setting, you sacrifice a bit on price and/or quality of food. Trattoria Mafalda manages to score top marks for setting, quality of food, and price... Imagine a dinner setting (a terrace where you're overlooking beautiful hills covered in fields of sunflowers with the sun setting behind them. You order a carafe of wine (it's delicious and a selection of the day's specials, where everything is made by hand, by a fantastic chef who clearly takes pride in his art. A seafood pasta dish that is unlike any you've ever had shrimp, baby tomatoes, bottarga, in an egg pasta... Or the best gnocchi you can remember having spicy, tomato based, with octopus... Or fresh squid stuffed with a light, homemade filling... Then imagine that dessert arrives (even the cookies that come with the coffee are made in house salted cocoa with a hint of spicy? Sugar coated olive oil tarallucci? Yes, please. and the server leaves a bottle of dessert wine on the table for you to share. Now, imagine having all that for 25 euros each.

Quaint little restaurant where one literally dines under the stars on the roof. Food was simple but creative and service was good.

Tutto ottimo. Un menù ricercato e ideale per chi ama il pesce. Pane fatto in casa e dolci spettacolari. Prezzi nella norma e una terrazza fantastica.
