The restaurant "All'Incontro" consists of two rooms united by an arch, a terra cotta floor, vaults in form of a cross with bricks, the old background of an antique wine shop, restructured and modernized only as far as necessary in order to keep it comfortable in every season.
The kitchen is always well treated and rigorous, but also original, and able to pass with all ease from very rapid, simple and customary dishes to more refined dishes, which are based on old traditions.
The restaurant is above all characterized by its attentive care in choosing the ingredients; especially the fish is chosen daily at the "fishers of confidence".
After the hors d'oeuvres you can e.g. enjoy the following dishes: risotto perfectly cooked, different typical regional or sailor's dishes but also original creations like "spaghetti alla chitarra" with "batti-batti" (a small and quite rare home-grown kind of lobster), "chicche" with prawns and asparagus, during the right season "caramelle di anatra" with sable's sausage and green pepper, etc.
Also the main courses vary according to the season and the products' availability; you can enjoy e.g. the following dishes: fillets and chops prepared in different ways, duck's chest, and on certain evenings, a big portion of mixed stew with a lot of different sauces, special meat types like e.g. kangaroo, bison and ostrich, but also dishes for a special occasion like e.g. an excellent "rabbit all'ischitana", etc.
The fish dishes include grilled fish, fish prepared in the oven with Mediterranean aroma, "guazzetti", as well as tasty soups.
Not only the most prestigious dishes (excellent and often rare crustaceans, like e.g. "granseole" during the season and delicious "coquillages") are prepared with the greatest attention, but also the dishes based on less ordinary fish ("scorfano", "ricciola", moray or the unforgettable local suggestions like anchovies and potatoes). Moreover, don't forget about the mushrooms from the Apennines, and the truffle from Alba, which we offer during the season, and which are prepared in a way to underline their flavor and taste even more.
