Restaurants in Ascoli Piceno

Caffè Meletti holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024–2025) and a 4.3 Google rating across more than 3,000 reviews — strong signals for a €€ restaurant on Ascoli Piceno's Piazza del Popolo. The kitchen serves regional Marchigian and maritime-inspired cooking in the historic building where the Meletti aniseed liqueur was created. The terrace with piazza views is the main reason to book; easy to reserve and genuinely worth it at this price point.
