Cipria Di Mare - TERAMO

We 'd been meaning to try this restaurant for ages and when Teramo was 'fully booked ' recently we thought we 'd stop by and try. There is a casual dining area adjacent to the pesceria, which was very busy and looked like typical local cuisine, however we opted for the fine dining area which is further along, with a separate entrance. Having been past it many times it always looked a bit formal and 'empty ', however although there were only three tables occupied it was quite cosy and intimate. The chef, Alessandro served each table personally, explaining what his latest creations were, the menu bore little resemblance to what was actually on offer! I had a great prima of spaghetti with king prawns, very light and totally delicious! My husband had a classic insalata di mare which was also fab. We chose a John Dorey for main, although didn 't actually see it. IT WAS HUGE! And really too big for the two of us...although we did eat it all. : Baked al forno with potatoes, classically done and beautiful. Wine was okay, though more expensive than other restaurants in Teramo for the exact same bottle. So overall, a good rescue for the evening and a delicious meal in a warm environment, with personal and attentive service. I 'd go back again without hesitation, but ensure I saw the fish first, and chose my wine carefully. From a value perspective, considering the fish was 1.3kg it was on par with other fine dining restaurants.

Culinary experience absolutely to do. I'll be right back.

Excellent, the chef patron alessandro and the girl in the room are excellent professionals.
