The staff is very happy to explain the menu which they provide a version of in English if needed and they are also happy to recommend a bottle (or glass) of wine from their selection of eclectic local wines. Everything we ate was delicious! It reminded us of Sunday suppers from years ago when the family would get together for a great meal! This is a very special restaurant managed by very special people! Please make a point of going there when you're in Salerno! Make sure you make a reservation! We recommend going by taxi if your not familiar with the area. The owner was very nice to call for a taxi for us to get back to the hotel.

Da Franco Italian Restaurants…read moreVia Elea 213 84046 Marina, Italy For a tourist/beach town, Ascea is noticeably lacking in a selection of decent restaurants, particularly on "the Corso" or main street. We went to Pizzeria and Ristorante Da Franco with a friend who lives in Ascea. The restaurant is at the far end of Corso from the town center and they have a reasonable €15 menu del giorno (tourist menu; primo, secondo, contorno, coperto, servizio) for dinner. It is quite big inside, but being a nice evening we sat on the small terrace in front on the street. The service was very attentive and good. I went with the menu del giorno and a primo of penne boscaiola (meat, mushrooms, and peas) with scallopina ai funghi (meat scallops in mushroom sauce) as my secondo and patatine (french fries) for a contorno. The boscaiola was creamy, earthy and robust, the scallopine light and savory, and the fries crispy and hot. An excellent meal at just €15. My wife and her friend had pizza which was as good as expected in Southern Italy, particularly anywhere within 100 miles of Naples. The crusts thin, yet sturdy enough to hold the toppings without getting soggy with just the right amount of tomato and other ingredients, not too many and not too few. Da Franco was quite a good value in a beach town with remarkably few options, particularly for those on a budget and is recommended when visiting Ascea.

They do some traditional cuisine with a modern twist for some surprisingly tasty food, like for example macaroni pasta with tuna, an outstanding one. We did a couple of white wine glasses from the region, very reasonable in terms of price and balance. All in all an experience to repeat at least another time.
