This restaurant is a fun place for lunch if you do a day-trip to Loreto from Assisi. We drove along the coast for about a half-hour or forty minutes, then started climbing through various switchbacks (it is interesting being on a bus going up those switchbacks.) After a great deal of climbing, we started going down, and quickly, till we came to a place just above the La Capannina restaurant. We ate at this lovely restaurant right on the sea in Porto Nuovo, where we had risotto for a first course (vegetable for me, with shellfish for Mark), followed by a main course (grilled vegetables for me--tomato, eggplant, and zucchini with balsamic vinegar and olive oil), and fried fish and seafood for Mark, with smelts and calamari and some other fish. We had panforte for dessert, a custard with caramel sauce (much like a very good flan). We enjoyed a couple bottles of Verdicchio Tufico 2000, which was a great wine that they poured freely for our group.
The food was quite wonderful throughout, although the mixed fried seafood, which was very light for being deep-fried, did include some unusual kinds of seafood. Eating off the menu, instead of from a pre-set meal, would resolve this issue nicely.
The restaurant is located right on the sea, with fantastic views, and overlooks a lovely beach.
