The place was not busy when we came, and food was slow to be prepared. Don't come here in a hurry. But the food was absolutely worth the wait. Dessert was amazing too! We're so glad we came.

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.

A great little pub with one of the best selection of beers in the Cilento region…read more It's marketed as an Irish pub, however most Brits will realise it looks just like a typical, traditional pub with nothing particularly Irish about it. I'm never really sure why pubs abroad feel they need to market themselves as Irish, anyway, I'll just put that down to one of life's little mysteries ;) The beer menus are pretty vast and expect to find an excellent selection of Italian artisan / craft beers and fantastic trappist beers from Belgium and Holland. Price wise, the beer's not cheap and the service can be a bit slow. However, the food is good and the beer is mighty fine and cold. Music can also be a bit lame, with generic music television channels blaring out the latest naff pop hits. Apart from the bad music, Molly's is a great place to quench your thirst and hang out for the night!
