The story
JustUs, the creators who documented La Casetta di Campagna, call it “the best value for money we've ever found,” with a fixed menu at €12 serving huge portions and decent quality. This rustic, no-frills trattoria in Ascoli Piceno is a classic hole-in-the-wall where locals go for an unfussy meal. The atmosphere is true and local—exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble upon in the Marche countryside.
The standout dishes include the olive all'ascolana and two versions of maccheroncini di Campofilone: one with ragù and the “magro ascolano” style, both earning thumbs-up from JustUs. They also praised the pollo rotolato intorno alla pancetta and the patate al forno. For an affordable, hearty meal that doesn't skimp on regional character, this is a winner.

MANGIAMO nella TRATTORIA DA CAMIONISTI più ECONOMICA di ASCOLI · @ 23:35
This place offers the best value for money we've ever found: a fixed menu at 12 euros with huge portions, decent quality for the price, and a true local, rustic atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Dishes mentioned
Ascolana Olives
These olives are huge, very hot, and packed with meat. They have more meat than olive compared to others I've had. Crunchy outside and soft inside. Delicious.
Maccheroncini di Campofilone al Ragù
These maccheroncini di Campofilone with ragù are decent, not excellent. The pasta is perfect, great texture. The sauce is thick but a bit liquid, you taste the tomato, not too acidic. For 12 euros it's more than fine.
Maccheroncini di Campofilone al Magro Ascolano
These maccheroncini with magro ascolano are good and spicy. The pasta is wonderful. I thought it would be a meat sauce, but it's made with tuna and anchovies, olives, parsley, tomato. Very flavorful.

Sausage
The sausage is good, maybe a bit overcooked, but I like it well-cooked, so it's fine.
