We were between Porto San Giorgio and Porto Sant'Elpidio for outlet shopping, and decided to Sant'Elpidio a Mare for a stroll and possibly early dinner. The only place which drew our eye was Ponti Oscuri as they had a menu board outside as well as a couple of tables. We entered and found the dining room in pastel colours was very inviting and the reception welcoming. After being seated in the corner, we looked at the menu again, and were delighted to see salad choices, which was just what we wanted. We ordered the grilled chicken salad, olive ascolane, fritto misto, half litre of Passerina from Montelparo and mineral water. The food was very good and the ambience was relaxing. The bill for 2 came to 29.50 Euro.
As we forgot some sunglasses there, we returned for lunch the next day, having some fresh pasta dishes and a delicious dessert, finishing with coffee. The bill was 34 Euro. Highly recommend this good value osteria, with professional staff and spotless environment.
