Il Cuoco e il Pastaio

I'm giving it 5 stars because it's the best I've ever had. Special ravioli with ricotta and lemon, delicious. The tagliatelle fritte is out of this world. The fried pasta is a must if you come here.

Everything was perfect! From the warm welcome from Andrea and his mother to the precision and speed of the service. The atmosphere is intimate and meticulously maintained. The food is exceptional in every course: fried tagliatelle, vincisgrassi, stuffed olives, meatballs in tomato sauce, cream gnocchi, and Carnival fritters (frappe). The glass of red wine was exceptional; we'll be back to try the porchetta. Extreme kindness and attention were also shown to a table near us who requested alternatives (no meat, no dairy, etc.). Also suitable for children. Keep up the good work 🔝👍🥳

The restaurant is located on a charming little street in the city center. The takeout format is very versatile: you can choose to take your meal elsewhere or sit down at the restaurant's tables and enjoy it at your leisure. The owner is exceptionally kind. The quality of the food is impeccable: fresh handmade pasta, sauces prepared with local ingredients, and a flexible menu that allows for ever-changing combinations. In short, it never gets old. Considering the price, it's incredibly low. I pop into Il Cuoco e il Pastaio every time I return to Fermo.

Exceptional. This small restaurant in the heart of Fermo offers a unique experience sampling local dishes and products. From fresh, handmade pasta paired with homemade sauces made with top-quality, locally sourced ingredients. More than just a restaurant. The option to order fresh pasta and various main courses and side dishes to go makes it a complete restaurant, suitable for all needs.

An unforgettable culinary experience in the heart of Fermo! Il Cuoco e il Pastaio is a true gem, where the passion for fresh homemade pasta blends with the chef's creativity. Each dish is an explosion of authentic flavors, prepared with premium ingredients. The atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, and the staff is friendly and attentive, ready to offer expert advice. Whether you're a lover of tradition or looking for new flavors, Il Cuoco e il Pastaio will delight you. Highly recommended!

Finally, a great restaurant in the splendid setting of Fermo. Andrea has successfully combined his culinary skills to create a streamlined, fast, and, above all, high-quality cuisine. The first courses are excellent, as are the second courses, prepared with care and passion following local recipes.

My friend and I went for lunch. I'd actually been wanting to come for a while, having heard all the good rumors about this place. I have to say they were all true. The cacio e pepe ravioli were excellent, as were the tortellini with ragù, the Ascoli olives, and the cremini (all homemade). The prices, in my opinion, were fair given the quality of the products. Recommended.

A little gem for lovers of good food nestled in the streets of Fermo's historic center. This restaurant offers fresh egg pasta made strictly by hand, using quality, locally sourced ingredients. A must-visit for those seeking authentic, artisanal flavors.

We went to this place today (where you can also stop for lunch). We bought fresh pasta and sauce. Everything was delicious, freshly cut. The owner puts his heart and soul into it. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and comfortable. Andrea welcomes us graciously, and within minutes, the dishes arrive. A riot of aromas, flavors, and deliciousness, typical of Fermo, and beyond! Absolutely recommended!!!

We visited this restaurant on a Sunday in April, during lunchtime at the Fermo museum complex. A real discovery!! It caught our attention from the outside: the place is intimate and welcoming. You can immediately sense the love and passion that has gone into everything. They currently offer table service, but during peak periods, it's self-service. We had two excellent and sublime first courses with homemade tagliatelle (like all the other fresh pasta) and two side dishes (also delicious). We highly recommend it!!

We ate very well, including typical local dishes we weren't familiar with. The staff was very friendly, and we had a great time. We'll be back.
