"We arrived early in the evening after having scouted the other restaurants in Termoli, but what grabbed us about il Borgo was the unpretentiousness and humble atmosphere that the place had. We sat down and were greeted by our waitress Tonya who told us what was on the menu. Even though we speak some Italian, she catered to our needs and spoke slower or simpler when needed. We ended up ordering the set menu, which is 35 Euros per person, which comes with a bottle of wine, and 4 !!! dishes. We had no idea what to expect, other than the fact that it'll all be freshly caught fish. The wine was perfectly paired with all the dishes we had, quite clearly due to the chef's sommelier status. We loved the wine. All the dishes were served one after the other, we probably only had no food in front of us for a total of 20 minutes of our 3 h stay, and the food was amazing we've very rarely tasted fish that was fresher, tastier and better cooked. There was a table in vicinity to us with two children, and they catered perfectly for them, making two special dishes for the children even though they weren’t on the menu. We were very touched by that gesture. When it started raining, the transfer to the inside of the restaurant was done very smoothly. The service is impeccable, and the owner/chef himself walked around talking to people and telling them about the region, the food and Termoli itself. Overall, we would like to say thank you grazie once again to the owner and Tonya, who made our stay absolutely lovely! We will be coming back again."
