i have been going to ascoli on and off for many years and when in the peoples square, i always go to cafe meletti, 1st class service and food, it is like going back in time when good service and good manners were common.

Ok go for your one drink to say you drank where Hemingway drank...but that's about it. Drinks were super overpriced and waiters have attitude.

A part of the history of Ascoli,owned for years by the Meleti family now owned by the casa di risparmio,savings bank.Famous for their own made Anisetta Meletti,aniseed flavoured drink similar to Sambuca.Sit outside and watch the folk chatting and taking a stroll up and down The Pizza del Popolo,a must visit for a quick coffee when visiting Ascoli Piceno.

I visited Cafe Meletti a number of times during a recent stay in Ascoli Piceno.

Great building and location, fascinating interior- including the toilets- and impeccable service by smartly dressed staff. But at the end of the day it is just a cafe!

Classic place, feel the atmosphere and enjoy a coffee

Retro styling, cozy feel, and professionally dressed and mannered staff. The neoclassical interior and exterior is composed of many beautiful arches and and pictorial motifs. People come for the anisette but stay for the pastries. Definitely a quick and well rewarded stop while in Ascoli Piceno.
