From April 24th to May 4th, the stunning Piazza Arringo in Ascoli Piceno once again becomes the vibrant heart of Fritto Misto—an event that has been celebrating the queen of street food, fried food, for 21 years.

"Fried, not fibs!" is the slogan for the 2025 edition, promising to win over the public with an explosion of flavors and a host of exciting new additions. From Italian traditions to international specialties, every bite will be an irresistible journey. Some of the highlights include the iconic olive ascolane, Apulian panzerotti, Sicilian arancini, and the famous Neapolitan cuoppo filled with croquettes, rice balls, and zeppole. Roman favorites such as baccalà, supplì, and zucchini flowers will also be featured, alongside regional delights like Modenese gnocco fritto, Piedmontese agnolotti, and crispy paranza. Those craving global flavors can enjoy tacos, burritos, gyoza, empanadas, and spring rolls. And for those with a sweet tooth, there will be a decadent selection of fried desserts, from cremini ascolani to Sicilian cannoli, Piedmontese bignole, Neapolitan graffe, and fried croissants.

The exciting new addition for 2025 is the Osteria della Cotoletta, where visitors can enjoy some of the world's most famous cutlets—from the classic Milanese to the crispy Wienerschnitzel, and even the flavorful lamb chop. All of this will be paired with artisanal wines and beers from the Marche region, creating a 360° tasting experience.

Fritto Misto isn't just about food—it also highlights sustainability, culture, and innovation. Through expert talks and producer showcases, the event will shine a spotlight on the excellence of the Marche region, with a focus on opportunities for agricultural operators and the Marche potato supply chain. Don't miss the exclusive preview of the documentary Gli ultimi cavatori, which tells the story of the historic Angellozzi family, masters of truffle farming for four generations.
