And if you want to hear the epic narratives of the mariners, tasting traditional dishes,go to one of the many "Seaside Circoli" that will make you taste the mythical sailor coffee with generous rum correction.

A curiosity: the sambenedettese recipe also has a very place of birth: it is the neighborhood called "u labirinto", in the historic center of the town where the sailors once lived. It is a maze of lanes and warehouses that tell its maritime destination: Via dei Calafati, Via del Pescivendolo, Via dei Spagaroli who were those who packed the cordage and fishing nets.

Una curiosità: la ricetta sambenedettese ha anche un luogo di nascita ben preciso: è il quartiere detto “u labirinto”, nel centro storico della città dove dimoravano un tempo i pescatori. È un dedalo di vicoli e di magazzini che raccontano la sua destinazione marinara. C’è via dei Calafati, via del Pescivendolo, via dei Spagaroli che erano coloro che confezionavano i cordami e le reti da pesca. Insomma qui c’è tutto il mondo in una pentola che deve essere rigorosamente di alluminio e a bordo molto alto, perché questo brodetto si fa a strati. È uno dei pochi brodetti in cui il calamaro ha una grande importanza sia per fare il brodo che per dare consistenza al piatto.
