Ristorante da Paolino
Pescocostanzo, L'aquila
03/01/2026: Gorgeous setting, impeccable and super friendly service… amazing food!
Incredible pasta and unforgettable cream.
30/12/2025: Reading the various reviews, I find myself perfectly aligned with the difficult, sometimes impossible, reservations. Unfortunately, often with less than friendly phone and in-person responses. Having made this necessary introduction, I can only say positive things about this restaurant, provided you manage to find a free table, which we did last winter, and by the most fortuitous of circumstances (after trying to book by phone for about a month). Every first and second course, the desserts, the wine list, everything is sublime. The reputation is well deserved. The village of Pescocostanzo, as you leave the restaurant, is absolutely enchanting in winter, and that adds to the picture.
Update 12/29/2024
After multiple attempts to book, including in person, we were unable to eat.
Update 12/30/2025
For the second year in a row, after repeated attempts, it is impossible to eat at this restaurant.

La Bandiera
Civitella casanova, Pescara, 30-45€
03/01/2026: Exceptional!
A fantastic experience, dishes with authentic flavors and attentive and knowledgeable staff, a truly amazing experience.
30/12/2025: Nestled in the green countryside of the Alto Pescarese area, La Bandiera confirms its position as one of the most interesting addresses in central Italy. The Michelin-starred restaurant welcomes guests with a refined and understated atmosphere, surrounded by rural views that reflect the authentic soul of Abruzzo.
The service is punctual, attentive, yet never intrusive: a difficult balance to achieve, contributing to the sense of welcome and familiarity that permeates the room from the moment you enter.
We chose the "Countryside and Sea" tasting menu (€100, drinks not included), a menu whose price alone suggests a philosophy focused on affordable quality.
Dish after dish, the tasting reveals a cuisine focused on local ingredients, without excessive creativity for its own sake. No kidneys, no pigeon: here, the land takes the lead, with sincere pairings and distinct flavors.
Among the courses, the Artichoke Absolute stands out, an off-menu addition that proved to be the true star of the evening: a harmonious dish, technically impeccable, and intensely regional. Overall, the quality is truly astonishing, especially considering the average price (about €8 per dish, compared to the overall offering).
The only misstep comes with dessert. The "Gran Sasso" dessert, inspired by the iconic mountain of Abruzzo, isn't convincing: an ambitious idea that, however, lacks balance and coherence with the preceding menu. Yet, in a perfect dinner, dessert should be the most pleasant memory. The small pastries are also uninspiring: three centerba-style pastries may seem excessive, especially for those who don't like or consume alcohol.
Aside from these details, La Bandiera remains a top-notch gastronomic experience, with a nearly unbeatable value for money in Central Italy. It's worth a visit for anyone who wants to discover a cuisine that manages to be both "starred" and deeply distinctive.
Finally, praise goes to the maître d'—likely the chef's son—for his courtesy and attention to detail: the choice to offer an additional dish, a rare gesture at establishments of this caliber, demonstrates a human approach that completes an already memorable dining experience.

La Luna nel Pozzo
Elice, Pescara
22/12/2025: A very beautiful atmosphere, with attention to every detail. High-quality ingredients, and the dishes are well-balanced and delicious. The wine list is excellent and offers a wide selection! The staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming. I even went with my dog, who was made very welcome. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it! 😊
19/12/2025: The dedication with which they carry out their work is evident as soon as you enter this restaurant. The door is adorned with stickers displaying titles, awards, and accolades, including a Michelin-recommended restaurant, which will continue through 2026; this detail immediately gives a glimpse of the quality you'll encounter. The interior is elegant and welcoming, with attention to detail that creates a pleasant, yet understated, atmosphere. The dishes fully meet expectations: balanced flavors, clean presentation, and ingredients treated with great respect.
The cover charge is €6, which I consider reasonable given that it includes an entrée and a pre-dessert. Also, keep in mind that there's no extra charge for additional bread. Nothing to complain about. A truly worthwhile place, and one I highly recommend.
