04/06/2025: If you're looking for an authentic experience of Abruzzo’s rich culinary traditions, Taverna 58 in the heart of Pescara is a must-visit. Located on the iconic Corso Manthonè, this gem stands out for its refined and innovative take on classic Abruzzese dishes.okok During my visit, I had the pleasure of savoring the Coniglio dei Prati di Tivo, a beautifully tender rabbit dish with fresh herbs that take you straight to the heart of the Abruzzo countryside. The Falsomagro di Vitello Stracotto was another standout — a slow-cooked veal roulade that’s perfectly balanced with a rich, flavorful sauce, offering a true taste of tradition. The Pallotte di Ricotta di Pecora — sheep ricotta meatballs — were heavenly, delicate, and full of flavor, making them a must-try for anyone fond of authentic regional dishes. In addition to these delights, the Tartare Beef prepared at the table is another exceptional dish that showcases the restaurant's attention to detail and fresh ingredients. The Sublime Frittatina, an omelette made with fresh garden herbs and goat cheese, was another highlight that I highly recommend. What really sets Taverna 58 apart, however, is not just the food, but the outstanding service. The staff is exceptionally professional and polite, making each visit feel like a special occasion. Even my furry friend, Pippin, was treated like royalty, being offered a bowl of refreshing spring water from the Maiella, which added a personal touch that truly elevated the experience. Taverna 58 offers a gastronomic journey into the heart of Abruzzo. Every dish tells a story, and every bite is a testament to the culinary excellence of the region. If you're in Pescara, do yourself a favor and pay a visit — it's an experience you won’t forget.

03/06/2025: I am reviewing after my second visit. I tasted both the daily special and the choice from the menu; on both occasions I appreciated an excellent choice of products and good preparation of the dishes. In the era of clownish cutting boards that you see around I say to you: go and try "la fellata" and then you will tell me. And if you like to play you will order with a smile the "maccaroni alla borbonica" only to then be amazed and immediately try to remake them at home. Small but not confusing environment (at lunchtime there are usually calm employees on their lunch break, in the evening a couple of children would be enough to "liven up" the evening). Bathroom in order. Attentive, fast and friendly service. And to finish and define the comment I say that the quality/price ratio is good, especially in relation to the general price increase that you see around; my 5 stars therefore derive from the perfect fit between what you expect from this type of place and what you actually find.

10/04/2025: All excellent, highly recommended

20/05/2025: Appetizers, first and second courses are delicious, superb arrosticini…large, hand-made, they are super…

02/07/2025: We are Luigi and Andrea and we literally got married in this fantastic place! Yes because Villa del Barone is also a town hall and we chose to celebrate our civil ceremony in this wonderful location! My wife and I were looked after and served from the ceremony among the olive trees to the DJ set, a positive experience from every point of view. Hospitality, cleanliness but even more, EXQUISITE food, fish, meat even the VEGAN menu for my wife and other guests something spectacular! Flavors, colors and composition of the dishes superlative! Weeks after our event we still receive compliments for EVERYTHING! Cocktail bar and Gintoneria at the top, super appreciated and last but not least, photo booth and audio booth super nice.. in short we lived a special and unforgettable day together with our families and friends, looked after and served in the best way imaginable! If I could I would get married again today! A location surrounded by greenery with a unique panorama and that even with high temperatures can give you moments of pure relaxation..all supported by a highly trained, professional, precise and impeccable staff. Proud and satisfied to have celebrated not only the lunch but also our wedding ceremony in this fantastic place 🥰❤️🥳

25/06/2025: Beautiful location, ideal for weddings and banquets. Excellent dishes tasted, extremely professional and helpful staff.

04/05/2025: The owner is friendly and very nice, the staff is quick to service and the pizzas are of excellent quality, I recommend it 😉

09/04/2025: A true gem for the city of Montesilvano! The pizza is delicious, prepared with genuine ingredients that can be felt in every bite. The staff is incredibly courteous and professional, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

25/05/2025: Ormai a Farindola non è rimasto più nulla. La tragedia della valanga, il covid, la disattenzione delle autorità locali sta affossando l’economia del paese. E per mangiare sono rimasti aperti due attività; una è Altrocanto di Thomas e Marco. La ristorazione di questo B&B è ormai al top e, pur con poche scelte in menu, può soddisfare ogni palato, egregiamente. Sono contento di venirci e ritrovarmi sempre ottimamente.

10/05/2025: My new favorite restaurant in the area! In this place I found quality, sustainability and attention to every detail. Vegetarian options available and excellent value for money. We'll be back.

31/05/2025: PIADINAS OF AN UNBEATABLE LEVEL. Consumed on the spot, they are unrivaled; on busy days it is worth waiting a few minutes more to have the meat cooked on the spot (pay attention when they prepare a piadina with sausage or hamburger in a few minutes... it means they are pre-cooked and reheated!)

18/05/2025: AWESOME! La Siesta has become a regular stop when I go to Pescara...and it NEVER disappoints me. The only problem with this place is that the piada is so good that I have to fight with myself to not order another. The staff is very quick in their service and very kind...the place, in addition to being very welcoming, is also very clean! The kitchen is open and there is never anything out of place.

15/06/2025: Excellent in all respects. Recommended, definitely coming back.

13/05/2025: Just one adjective, superlative...

03/06/2025: after a sort of appetizer and a very questionable first course we decided to get up, for us we had already reached the limit, in addition the prices were inappropriate, highly inadvisable

18/05/2025: Family run place..here kindness reigns supreme from the room where we are welcomed by the wisdom of Federico and then begin the delicacies of Chef Giordano both owners very prepared..the food is well presented with care using seasonal products, grilled meats ... the sublime fiadone all real treats really compliments. Final note but for us the most important Ileana and Nicola with their presence make the stay in this place even more pleasant. Well done
