Al Vecchio Teatro con Camere In Ortona

Excellent restaurant with a sea view. Very professional service; they brought us an entrée, which was included in the cover charge. They recommended a wine from the Roveri winery, which was very good and a lovely accompaniment to the meal.

A true culinary favorite! Nestled in a discreet yet refined setting, Al Vecchio Theatro is a restaurant that deserves to be known to all lovers of authentic, elegant Italian cuisine deeply rooted in the Mediterranean tradition, with an extraordinary view of the Adriatic and the port of Ortona. We enjoyed the squid pasta. A dish of great finesse: perfectly al dente spaghetti, simply coated in fruity olive oil and enhanced by the salty sweetness of the ultra-fresh squid. A subtle drizzle of pesto adds a herbaceous touch that balances the whole. It's the sea on the plate, without artifice, but with a rare precision. The linguine with fresh tuna and cherry tomatoes. A festival of colors and flavors! The hand-shredded tuna and sun-dried tomatoes give this dish a typically Mediterranean feel. It's rustic, generous, yet subtly balanced: the kind of dish that evokes family lunches by the sea, surrounded by sunshine and a sea breeze. Paccheri with octopus ragu. An explosion of flavor depth. The large, melt-in-the-mouth paccheri are topped with an absolutely divine octopus sugo, simmered for a long time until remarkably tender. The pesto at the bottom of the plate adds a touch of liveliness that awakens the taste buds. A powerful, perfectly mastered dish. We loved the impeccable cooking of the pasta, and the fresh, remarkably prepared seafood. A gem, far from the more visible tourist traps. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant was packed with locals and regulars.

Discovered by chance, we were delighted by the excellent cuisine and above-average service. I highly recommend it.

We went in June thanks to the current owner's former employer. The wine was good, the grill was expensive but unfortunately poor, the first course was very al dente, the seasoning was insufficient, as was the quantity of pasta given the price...unfortunately!! Even the empathy was minimal...perhaps it wasn't the right evening... The view was breathtaking, but it shouldn't be included in the price!!

Very welcoming place, excellent location overlooking the sea. Excellent service. Quality dishes with generous portions and fair prices. Perfect for both hot and cold days.

Very little food on the plate. Very little wine in the glasses. Unsatisfactory value for money.

The guys were very knowledgeable and friendly. The prices, considering you're eating fish, were average. The quality was there. The quantity was absolutely not. If I want to eat little and spend a lot, I'll go to a Michelin-starred restaurant. The octopus calamarata was good, but only two pieces of octopus. The grilled food was good, but truly ridiculous. The location and service were excellent. The rest, no. I'd give it 2.5. I'll leave it at 3 stars.

Best restaurant in Italy , food and wine

Wonderful evening spent with my daughter to celebrate her graduation

The place is very welcoming, adjacent to the beautiful local theater, on the lookout with a relaxing view of the sea. The food is refined and tasty, beautifully presented. The service is impeccable, friendly and accommodating. Absolutely recommended!
