Al Vecchio Teatro con Camere In Ortona

Aside from the beautiful sea view just steps from the castle, I want to applaud the owner, who is always kind and helpful. Beyond the wines and dishes on display, you can clearly see the passion he puts into his work. We will definitely return. The food is excellent.

We went for lunch today and it was a pleasant discovery: excellent food, quick and courteous service, plus we delighted in a breathtaking view from the terrace directly on the oriental and to conclude Adamo (the manager) served us with extreme kindness and wisdom, we will definitely be back!

We happened to be there for lunch while three of us were strolling by. Attracted by the panoramic view, they reserved a table for us on the veranda. Excellent food, exquisite and very fresh fish, and delicious gnocchi handmade by the owner. The owner is superb, very friendly, and a true host. He even gave us a chili pepper he picked himself this morning, which we had carelessly left on the table. If we ever find ourselves in Ortona again, we will definitely stop by. 5 well-deserved stars

Fantastic service, delicious food. An absolute must-try!

During my vacation in Abruzzo, I dined at this restaurant a total of eight evenings. Excellent selection. The owner was very kind and helpful. The dishes were both a feast for the palate and the eye. I tried the entire menu, even multiple times. The calamarata was excellent, and the grilled fish was top notch. All the appetizers were interesting, especially the raw ham. The price was reasonable for the quality. Be careful, don't expect generous portions like those at a village fair. Ordering two courses, perhaps even dessert, won't leave you hungry.

Nice place but with excessive prices we asked for a seafood salad and it was a very poor dish and not very good and a grilled fish 4 pieces more or less raw even 25 euros however in the end for 2 dishes we paid 59 euros a disgrace practically we were not able to eat almost anything I strongly advise against it first scam as soon as we arrived

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!!
