Cafe Settantasei In Pescara

11/03/2025: Today, in view of the good weather that was this morning, we went to the Font' Artana restaurant, a place in the heart of the historic center of Piacciano (it is right in the main square of the town), to enjoy a good lunch in the open air. It's impossible not to notice the beautiful period photos hanging on the walls and the various historical objects present inside and in the small garden below, where we ate (do we want to mention the old plow embedded in the olive tree?). The staff, as well as the service was very efficient and kind, I give it an excellent rating I vote for the young lady who assisted us during the meal with the orders and courses and for the friendly owner who never missed the opportunity to "show off" a few jokes and a smile👍. In a place like this the food must certainly be excellent too... and in fact it is; before starting to eat it is the restaurant's habit to bring a welcome appetizer which, personally, didn't drive me too crazy but, if nothing else, it was much appreciated by the others. The appetizers with which we started (one Classic and 2 Hot), were very good and fresh, I give particular praise to the fried pizzelle, hot, artisanal and tasty, and the entremè, done well. The first is certainly my dish I liked it the most: I had the Gnocchi with white duck ragù, extraordinary, it's a dish that I absolutely recommend! The sparone pasta with sauce was also appreciated. Since they were starting to get full, we didn't get a second one, even though they would undoubtedly be good too. For dessert I tried the chantilly with sheep's ricotta, very soft and crunchy, for the biscuit base underneath and a passion fruit ice cream with coconut cramble served in a truly original pair, good. Finished with a good coffee.
