Caffe' Aurora In Roseto degli abruzzi

02/11/2025: The place feels warm and welcoming, yet has a very vintage feel. Our last guest arrived at 9 PM, and after ordering shortly thereafter, we were served appetizers at 10 PM and main courses at approximately 10:40 PM, after everyone had ordered the same course: a platter and mixed roast. The restaurant manager/owner was friendly and polite, but the waitress who served us was a bit too casual. I'll start by saying that I'm all for simplicity and cheerfulness, especially in the village, but let's avoid describing dishes to customers with food still in their mouths, and above all, let's remember to bring drinks if the place is half-empty. Luckily, the cured meats and meat were truly delicious, although after the long wait, we would have preferred slightly larger portions for the bill. I'd avoid classifying half a potato per person as a side dish and charging so much for it, because despite the quality of the food, the timing, the service, and the size of the portions, at a whopping €33, made this experience forgettable and unrepeatable. Silvi Alta is a beautiful place, but like many towns in Abruzzo, it clearly needs to learn how to treat its guests. If we continue like this, we can forget about tourism, and I say this as a proud Abruzzese.

30/08/2025: Vecchia Silvi is a must-see: typical Abruzzo cuisine, with perorare, pasta alla teramana, arrosticini: perhaps a little expensive, but you can eat with a breathtaking view
