Da Concezio In Lettomanoppello

Excellent trattoria with truly delicious dishes. If you're in the area, you have to try it.

Even with the new management it remains the same restaurant as always

They reopened after Concezio's passing. His wife is still in the kitchen. A new menu has been created, offering two fixed-course options of meat and cod, in addition to the same à la carte dishes. The atmosphere has remained the same as before. The cod menu was chosen. The appetizers didn't taste like cod, while the sagne and chickpeas in white sauce and linguine with tomato sauce were just okay. The cod and peppers, with roasted peppers and sweet peppers from Altino, were excellent. I'll be back for the goat.

A family atmosphere, a cabin surrounded by greenery, and a large fireplace always lit to provide warmth and comfort (...necessary for cooking), make this trattoria unique. Traditional home-cooked cuisine. Matteo, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Concezio, is a young, well-mannered, attentive man who truly knows how to tempt his guests. Typical Abruzzo food, homemade pasta, grilled meats. Everything is very good, although the real specialty is the cod-based cuisine (linguine with cod sauce, cod & potatoes, roasted cod). Excellent!

The appetizer was disappointing, but the food was good.

The place is very rustic, the prices are not very high but they do not reflect the poor quality of the food

Beautiful place, delicious food, and the owners will win you over! We'll definitely be back.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would... but it still wouldn't be enough. The menu reads on the cover: KEEP THE BEST, REINVENT THE REST. And I think that's the gist of it. I dined here purely by chance, while testing the waters for a typical local trattoria (staying in Roccamorice). From the outside, it doesn't look like anything special, but I think that's its advantage: once you sit down, you're overwhelmed by a very familiar yet innovative spirit (as the excellent menu states). You can choose one of the two set menus, cod or traditional, or order à la carte. I chose the set cod menu, as it's a specialty of this trattoria, which has been around for almost 50 years. Young Matteo, grandson of the founder, has courageously reopened the restaurant, blending tradition (his grandmother reigns supreme in the kitchen) with modernity. Very generous portions: the set cod menu includes seven appetizers, two first courses, and a second course. At an incredibly competitive price. But the real surprise is the drinks, which can be refilled at no additional cost. 10 for courage, commitment, and heart. Highly recommended!

Everything was excellent, traditional dishes. It's worth a visit and even a detour if you're passing through.

A small trattoria near Lettomanoppello. In addition to traditional Abruzzo dishes, the restaurant offers a cod-based menu. We opted for a series of cod samples, some first courses, and a fish-based second course. The appetizer consisted of a series of small cod appetizers, including cod salad with potatoes and spring onions, farro and cod salad, cod parmigiana, cod meatballs, cod with mushrooms and courgette gratin, and battered cod. Overall, the dishes were good, although some of the sauces overpowered the cod's flavor, and others were a bit dry. For first courses, we ordered sagne pasta with chickpeas and cod, gnocchi with mushrooms, peas, and bacon, and spaghetti alla chitarra with cod. The sagne were very good and flavorful, as was the spaghetti alla chitarra, while the gnocchi were fairly average. The portions are very generous, so I recommend sharing if you plan on ordering something else. To finish, we had the cod stew with potatoes and the grilled cod with peppers, both very good. Overall, we ate well, with unique and flavorful dishes. The only criticism is the excessive seasoning in some dishes, but that's a matter of personal preference and the seasonings are high-quality, like those you'd expect from a trattoria. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the service was a bit slow. Good value for money.
