Galleria Perdono In Ortona

10/08/2026: For an authentic, no-frills dining experience in Lanciano's historic center, "Bar Ristorante Il Chiostro" is an absolute must. In my opinion, the highlight is Una Paella d'Autore (A Signature Paella). The true and undisputed star of the evening is their famous Valencian Paella, an explosion of colors and flavors faithful to tradition. As is evident from the richness of the dish served, the rice remains perfectly cooked, enriched by a generous helping of fresh seafood, mussels, succulent shrimp, and peas. A standout offering that alone is absolutely worth the reservation. The location in the village where the restaurant is located is enchanting, simply magical. Dining on their outdoor terrace, nestled among the historic alleys of the village just steps from the center, offers an intimate and evocative atmosphere from another era. The splendid medieval architecture of the area makes the perfect backdrop for a summer evening or a relaxed dinner al fresco. The service is excellent, reflecting the spirit of the restaurant, where the hospitality fully reflects the genuine soul of the establishment, managed by a team of young, cheerful, and very approachable people. The approach is decidedly spartan and genuine, without frills or excessive formality. Despite the busyness and informal management, the owner's helpfulness and friendliness never falter, immediately putting guests at ease. Ideal for those who prioritize the substance of good food and the beauty of the urban panorama.

30/07/2026: My friend Umberto and I stumbled upon this restaurant after a tiring walk, and despite the hour, they welcomed us and treated us to truly excellent dishes, including a choice of starters, main courses, and side dishes. The courtesy, kindness, and helpfulness of the owner and her staff convinced us to return for lunch during our remaining stay in Lanciano. I recommend it to everyone.
