Hostaria del Castello In Ortona

16/03/2025: As a pizza lover I can confirm that it is one of the best (if not the best!) pizzas you can find between Pescara and Chieti. The ingredients are quality and the dough is truly excellent; I recommend you start with the bruschetta, which will already allow you to appreciate the goodness of the seasonings. The menu is very varied, with a wide selection of pizzas and some "special" options that you will hardly find elsewhere. The staff are extremely friendly and the service very good. The only small flaw was the wait between the appetizers and the pizza, which was understandable considering the large turnout of the evening (I specify that it was Saturday evening). However, I can assure you that pizza this good is definitely worth the wait! As for the location, the place has the typical appearance of an Abruzzo country restaurant: from the outside it might seem modest, but inside it is very welcoming and well looked after. Furthermore, the wonderful painted tiles displayed on the walls certainly add a particular and original touch. Finally, I absolutely suggest you try the almond semifreddo to end on a high note: it's simply delicious!
