Hosteria la vecchia lanterna In Ortona

Nice restaurant, good food, family atmosphere, fair prices. Highly recommended.

We ordered two appetizers and two fish main courses, a side dish, and wine. Everything was excellent and served courteously. Well done!

Everything was very good. A welcoming place... excellent food.

Restaurant serving typical local cuisine. Good food, both meat and fish. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Recommended!

Excellent restaurant serving both traditional cuisine and unique recipes. It's a quiet place, with only a few outdoor tables, so reservations are recommended. There are several air-conditioned indoor tables.

A family-run place that makes you feel almost at home. Neat, clean, and the staff are very friendly. This inn has fused Ortonese cuisine with Roman influences, and I must say the combinations aren't bad at all. I've tried every dish on the menu, and I must say that each one has its own unique character. Definitely worth a try. Highly recommended.

At the old lantern, you eat by candlelight; in fact, there are lots of lanterns with lit candles inside. Because the light is very dim, a blind woman accidentally ate some fake leaves decorating the table. She continued to eat the other diners' food because, unfortunately, she couldn't see hers, and she continued drinking from her dog's bowl. Something a bit embarrassing. At which point, we all asked the waiters to turn on the light. They replied that they didn't have electricity because they live in the wild; the water they drink is actually rain, and the wine is just crushed and sweetened grapes. They cook the food over a bonfire in the kitchen (and here we understand why it's so scorching hot). What can I say? It's a truly unique experience. I'm giving it 5 stars because, in their own small way, they were honest, and that should make them soar to the top. Long live honesty, long live the candles in the lanterns, and long live the rain in the glass.

Historic trattoria with a typical menu, excellent mixed fried fresh fish, the rest tasted average.
