La Grotta dei Raselli In Guardiagrele

Atmospheric, wonderful restaurant. Delicious food, good service. One of the most favorite places in this region.

Excellent restaurant, slightly above-average prices, with thoughtful furnishings and architecture to welcome guests into an elegant cave-style setting. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, while the menu offers interesting choices, both modern and traditional. The quality of the cuisine is good, perhaps a little on the "meager" side when it comes to appetizers (€15 for the cured meats appetizer, but it was a plate with very few slices for that price). The first courses were excellent (the tagliolini with cocoa are noteworthy: exceptional!), while the second courses were very well prepared, but perhaps a little on the small side (aside from the numerous fibrous/tough parts of the sirloin). All in all, an excellent restaurant, with a vast and interesting wine selection featuring labels closely tied to the local area, and a good culinary experience: well worth the detour. Tip for waiters: sometimes you can't be heard when you describe the dishes!

Excellent restaurant, beautiful location, an experience to do and do again, I highly recommend it

An exclusive, classy location, with attentive service and superb food at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Maître d' Danilo's smile and the housewarming gift—a small aperitif and a bowl of sweets—made our lunch even more welcoming and exclusive. Highly recommended! We'll be back soon...

An exceptional restaurant you wouldn't expect...excellent cured meats, spectacular first courses. Reasonable prices.

Beautiful location and professionalism

Romantic dinner in the cave... a wonderful dinner experience: we chose a selection of cold and hot appetizers; two main courses (guinea fowl and beef), and a mille-feuille cake: carefully selected raw materials cooked to perfection by the young chef, who welcomes and looks after you along with all the very courteous and professional staff. Excellent wine cellar. Yesterday, July 22, 2025, we returned for lunch and, in addition to confirming the dishes (we chose cod appetizers and an amazing cod stew), we finished with a selection of excellent desserts, in which we were delighted to appreciate the moderate use of sugar to leave room for the main ingredients. Thanks to the young taster Cristian, with whom we appreciated the excellence of Franco, the owner's cellar, including the highly recognizable and typical aromas of the new 2021 Trebbiano by Valentini and a W. & J. Graham's port, or simply Graham's, an excellent port wine producer. One of the most important port names: consider that Graham's must declare a vintage for the year for it to be considered vintage by the port industry. Thanks to everyone at Grotta dei Raselli for the new experience!

Abruzzo always has pleasant surprises in store. A country restaurant on a road that runs through the area between Bocca di Valle and Guardiagrele. The elegant and modern dining room, with the option of a table in the cave, features a wine cellar. Attentive, friendly, and professional service, with a menu featuring dishes featuring quality local produce. The bread basket, with two variations, was also excellent. I tried the chitarrina pasta with meatballs and the grilled lamb: both excellent. The price was consistent with the quality, without being overpriced. Even though it was 2:00 PM, there was no problem seating us.

Il locale è accogliente e moderno, con qualche scivolata di gusto nell’arredo. Peccato, perché tutto il resto è eccellente. Il personale è giovane, preparato e molto gentile. La cucina è tradizionale ma alleggerita da note innovative e rispetta pienamente le più alte aspettative, senza scadere nel “ricerchismo” artefatto ed esasperato. Una nota di merito particolare per la carta dei vini, non eccessiva, ma solida e per la competenza del sommelier, giovane e molto appassionato. Ben rappresentato il territorio con materie prime di eccellenza e i migliori vini. Rapporto qualità prezzo davvero eccellente. Merita assolutamente la visita
