La locanda del fattore In Chieti

The food was delicious, the place was beautiful, everything was OK except for one small mishap. When I approached the entrance to pay, I simply asked a waitress where to pay... she gave me an ignorant look, telling me, "Wait, can't you see I'm in a mess?" I'd say it wasn't very elegant, but it doesn't matter, the place deserves a solid 10.

The venue is very charming, well-organized, and meticulously maintained. The interior is divided into several small rooms, all clean and tidy, and there's also a lovely outdoor area with a pergola, where we dined. Upon our arrival, seeing as it was raining and windy, we asked if we could sit inside. We were told that everything was full and that if we wanted to stay, we could only dine outside. Once I went to the restroom, however, I noticed an indoor room already set up for a group of about thirty people who would be arriving later. Around the table set up for the event were several other empty and unset tables, which could easily have been made available to guests already present. I understand the need to reserve a room for a party, but in this case, it wasn't truly an exclusive space: it was, in fact, a passageway to the restrooms, so it was anything but private. Not offering those seats meant forcing other customers, like us, to eat outside in the cold, while there was room available inside. The pizzas were good, but the quality was excellent. The service, however, could be improved: for example, the fries were served on a large platter, but without individual plates or accompanying sauces, making the experience a bit uncomfortable. A real shame, because the place has great potential and is welcoming and well-maintained, but the space management and some of the service issues somewhat detracted from the experience.

A quiet atmosphere, excellent raw seafood, not to mention the grilled meats. A wide selection of aged meats and fair prices.

Just a small constructive criticism: you can't place upside-down cutlery and glasses on individual plastic placemats, where everyone rests at least their elbows. Everything else is excellent.

Fantastic place, recommended by the agriturismo where we were staying. The food was top-quality, both the meat and the arrosticini, and the side dishes. The meat was perfectly cooked. The staff was young, friendly, and fast. The price was completely in line with the quality offered. Highly recommended.

What can I say, we ate very well. We brought with us a special guest from Lake Garda who was very happy. Thank you ☺️

What, to add... Thanks again for the welcome.

Cozy place, excellent cuisine....

Maybe the prices are slightly above average but you pay for the quality...
