La Taverna dei Pini In Ortona

everything delicious, Silvana the best cook in the world, homely atmosphere ♥️

Authentic food prepared freshly according to tradition. Truly good. Rustic atmosphere. Clean garden and waiter/owner. Exasperated and overworked waiter/owner. Sometimes friendly, sometimes intrusive.

Intrigued by the reviews, we went to this place for dinner. It's definitely not for those looking for elegance or refined dishes; you need the right spirit. The owner, "the uncle" as he calls himself, is a character who churns out jokes and comments left and right. The owner's mother is in the kitchen, and what can I say... the cooking is like grandma's, authentic dishes that truly taste like home. Everything was delicious!! We shared a generous house appetizer, 12 arrosticini, desserts of the day, water, and coffee. All for €50.

A special place! Practically at your mother/grandmother's house, and your uncle who welcomes you with genuine kindness and love for his work. The food is plentiful but above all delicious. Flavors you almost can't find anymore. What a wonderful experience. It will be a wonderful memory to cherish ❤️

We stopped for lunch, and the welcome was lovely. We felt right at home. Homemade food, all delicious and plentiful.

Rustic setting surrounded by fields. Simple, authentic food. Special thanks to the owner's mother for overseeing the kitchen. The owner is a friendly and outgoing person. She made us feel at home.

A simple and authentic restaurant, nestled in the tranquility of the countryside. The cuisine is all homemade, truly excellent, using quality, locally sourced ingredients. Kudos to Mamma Silvana, a fantastic chef, and to Gianluca, a delightful host and a master at welcoming and entertaining guests. A place where you eat well and feel right at home. Highly recommended!

A truly distinctive restaurant, thanks to the cheerful owner. EXCELLENT food, reasonably priced.

We've been on vacation for a week, but this was the best night of our trip! Gianluca is a warmhearted person we'll always remember, as are his authentic and simply delicious dishes (and at very fair prices!). He and his mother truly know how to prepare quality dishes, and eating here is like eating at your grandmother's. The flavors are authentic and wholesome, from the land, good meat, bread, and homemade pasta. From appetizers to first courses, all the way to main courses, everything is mouth-watering. Little formality and lots of substance... plus a lot of hospitality, the genuine kind, not the ostentatious or forced kind. Unfortunately, we're not from the area, but if we ever return, Taverna dei Pini will be our first stop. Thank you so much for welcoming us with such kindness, sincerity, and friendliness. We will remember you forever! Giorgia and Alberto

Excellent, home-made cuisine, friendly waiter and owner
