Locanda La Bruschetta In Chieti

29/05/2025: We spent the day and made 'stupid' pizza in open brick oven. (No yeast). Was delicious. Also chicken, covered, and cooked in same open air oven. We made peccorino cheese, tasted wines, toured the farm. Nice people and fabulous, multi-course meal. All grown from this farm.

03/05/2025: A dive into the heart of Abruzzo: Agriturismo Calinoro, a beautiful experience. Imagine a place where time seems to slow down, surrounded by the sweet melody of nature and the intoxicating scent of their beautiful jasmine and lemon trees. This is the Agriturismo Calinoro in Lanciano, a corner of paradise where hospitality blends with the authentic flavors of a peasant tradition. Crossing the threshold, you immediately feel a familiar atmosphere, almost a return to your roots. The aromas that inebriate the kitchen reminded me of my grandmother's gestures, awakening precious memories and a sense of profound nostalgia. The small garden is an oasis of peace and then there is Ciak, that sweet dog who with his silent goodness makes the environment even more welcoming and familiar. I highly recommend anyone passing through Lanciano to treat themselves to a stop in this place. A heartfelt thank you for making me relive the flavors and emotions of my childhood.
