Lucaneria In Pescara

A welcoming and quaint place, with friendly and helpful staff. Generous portions of delicious, traditional Lucanian food. Highly recommended!

We booked this place, which we weren't familiar with, via the form and had a great time. The food and hospitality were excellent. There were four of us, and we ordered a platter, an assortment of Lucanian specialties, an egg 64, a focaccia, three first courses, a beer, a glass of red wine (delicious), a bottle of water, and three coffees for a total of €58. In short, a sumptuous feast for the price of four pizzas and four beers! We're not from Pescara, but if we were to return, we'd definitely book there. Highly recommended! Compliments to the owner and the chef.

Top-quality ingredients. Lots of 100% plant-based options, excellent appetizers, and both first and second courses. Vegan options are also available for dessert. The owner is very kind.

We visited this small but welcoming restaurant. The owner, very attentive and knowledgeable, served us with care and professionalism. We recommend it for traditional Lucanian cuisine.

An intimate restaurant that brings the flavors of home. Everything is handmade by the owner. We tried the Lucanian appetizer, a first course, a second course, and dessert, all delicious. We'll definitely be back.

The place is very small, seating about twenty people. We were passing through and needed to grab a quick bite and leave. Inside, you could smell smoke, as if they were smoking inside. The bathroom is dilapidated, and I even found animals. The table was small for six people, and they didn't know how to fit everything... beer, plates, glasses... limited menu. They were offering a 50% service charge. We ordered four pizzas and a meat dish. They charged us two red pizzas for children, with nothing on top, just tomato sauce, like two elaborate pizzas, or 10 liters each! I understand the 50%, but it's not fair to increase the price of something just to raise money, drinks and covers aside from the discount. The pizza was good anyway.

The restaurant is small, intimate, clean, and tidy, a bit cramped and unsuitable for large tables, but better suited for 2-4 diners. Jacopo is an excellent chef who offers flavorful and harmonious dishes, based on fresh, high-quality ingredients, and prepared to order. This has the advantage of always ensuring tasty, well-cooked food, but the downside is that it requires longer-than-average wait times, especially when the restaurant is crowded (we're talking about a dozen seats, maximum). Therefore, I recommend visiting Lucaneria only when you're not in a hurry, but rather consider this an opportunity to enjoy the cuisine in peace. Moving on to ratings and reviews, we tried: pappardelle with white ragù and mushrooms, rating: 9- (I would have preferred a slightly thinner pasta shape when there's no tomato sauce, but still really good); guancia al vino rosso, rating: 9.5 (excellent); Baked pork ribs, 8.5 (the heat was a tad too high for browning, but the meat was tender and flavorful). We'll definitely be back, but we won't rush it.

A small, intimate space with just a few tables, a cozy and romantic atmosphere, and meticulously prepared Lucanian cuisine. There's also a lovely veranda. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly! We'll definitely be back soon!

A very intimate restaurant, where it's rare to have a quiet conversation. It has just a few tables and is perfect for couples or small groups. I appreciated the menu, which is different from what's usually found in local restaurants. It features references to Lucanian cuisine, hence the name, and features the famous crusco pepper. There's also a special vegan menu. There's a good selection of wines, and craft beers are also available. The service and timing are appropriate for the ambiance. It's not a place where you can be in a hurry, but your palate will be amply rewarded. I plan on returning to try the pizza; having found the focaccia truly delicious, I expect the pizza to be just as good.

One word to describe it all... wonderful. Typical Lucanian products and freshly prepared dishes. It's true, the wait is a bit long given the freshly prepared food, but that's easily overlooked when the ingredients are top-quality and the person who knows how to combine them is a master. Truly top-notch.
