Magnoz In Popoli

After visiting the Popoli hospital, we stopped at the famous Magnoz Restaurant: we had appetizers and roast meat. Delicious and generous portions. We saw at other tables that the first courses were also very inviting...maybe next time!!! 😉 They also offered us coffee and grappa!!! 🔝

I went to this restaurant for dinner with my mom. The rustic and welcoming location made us feel right at home. The staff was helpful, courteous, and always smiling, helping to create a genuine, family atmosphere. The homemade 7-grain bread was simply sublime, accompanied by excellent olive oil. The chitarra pasta with shrimp sauce was incredible. The arrosticini and house wine were exquisite and perfectly in keeping with tradition. Also noteworthy was the complete lack of waiting for the dishes, which arrived in perfect time. The dessert—a homemade tiramisu—was exquisite, as was the ratafià. The welcome was impeccable: a truly appreciated gesture was the gift of several slices of bread, which we had literally fallen in love with. The price was excellent for the quality offered. It was one of those places you'll want to return to... and we definitely will.

Excellent restaurant, friendly and helpful staff

Good and plentiful, kind and helpful staff, definitely worth trying again

Friendly staff and delicious food. With a super-wide selection of dishes. For me, the best restaurant in the area.

Everything was extremely high quality. The arrosticini were worthy of the place we're in, and the first course portions were truly excellent. The quality was top-notch, and the ricotta was incredibly fresh. A must-visit if you're in the area. Excellent

A variety of pasta dishes, arrosticini, and lamb. Pizzas are only served in the evening. The tiramisu and panna cotta are delicious. Located on the outskirts of Poppolo.

A perfect Valentine's Day evening. The restaurant was packed, but the service was impeccable even without a reservation. The food was extraordinary, vegetarian (in our case), generous portions, live music, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. One of the fondest memories of our weekend in the area. We dined at Ristorante Pizzeria Magnoz in Popoli over Valentine's Day weekend 2026, and we can say without hesitation that it was one of the most wonderful experiences of our stay. We arrived early, without a reservation, and the restaurant was completely packed. Despite this, the staff welcomed us with great kindness and professionalism, finding us a table right away. This gesture alone made us understand the quality of the service. We are truly grateful to have had the opportunity to dine there, as it was one of the most special moments of our weekend. The atmosphere was fantastic: a spacious, warm, and welcoming space, with live music that made the evening even more enjoyable and romantic without being intrusive. There was a lively and authentic energy, with the restaurant packed but always well-organized. We're vegetarians and the food was divine. We started with a spectacular bruschetta: four slices of their homemade bread, fragrant, flavorful, truly exceptional. Then we tried a fresh handmade pasta, similar to spaghetti but shorter and much thicker, with a perfect texture and incredible flavor. You could taste the quality and craftsmanship. The saffron and truffle risotto was indescribable: creamy, fragrant, balanced. You literally melted while eating it. Even though we were already full, we couldn't resist a pizza parmigiana with eggplant: light but full of flavor, well-cooked, and fresh ingredients. Even though we ran out of room, we finished it all! And finally, a dream tiramisu, the perfect ending to such a successful dinner. The portions are generous, the prices are absolutely fair, and the quality/price ratio is excellent. But what really made the difference was the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, always smiling, present but never intrusive. They helped make the evening truly unforgettable. Thank you so much for making our Valentine's Day so special. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful restaurant. I really appreciated the interior, which was truly thoughtfully decorated. The service was also excellent. As for the food, I was slightly disappointed by a few dishes, like the pasta with river shrimp, which lacked any shrimp flavor; it was basically pasta with sauce. The arrosticini were also undercooked; I usually find them quite charred in Abruzzo; these were too rare and a little rubbery, unfortunately. The trout meatballs, on the other hand, were truly excellent. I would definitely return, but I'd opt for a more rustic first course, perhaps something with mushrooms, sausage, or guanciale. The arrosticini might have been taken off the heat too early because the place was packed. Overall, though, I enjoyed it.

Wonderful experience...excellent food and friendly staff. Highly recommended. Well done.
