04/06/2025: If you're looking for an authentic experience of Abruzzo’s rich culinary traditions, Taverna 58 in the heart of Pescara is a must-visit. Located on the iconic Corso Manthonè, this gem stands out for its refined and innovative take on classic Abruzzese dishes.okok
During my visit, I had the pleasure of savoring the Coniglio dei Prati di Tivo, a beautifully tender rabbit dish with fresh herbs that take you straight to the heart of the Abruzzo countryside. The Falsomagro di Vitello Stracotto was another standout — a slow-cooked veal roulade that’s perfectly balanced with a rich, flavorful sauce, offering a true taste of tradition. The Pallotte di Ricotta di Pecora — sheep ricotta meatballs — were heavenly, delicate, and full of flavor, making them a must-try for anyone fond of authentic regional dishes.
In addition to these delights, the Tartare Beef prepared at the table is another exceptional dish that showcases the restaurant's attention to detail and fresh ingredients. The Sublime Frittatina, an omelette made with fresh garden herbs and goat cheese, was another highlight that I highly recommend.
What really sets Taverna 58 apart, however, is not just the food, but the outstanding service. The staff is exceptionally professional and polite, making each visit feel like a special occasion. Even my furry friend, Pippin, was treated like royalty, being offered a bowl of refreshing spring water from the Maiella, which added a personal touch that truly elevated the experience.
Taverna 58 offers a gastronomic journey into the heart of Abruzzo. Every dish tells a story, and every bite is a testament to the culinary excellence of the region. If you're in Pescara, do yourself a favor and pay a visit — it's an experience you won’t forget.
03/06/2025: I am reviewing after my second visit. I tasted both the daily special and the choice from the menu; on both occasions I appreciated an excellent choice of products and good preparation of the dishes. In the era of clownish cutting boards that you see around I say to you: go and try "la fellata" and then you will tell me. And if you like to play you will order with a smile the "maccaroni alla borbonica" only to then be amazed and immediately try to remake them at home. Small but not confusing environment (at lunchtime there are usually calm employees on their lunch break, in the evening a couple of children would be enough to "liven up" the evening). Bathroom in order. Attentive, fast and friendly service. And to finish and define the comment I say that the quality/price ratio is good, especially in relation to the general price increase that you see around; my 5 stars therefore derive from the perfect fit between what you expect from this type of place and what you actually find.
