Pizza Shock In Ortona

19/08/2025: I'm unsure how to rate this place. The Agriturismo label understates it because, despite being immersed in the natural beauty of the Chieti hills, it's a new establishment with a lovely, airy, and clean atmosphere, far removed from the stereotypical rustic farmhouse image. I haven't had the chance to review many of the dishes...the first course of cavatelli with zucchini and sausage is neither good nor bad, made with local produce, but flavorless. The arrosticini are excellent for both meat and cuts, but they were ruined by a strong charcoal flavor (I could be wrong, but from knowing other places, it seemed like they'd been ignited or added flammable substances to the grill). The appetizer was "not good," the cured meats and cheeses were good, but the fried zucchini flower, which was overpoweringly oily and, to top it all, cold, was a crime. Let's be clear: I intend to improve. The staff's availability, expertise (especially regarding wines), and empathy are all strong points worth considering.

19/08/2025: We had a great stay, the staff is friendly and attentive. The place is quiet and very well appointed. The wine they make is excellent. I highly recommend it.
