Ristorante Marianna In Francavilla al mare

17/09/2025: Welcoming and friendly place, the owner who served at the table

11/08/2025: Visiting Tornareccio for honey and mosaics, we stopped for lunch at this restaurant, which I'd bookmarked for its good reviews, just outside the town. The dining room was so-so, set up for events but a bit anonymous, but the food was truly good and plentiful, especially the chitarra al ragù, which was almost a one-course meal due to the abundance of meat (veal, lamb, and pork). Truffle and sausage ravioli were very tasty and generously portioned. Industrial-style semifreddo, but well-made. The owner and waiter (perhaps his son) were very friendly and efficient. The cover charge was a bit high for the standard of the place, but perhaps justified by the cloth tablecloths. Overall, the prices were fair. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
