Sayonara In Tortoreto

20/07/2026: From the square, you'd never guess it's a welcoming place inside. The staff is very friendly and immediately puts you at ease. The room isn't very large but it's welcoming. The only flaw is the upholstery on the chairs, which isn't suitable for prolonged sitting, but it's very hot these days. The menu is extensive and the servings are generous, classic Abruzzo cuisine. We chose traditional dishes, including the suggested melon salad, which was excellent. The first course is their specialty, while the mixed roast was a hit. Dessert: the sweet pizza was one of the best we've tasted. And to finish, a good coffee. Don't add sugar. I forgot about the wine; the house wine is full-bodied and excellent, but don't overdo it if you have to drive, as the return roads are challenging. If you're going on specific days, it's best to book.
