Trattoria da Lucia In Palena

A typical trattoria in the upper Abruzzo region, characterized by the customary hospitality and simplicity of its people. Cuisine made with excellent ingredients, expertly prepared by Lucia, who still oversees the creation of the dishes. We feel at home, in the back bar setting, and we are treated like family! The traditional Abruzzo first courses are handmade...the gnocchi are "turned" one by one... The roast meat, especially the grilled lamb, is an absolute must for its quality and flavor. Reference.

The food was good, but the service was a disaster. It's like they're doing you a favor by waiting for you.

Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food. Excellent value.

We ate very well... Homemade cooking... I had polenta and sausage with delicious sauce.

Excellent trattoria at the foot of the Maiella. Excellent and generous first courses with a homemade flavor. The meat-based second courses feature lamb and local veal, along with excellent side dishes. Reservations are recommended.

The food was excellent, good quality (we had the chitarra al tartufo, which was well seasoned with real truffles, not the usual oils), and the portions were truly generous. The staff was truly kind and attentive. Highly recommended.

Exquisite home cooking. The truffle chitarra pasta was delicious. Generous portions and top-quality. The roast was phenomenal. Friendly staff. Very fair price.

Excellent home cooking We'll definitely be back

Excellent lunch at Trattoria Lucia! I can't say enough about this place, which gave me an unforgettable culinary experience. The appetizer of dried mozzarella with sausage was a true revelation. The mozzarella, with its soft and stringy texture, paired perfectly with the intense, savory flavor of the sausage. A simple yet brilliant combination, which paved the way for an explosion of flavors. But the real triumph of the lunch was the grilled lamb. The meat, so tender and cooked to perfection, melted in the mouth, leaving a delicate and enveloping flavor. The freshness of the ingredients and the mastery of the preparation were clearly evident. The service was impeccable, and the welcoming, family atmosphere made the lunch even more enjoyable. Trattoria Lucia is a place I recommend to all lovers of good food, but not to those with a pizzuta P.

Scoperto per caso dopo una visita alle Grotte del Cavallone...tipica trattoria a conduzione familiare... Piatti cucinati benissimo... Personale gentilissimo e accogliente... Locale rustico ma che trasmette tutto il calore famigliare... Ci vediamo presto!!!
