Trimalcione In Vasto

A fantastic experience. From the history of the trebuchets, to the freshest fish. Everything perfect and very pleasant.

UNFORGETTABLE experience today with charming Mario and his lovely wife, Chef Emilia. They have owned this unique Trabocco at Punta Penna since 2014. There are just a few tables and you must make a reservation in advance. The food is fresh and changes daily. We had the great fortune to be the only customers today and had Mario and Emilia all to ourselves 😍 Mario is a talented storyteller and Emilia is a master of seafood cookery. We had a many course lunch prepared from a variety of delicacies plucked from the Adriatic that morning. Anchovies, shrimp, mussels, clams, a variety of local fish, a gorgeous tuna sashimi salad, brodetto, pasta and a beautiful dessert. And of course wonderful local wine. Be sure to arrive hungry and allow time for a long leisurely meal. The scenery, hospitality, and cuisine were top notch. Truly an amazing experience. Mille grazie Mario e Emilia 👏😍

Having lunch in a Trabocco is a rather special experience, but being lucky enough to have lunch in a Trabocco accompanied by Mr. Mario's stories is something unforgettable. Mario, in a discreet manner and at the right times, tells you, with lively eyes and a refined intelligence, life stories, of the past and present, invented stories and legends of times gone by. For example, how can we forget the story of the Maiella Madre! He plays a game full of irony, at first impression he might seem gruff and grumpy, but he is just the character behind whom an extremely pleasant person is hidden. His wife in the kitchen is a master of home cooking, with simplicity she brings to the table genuine, decisive, sincere flavors that take you back in time. A simple and profound culinary journey. Thank you very much for your kind and interesting hospitality. Hoping to see you again soon with respect, Katya and Roberto

We went last Sunday for lunch with me, my partner and my daughter. An exceptional place from all points of view: the environment is very nice and welcoming (the bathroom is very clean, it looks like the one at home). As soon as you enter you literally pass by the "home" kitchen where the ladies have the trays ready to be put in the oven, and then go to the trabocco terrace where there are only three tables. In our case, it was us and a small table, all very convivial. Superlative and never-ending food! Really satisfied. We spent €75 each (the girl €10 as she had not selected the fixed menu they offered for her too) but everything was repaid by quality and in this case also quantity! The service was also welcoming, friendly and precise. It was worth my study of almost all the overflows before choosing where to book, so much so that in order to find the table we asked their availability to organize the meeting accordingly day.

It was an unforgettable experience. The overflow Trimalcione is small and original so the atmosphere is very suggestive. The kitchen offers refined and excellently cooked dishes. All we have to do is thank the "character" who welcomed and served us and the ladies in the kitchen!

After an initial setback related to the booking, the hosts opened their restaurant for us and cooked just for us. Delicious cuisine, breathtaking view suspended between sky and sea in an infinite blue, we felt at home. Glory.
