07/02/2026: Spectacular... entering the room you find yourself in an old tavern, the furnishings are characteristic and you can sense the love, passion and tradition passed down over time... home cooking, homemade pasta, vegetables and well-executed appetizers... grilled meat cooked to perfection, quality raw ingredients... delicious desserts... vast selection of wines... kindness, courtesy and professionalism...
11/10/2025: Here I am again... searching for a much-touted but never-been-before restaurant, "La Furnacella"
(It's hidden, but easily accessible, located on the north side of the bridge separating Alba Adriatica from Villa Rosa di Martinsicuro)
...a place where you walk in and feel completely at ease (when you love your job, you make hospitality a strength, and here I get the highest rating)!
We tried everything, and my sense of smell and taste didn't give me time to think about photos to share what it looked like...but to savor its deliciousness, you just have to go in person!
The aromas of a cuisine made with love, and it's our classic traditional cuisine... for appetizers, we only wanted to try the fried cheese, which was excellent; first courses: tagliatelle with truffle and porcini mushrooms, chitarrina with a sauce that speaks for itself, gnocco with sauce and stracciatella, ravioli—a delight; second courses: the Florentine steak? Served raw, that alone speaks volumes about its quality! We also tried the lamb chops and didn't even leave dessert!
When you eat and taste the quality, you feel comfortable and you're spending a fair amount? I can only say, congratulations!
The place is also very, very nice. It's a shame I didn't try it before!!!

Returned after a while and can confirm the same top quality and kindness.
Today we had several first courses: chitarrina and homemade ravioli with tomato sauce, caprese, and amatriciana. The second course was lamb, delicious!
Excellent side dishes. Delicious fried cheese and an Italian-style appetizer.
Everything was excellent, see you soon!
