I migliori ristoranti in Abruzzo

14/08/2025: We went to the restaurant with a reservation at 8:30 PM. We already knew what to order, so we ordered right away: a bruschetta with sausage as an appetizer, 20 arrosticini, and two beers. After more than an hour of waiting, the waiter informed us that the arrosticini were out of stock, including the frozen ones, and that we could choose something else. At the same time, our appetizer arrived... completely burned and inedible. At that point, we got up to leave, but had to wait in line at the cash register, which wasn't working. Meanwhile, other customers in our situation were forced to rush to other restaurants that were almost closing. Result: we left without dinner, still paying a cover charge and two warm beers after a pointless wait. It wasn't just our experience: the table next to us had ordered a Margherita pizza and a hamburger with fries. The fries never arrived, the burger was burnt, and the pizza was bland. There's a complete lack of organization in the kitchen and in order management. It's unacceptable to let you know after more than an hour that the main course isn't available and to offer frozen food instead of fresh. A terrible experience: never again.

13/08/2025: I've been coming to this restaurant for three years because the food is excellent. The pizza is really good, and so are the arrosticini. Unfortunately, the pizzonde this year were horribly seasoned with low-quality vegetables and were completely indigestible. Isn't it negligent to use two fresh tomatoes? The problem with this place is the slow service. The waiters wander around like people who are in suspense and can't hear. The orders are almost always wrong, and you get one thing instead of another. To avoid further waiting, you eat but without satisfaction. There's no fruit. And in July, oh dear, buy her two bottles of ratafia... and yet it would take very little to make a customer happy, but it almost seems like you don't care because the tourists are just passing by and leaving.

03/09/2025: Excellent value for money and plenty of dishes

14/08/2025: It's clear that the bar is still a desperate attempt to squeeze money from its regulars. The service leaves much to be desired, especially when the waitress, apparently in her eighties, is on duty. Most of the regulars avoid the bar as soon as she's on duty. Her disgruntled attitude certainly doesn't inspire anyone to linger there for a coffee. I've often heard regulars complain that she's arrogant and even offensive when it suits her. Every year, the bar loses its atmosphere and quality. Besides the miserable state of the bathroom, it's clear that the bar is only surviving thanks to the presence of older customers, who continue to support it financially. The owners apparently have no interest in investing or changing anything in this bar. It's sad that a beautiful town like Colonnella is decaying like this. Well, a bar is never alone in this town. A story about us: A few days ago, my husband and I were at the bar, and an incident bordering on the ridiculous occurred. We were speaking to each other in German, and a German family nearby apparently overheard some inappropriate language, which, given the presence of their children, they didn't like. We didn't know whether there were other German-speaking people nearby. However, the co-owner pointed out to my friend, an Italian and longtime regular, that German tourists had complained. My friend approached them and said in German that he didn't know there were Germans present and that children of that age (it was almost 11 p.m.) should be in bed by now. The woman's German partner stood up and almost raised his hands (his first mistake). The employees, unable to assess the situation and apparently devoid of any real emotion in their lives, called the owner. The latter, also lacking social skills, raised his voice at my friend and became aggressive. When the eighty-year-old waitress (N.) tried to talk about us to a retired police officer present, my friend asked her to stop. At that point, the German tourist, who has an aggressive problem and loves to raise his hands, approached my friend and grabbed him by the neck (second mistake). Since my friend is used to such situations, he did nothing, because whoever raises their hand first starts. The retired police officer warned the German tourist that he would be arrested if he didn't calm down. The incompetent employees, who apparently couldn't find any other job besides this, called the owner, who banned my friend from the establishment. Banning a longtime regular who expresses his opinion without becoming aggressive is highly reprehensible. The employees are probably incapable of assessing situations objectively and choose the path of least effort. 100% incompetence. Form your own opinion, but this bar will have one less customer now. PS: The waitress (N.) would be better off asking for her pension rather than venting her dissatisfaction on the customers and the village residents. She's damaging the bar's image. No one comes for her. Many come for the owner, but after this story, even his likability is in question.

16/11/2025: We didn't enjoy it because the pizza was burnt, the arrosticini were very tough, and the wine wasn't very good. Maybe we were just unlucky.

06/11/2025: We came a month ago and returned after visiting the fair; everything was high quality, fresh, and freshly cooked—exquisite! We'll be back! 🇮🇹❤️🇦🇷

04/12/2025: Truly sublime wines, an experience beyond any emotion, and Mr. Franco D'Eusanio is a very exquisite and knowledgeable person.

31/07/2025: Top location. Super wines. Franco always tops the list.

09/09/2025: Great service, friendly waitress

06/09/2025: A beautiful place to spend the day and enjoy the night. Plus, Lino is the best bartender on the planet. Thanks for the drinks and the good vibes.

24/04/2025: Well-kept pitches with large, clean changing rooms. Convenient parking, the bar could be improved but it's a nice centre

21/04/2025: Nice, well-kept sports center in a quiet area, well managed!

08/12/2025: So... I live in the square, so I know all the local restaurants. I often go to La Pergola to eat. Today they outdid themselves. They made me a carbonara with handmade fettuccine upon request. Guys... I've eaten a lot of carbonara since I'm obsessed with it. But this one was out of this world. Compliments to the chef. Then he brought me the ossobuco stew. Lunch worth 10. Well done... Kind, nice, excellent food.

07/12/2025: Exceptionally good dishes, all very friendly, welcoming and familiar, excellent prices, highly recommended!

04/08/2025: Excellent bar overlooking the town's main square, with plenty of tables, including outside, impeccable service, and a splendid rear view.

26/05/2025: We stopped for a coffee and an orzo! Excellent

18/10/2025: Returned after years, the quality of the dishes and the kindness of the owners and staff remain intact. I recommend the desserts, they are spectacular.

08/09/2025: Magical place, delicious food, and excellent service! Highly recommended!

25/05/2025: Una serata con amici e finiti per la prima volta in questo locale…antipasto la pizza la carne tutto buonissimo però peccato che non fanno la pizza senza glutine…da ritornare sicuramente

29/04/2025: Un'ottima pizza 🍕 quella offerta da La Lanterna. Base ampia e sottile, impasto leggero e digeribile, condimento adeguato. Di qualità anche i dolci 🍮. Bello il locale, comode le sedie e ampi i tavoli tondi. Un'arma a doppio taglio la presenza dell'area cucina e forno ♨️ a vista che rende l'ambiente piacevole d'inverno, caldo d'estate. Bene il servizio, prezzi abbastanza in linea con i tempi; difficile ormai uscire con meno di 30€ anche da una pizzeria (bruschette divise, pizza, birra 🍺 e dolce).

14/09/2025: Unlike many other bars and ice cream shops in the area, it's ACTUALLY open at lunchtime. Modern, fresh, and with a wide selection. Everything is delicious. Both inside and outside seating. Recommended!

09/07/2025: A truly authentic pastry shop that you absolutely must try.

09/11/2025: The arrosticini are excellent, the pizza is good, the dessert is delicious.

30/10/2025: We tried the fettuccine with mushrooms and truffles and the arrosticini. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming, intimate, and relaxed. The staff is truly friendly. The prices are also fair and reasonable.

01/11/2025: The food is good in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent service.

28/10/2025: Donato is adorable. Delicious, typical dishes.

23/07/2025: Family atmosphere with excellent pizza, with a high and airy crust.

28/06/2025: Culinary experience above expectations.
