I migliori ristoranti in Abruzzo

11/05/2025: I stopped at Pasticceria Bontà d'Abruzzo 🥞 on May 1st, finding it conveniently along the state road in Silvi. Even though it was a little late, I still found a decent choice of croissants 🥐. The ones we tried were really very good and tasty (in particular the one with the classic chocolate/white chocolate mix and the one with Chantilly cream). An extra point goes to the lady at the counter 🙋‍♀️, who kindly offered to fill the empty croissants on the spot.

27/03/2025: Passing through Ortona, excellent croissant and well stocked. At 11 am pass with different varieties of simple croissants (vegan, cereal etc.)

16/09/2025: One of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. Simple, authentic dishes that respect tradition and use top-quality raw materials.

15/09/2025: A very bad experience. The welcome was cold and unfriendly. The ravioli didn't seem fresh and the sauce was watery, the strozzapreti were overcooked and tasteless. The arrosticini had an unpleasant odor. Overall, one of the worst meals I've had in Abruzzo.

16/10/2025: Very friendly, nice and clean place. We ate well at a competitive price. We will return. Remember to say so when you book if you want hot appetizers.

13/09/2025: All very good, kind and helpful staff, Johana is very nice

06/09/2025: We chose this location for our wedding and what can I say... We were pampered from start to finish. Piero is a wonderful person; he made us feel at home from start to finish and guided us through this year of preparations. Miriam and Elena are two amazing people, super organized and available to us. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food excellent, and our guests had a blast... we couldn't have asked for anything better for our wedding. A serene, cheerful, and happy atmosphere with cool hair and a wonderful light in their eyes. And then the desserts... unsurpassed. For a unique experience, I highly recommend them.

08/08/2025: Beautiful place! Amazing pool, highly recommend.

07/08/2025: If you're looking for good sushi 🍣, then stop here! It's a casual and very welcoming place, and the staff is friendly and fast. Plus, you can enjoy well-made dishes with generous portions. Always a guarantee. But they should update their menus, both on paper and in their content.

24/07/2025: The menu is extensive and offers all-you-can-eat quality in a tourist area (so don't expect much). The place is clean and well-organized, with plenty of tables. The only downside is the parking lot, which is very small and you have to park in the adjacent streets.

21/07/2025: We stopped here on Sunday evening on our way back from Pescara to Rome. The restaurant is large, spacious, and well-kept. The open meat counter is certainly a visual delight. We wanted a good steak, but instead they offered us an EXCEPTIONAL one. The owner (I believe) explained and showed us the differences between the various cuts and gave us the best recommendations. The meat was tender, juicy, and fatty, just as we wanted, perfectly cooked, and incredibly flavorful. The service is on par with the food; the two ladies in the dining room were excellent and very kind. My only regret is that I wasn't able to thank them as much as I would have liked, but we'll definitely be back and make up for it. The platter was also very good and well-stocked, and the fries were unforgettable. House red wine and dessert to finish, and we finished on a high note, ready to continue our journey home. The value for money was definitely excellent; in Rome, you can only dream of a dinner like this with excellent meat. Well done everyone, we'll definitely be back :)

09/07/2025: Simply excellent in everything!

20/09/2025: I'm very sorry to have to write this review, but I believe customers should be respected. We had a truly terrible meal. We were greeted kindly, and that's the end of the fun of this dinner. We ordered two first courses and one second course. The mezze maniche were raw and we couldn't eat them. The spaghetti allo scoglio were watery (perhaps poorly drained?). The fried seafood had so much oil it made me feel sick, literally. I had read positive reviews; perhaps the chef wasn't there tonight and someone else cooked in his place. In any case, you can't serve customers this way. When it came time to pay, we weren't even asked how our dinner went (despite noticing we'd left a lot of food on the table). We would have appreciated at least this: accountability.

13/09/2025: A very nice place, close to the sea. The atmosphere is simple, with equally simple but truly delicious food. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for good, quiet dining at a reasonable price. Avoid it in August, when it's crowded.

02/09/2025: I discovered this restaurant when it opened as Lumapuz, then Pietra Carrata, perhaps 20 years ago. It was a genuine place where the flavors were those of my home. We fell in love with it, and it was a must-visit when we were in Abruzzo, either alone or with friends. You could enjoy exceptional appetizers, from pecorino cheese and ricotta to peppers with eggs, liver sausage, and so on. Then you could enjoy humble but exceptional first courses like sagna with chickpeas and sagna with beans, not to mention gnocchi and ravioli with ricotta. Unfortunately, to my regret and your legitimate evolution, all of this has disappeared, or almost. The restaurant has completely changed its approach to cooking, updating the menu and the old flavors. Unfortunately, my palate struggles to adapt to new flavors, and an eggplant in oil is called by a scientific name, placed on a bed of something adorned with Pai chips. Of the old appetizer, first Lumapuz and then Pietra Carrata, nothing remains. I'm not criticizing the products, which are excellent, but the lack of the old flavors. Thank you for the past. Donato

31/08/2025: This place gives priority to Italians! If you're a foreigner, this isn't the place for you. You might have to wait up to two hours for your order, even if the restaurant is empty! The food is good, but the wait is tiring.

18/10/2025: I was there yesterday, October 18, 2025, with my wife and a friend. A lovely evening was ruined by the management's failure to intervene at a table where adults were letting a young boy use his phone with video playing at high volume. Throughout the dinner, we had to endure the annoying crackling of cell phone audio, while the management pretended not to notice. It's a shame, considering it's a very nice place and the pizzas are excellent.

23/09/2025: Excellent from all points of view, we ordered 1 carpaccio of raw porcini mushrooms with rocket and parmesan shavings for 4 diners, 2 delicious pizzas with porcini mushrooms, one white and one red, 4 first courses with porcini mushrooms, 2 slices of mushroom steak, wine, water, coffee, total 135 euros. Worth it.

30/09/2025: Everything was excellent... a variety of pizzas... and not only that... very clean place... and the very kind and polite staff... suitable for quick lunches... tables to sit...

03/09/2025: They let customers crowding at the bar go ahead of them, without respecting the order of arrival for table service.

01/10/2025: It's a restaurant I used to visit 2-3 times a year. I called on Saturday evening at 7:45 PM asking if there was a table available for three. They said yes, so we arrived around 8:15. The place was full and they hadn't reserved a table for us yet. However, the waitress sat us down and took our order around 8:45. The wait was endless; it took over 45 minutes for the bruschetta to be brought out, but there was no sign of the little girl's pasta. At 10:30 PM, they brought the pasta for the children at the table next to us, who had arrived after 9:30 PM. Perfect...we got up and left.........paying for what we had consumed. Last time here.

01/10/2025: Terrible service... we'd been waiting for the little girl's pasta since around 8:30 PM, and at 10:30 PM they served it to the next table, which had arrived an hour after us... There was also a hornet roaming around the restaurant, which is why we asked to be moved, in addition to the stale air in the room, warning of the presence of the dangerous insect, which then stung a woman. They didn't even bother to open a window to let her out or to keep it away in any way... The woman asked for help with the sting, and they managed with a little alcohol, but then the hornet attacked the same person again... we ran away without eating... I really hope nothing serious happened to the woman. If you don't have time and aren't organized, don't make reservations at a fully booked restaurant...we're not from the area, we walked a bit to get there...we could have looked elsewhere and, above all, fed the child at a decent time. P.S. Respect for those who work and leave home in the evening to bring you part of the money they've earned...you owe that. See you never again.

11/10/2025: Excellent hospitality, super authentic food, Oops wine... the house wine was delicious, the location was clean and typical of the area, and last but not least, our four-legged friends were welcome.... Highly recommended...

01/09/2025: I went to this place with a large group of people. The food was excellent (especially the pappardelle with venison) and the atmosphere was decent. I found some of the wait staff a little nervous, which wasn't good, but the others were very friendly. It's understandable! The two bathrooms aren't separated into men's and women's, and that should be done, in my opinion. Anyway, I'd go back for both the food and the location.

16/10/2025: Home cooking at very good prices!

19/09/2025: Highly recommended!!! Very friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and super fair prices. Close to the highway, easy to get to. Highly recommended after trekking in the Gran Sasso. :)

06/09/2025: Good pizza and arrosticini. If you go in the summer, you'll find a very good strawberry tiramisu! The owner is very kind and friendly.

11/07/2025: The food was nothing special. They brought bread with oil for an appetizer, probably the kind that comes in a shelf-stable package... The pizza wasn't bad. The service was cold, and the atmosphere was unpleasant.
