I migliori ristoranti in Abruzzo

04/09/2025: For an excellent breakfast or lunch break, I recommend this place. Kindness and friendliness reign supreme. When we return to L'Aquila, it will be our go-to place. Thanks for the hospitality, especially to Emanuela and Pierluigi for the excellent breakfasts.

09/08/2025: Ordinary, at best, for Italy - the risotto was reheated (my wife cooks it better), and although the fusilli with speck and radicchio were tasty, the consistency of the sauce wasn't quite right. We had better experiences - and value - elsewhere.

27/09/2025: I Briganti has always been a go-to restaurant for me, a student living away from home, accompanying me throughout these five long years. Unfortunately, over the past year, the quality of the food and service has significantly declined. Long waits, incorrect orders, cold food, and no longer as good or plentiful as it once was. If you try to order on Just Eat, you're in for a surprise: your order arrives late, cold, and with raw food. Furthermore, if you try to call them, no one answers or you get voicemail. I'm reluctantly leaving this review, hoping things can improve.

09/09/2025: I recommend it for a quick lunch. Traditional food, normal portions, and reasonable prices.

31/10/2025: Terrible service, the staff barely understand the language and making themselves understood is quite a difficult task, you order something and you don't know what will arrive on your table... undercooked kebabs and (even worse) very badly cooked... terrible experience, shame...

08/09/2025: Beautiful venue in a stunning park in Chieti.

05/10/2025: Welcoming staff, excellent gluten-free pizza, well-cooked arrosticini. Thank you.

06/09/2025: I'm always here now, great service!! The pizza is especially good, not to mention the arrosticini 😀😀

07/05/2025: Veramente ottimo! La gentilezza della signorina che ci ha seguito, con consigli e spiegazioni, le zuppe favolose, le ottime porzioni e il prezzo veramente buono per quanto offerto ci hanno stregato! Grazie!

03/05/2025: Cucina semplice, sincera, senza fronzoli da ambiziosi gourmet, ad un prezzo giusto e con un servizio corretto e molto cortese. Evitate manciate di sale, grassi inutili, panne pasticciate per dare solo apparenza di sapore. Un agnello da 20 e lode per quanto mi riguarda (davvero gustoso e cotto a puntino). Chitarra al pomodoro, gnocchi a salsiccia e zafferano e fantastici agnolotti di ricotta al tartufo. Vino della casa senza alcuna offesa. Che dire? Grazie!!!

06/10/2025: Completely negative, and I'm sorry. From the appetizers, there were many products, but of poor quality, to the first courses, at least for the ones my wife and I had. I won't specify which ones were inedible. Moreover, the prices weren't exactly cheap; in fact, the atmosphere was reminiscent of a 1960s/70s city-dwelling restaurant, hardly fitting for a mountain restaurant. It was also a bit cold in the dining room. The staff was very kind and quick, they won't see us again. Of course, this is just my opinion.

28/09/2025: The owner and staff were friendly, but the quality/price ratio was terrible. A single appetizer cost €19, followed by two tagliata (a slice of meat), a half-liter of house wine, and a bottle of water, for a total of €97. The tagliata (a slice of meat) weren't priced, and that made the difference: €30 for a simple tagliata (veal steak), which generally costs €18 in other restaurants. I wasn't expecting such a high price for such a simple, poorly maintained setting.

14/06/2025: Excellent and very friendly welcome. Another positive note is that they offer a wide selection of wine.

23/09/2025: Small bar right on the Casalbordino seafront. Small parking lot in front. Friendly staff (two ladies). Sea view. Decent ice cream parlor. Good prices and clean restrooms.

28/08/2025: I didn't like the ice cream, it was tasteless. The milkshake was basically just cold milk, with almost no ice cream. ☹️

10/08/2025: If I don't come, it's closed. I'll try again.

19/07/2025: I was sorry to lower the stars of the service a little, because I would actually like to compliment the two who in my opinion deserve it most: Mrs. Urania, very nice, helpful and very professional, and the bartender Carlo, very good at his job. Congratulations guys👏

27/09/2025: ...the elegance of the Ritrovo lies not only in the location, it is above all in the taste of the delicacies and the beauty of the people who host it and welcome us!

20/09/2025: Rude people address customers in an unkind manner

28/10/2025: It's a low-quality pizzeria, especially when it comes to service. You have to order multiple pizzas from a single phone, no matter how many people are eating. It's a good place to go for pizza during the week, but I wouldn't recommend it on weekends. Their oven isn't big enough for all the tables. Last Friday I went, and there were six tables for 3/4 people, plus a large table for about 20 people, and I waited over an hour and a half—me and everyone else, including the large table. My pizza arrived burned, so I had to have it remade, so another 15-minute wait. Even takeout orders take a long time, about half an hour. The management is really poor. However, I have to say that the pizza is really good; the tomatoes are fresh and tasty. The price is very good for pizzas like the Margherita or Marinara, which I usually order.

04/10/2025: But how do I talk on the phone and order takeout pizzas? Since you also refuse Just Eat? I'm curious, maybe let me know here!

22/09/2025: A really nice bar, located on the main street. Unfortunately, the staff was very rude and unfriendly. After waiting 43 minutes for a juice, I got up to ask if it was still out because I had a bus to catch. The answer I got was, "Whatever you have to wait for, you wait." I don't give the service a 0 because I can't.

16/08/2025: Superlative aperitif and super fast guys

06/04/2025: Excellent traditional Abruzzo food. From appetizers to desserts, the quality is top-notch. Excellent service. I highly recommend it.

07/09/2025: I'm the customer who won't be coming back, and do you know why? We arrived and waited 5 minutes at the counter before a girl came over. Without even apologizing for the wait, she asked us what we wanted. Once we'd listed our pizzas and asked to heat them up, she replied that they were already hot because they came out "just 10 minutes ago." Too bad that when we sat down to eat, the pizzas were frozen, so I went back to the counter to ask to heat them up, but the girl had gone back to the counter, so we couldn't find her. Finally, a guy came out (I must say, he was very kind and professional), we asked him to heat up the pizzas, and finally we ate. The whole time we were sitting at the table, there was a crowd of people, but they were yelling at the counter, "Is anyone there?" Good pizza, terrible and unprofessional service from the counter staff. P.S. If you only kept the pizza chef and did both, you'd save a lot of money.

05/09/2025: Always the same pizzas with zero fancy food. If you're lucky, you can get sandwiches; if you arrive after 1:30 PM, you're screwed. It's a shame because the pizzas and sandwiches are excellent and the staff are very friendly.
