I migliori ristorantinella città Carpineto della nora della Pescara

03/06/2026: Ricotta ravioli with mushroom sauce, excellent and plentiful; seven arrosticini, sold by the slice, excellent; grilled veal fillet, excellent flavor but tough and stringy (I daresay it wasn't even fillet; I don't usually eat veal fillet, but I'm still skeptical); tiramisu served in miniature sizes, delicious, but tiramisu isn't made like that and isn't that big; water, house wine, and cover charge, total €35, with a €2 discount you didn't ask for. A detour of about 200 km to return to this place where, 10 or 12 years earlier, I had a sumptuous dinner, qualitatively better than today's, at a paltry cost, I think less than €20. And in the adjacent room, two local gentlemen were also entertaining the onlookers, especially the out-of-towners, by singing folk songs from around the area. The question is: in another 10 years, will I purposely detour 200 km to return, or will I decide it's not worth it? You guessed it. I did find the owner much gruffer than I remembered, with little or no inclination to show even a modicum of warmth and hospitality, especially to out-of-towners. Furthermore, the place isn't anything special, and I had a hell of a time finding it. I warn you that simply typing "Carpineto della Nora, contrada Colle della Guardia" (without a street number) into your GPS won't be enough, since the contrada is at least 5-10 km long, and before miraculously finding someone to ask, you'll be back and forth at least a couple of times through these solitudes of the Gran Sasso d'Italia. Overall rating: two stars. (But maybe in 10 years his little son will take over, and maybe the stars will become three, or four. Or even one!).

17/05/2026: A simply perfect day. I was taken to this restaurant by restaurant friends, and I must say it was a wonderful discovery. We ate divinely, with carefully prepared dishes, authentic flavors, and a truly rare quality. The ravioli? Probably the best I've ever eaten. Extraordinary. And the desserts... spectacular, beautiful to look at and even better to taste, something truly out of the ordinary. Special praise also goes to the owner and his wife: exquisite, welcoming, kind, and passionate about their work. You can sense love in every detail, from the cuisine to the hospitality. A place truly worth exploring, and one where I will return with great pleasure.
