I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Abruzzo

05/10/2025: Please note that this review refers to gluten-free pizzas for celiacs. I travel a lot for work and have had the opportunity to try various doughs, including frozen ones, like this one. This one isn't good: thick and soft in the center with a low, crunchy edge. I had the Cossack with tomato and pecorino cheese, and it had an undefined flavor. They only have gluten-free pizza bases and a beer. As the manager said, they only keep them to accommodate groups that require gluten-free pizzas. No appetizers, no welcome. Furthermore, it's unclear why, depending on the type of pizza, just changing the base can sometimes increase the price by €3, other times by €4, or €5! On the menu, there's a section of gluten-free pizzas with 4-5 pizzas listed, implying that the rest are contaminated. Then, speaking to the manager, he says you can choose the flavors you want by asking the staff. Finally, when it was time to pay, he asked me how it went, and when I said no, he launched into a tirade about personal tastes, completely unheeding anyone's opinions, and with a dismissive, oppositional, and closed-minded attitude. It's clear he has the basics to please the customer in question, but it bothers him.

05/10/2025: Excellent pizzas, ZERO courtesy for customers. Started eating at 8.30pm, 9.58pm forced to vacate the table, asked for dessert, all that was said was a coffee, an unheard of disgrace and a serious matter, outside we met other customers who had suffered the same treatment.

18/10/2025: A new location, much more typical of Abruzzo. Very good first courses, and delicious, well-cooked, handmade arrosticini. The lady in charge, always smiling and friendly, accommodated us, even with a few small changes to the menu. Excellent value for money. We'll be back.

13/10/2025: Incredible food, and very lovely staff. Highly recommended! Loved every moment, and would come again and again!

11/10/2025: "Congratulations on your first 10 years! It's a pleasure to see the passion and quality you've demonstrated. Best wishes for a future full of success and satisfaction!" 🥂🍾❤️

28/09/2025: If you're looking for an authentic place, with local products and a warm welcome that makes you feel instantly at home, La Cantina di Lara is the perfect choice. The charcuterie and cheese platters are a real treat: select ingredients and pairings that showcase the typical flavors of Abruzzo. The wines are also top-notch, perfect for accompanying each course. A plus that really makes the difference? The owners, who welcomed us with a sincere smile and a warmth that is not at all predictable. It was a pleasure to chat with them throughout the evening: genuine, helpful, and truly passionate about their work. Highly recommended, whether for an evening with friends or a more intimate moment, where good food, excellent wine, and human warmth come together perfectly!

04/10/2025: We travel frequently for business and/or pleasure. We rarely give a restaurant 5 stars because perfection is difficult to achieve. Taverna del Marinaio in Lanciano fully deserves 5 stars! Unsurpassed value for money. Excellently prepared food, everything is refined and fresh. The service, evening meal pairings, and wine selection are extraordinary. The location is breathtaking. This restaurant demonstrates the entire staff's passion for food and wine. The restaurant is spotless, as are the restrooms. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The dining room staff is very knowledgeable about gastronomy and the entire world of wine. We will definitely be back!

28/09/2025: Welcoming and charming atmosphere. Excellent food and impeccable service.

05/10/2025: We went for our daughter's eighteenth birthday!!! Everything was perfect, the food was excellent. Very helpful staff. Highly recommended.

28/09/2025: We celebrated a friend's wedding at Villa Basti. The venue is beautiful, impeccable service and the staff are so professional and nice !

11/10/2025: We stumbled upon this place by chance and had a great time. The restaurant is very cute and welcoming, the staff is very friendly, and the food is excellent. Arrosticini are top-notch 😍

21/09/2025: An excellent gastronomic experience in a casual yet meticulously crafted restaurant. The flavors were truly magnificent, with the quality of the ingredients evident from the first bite. The arrosticini, freshly prepared, were served with special attention: we ordered four of them, and they were brought to us as they were ready, hot and fragrant, thus enhancing their deliciousness. The ravioli were also highly appreciated, with their well-balanced combinations and delicate yet firm dough, a sign of careful and well-executed cuisine. A restaurant that combines simplicity and flavor in a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for those seeking an authentic experience without sacrificing quality. Highly recommended: I will definitely be back.

13/09/2025: Our first evening in Pescara, and the food was delicious! We got a table outside. It was lovely sitting there despite the busy street. We started with some antipasti, including Pallotte cacio e uova, meatballs made with bread, cheese, and egg. A local dish and absolutely delicious. And of course, we had to try the arrosticini. We got 5 each. So delicious. I could have eaten all 15! And finally, a pistachio dessert. What a successful evening. Highly recommended!!

07/09/2025: Returned after some time. The arrosticini were half-burned and unsalted (€1.40 each, small), the appetizers disappointing, and the grilled vegetables in oil. We were in a rush for the second round, but then no one showed up. Disappointing.

26/09/2025: Restaurant at the end of the southern promenade. À la carte menu. Good roast fish and mixed fried fish. The chitarra alla pescatore is decent.

21/09/2025: What can I say? Super friendly staff, generous portions, and above all, excellent, top-quality seafood...we'll be back soon... Congratulations 💯💯💯👏👏

03/10/2025: A go-to for years! Always a reliable source! Special thanks to Maurizio for his kindness and professionalism!

13/09/2025: Simple and clean atmosphere, I like places like this, friendly service, and excellent food. Found and tried it by chance while returning from the beach today...what can I say! We've also booked for lunch tomorrow.

19/10/2025: Every time I'm in the area, La Portella is a must-visit for the authentic goodness of the dishes served and the cozy, rustic atmosphere. I love the cleanliness and elegance of the place, and I find the service to be quick and attentive to customer needs, with particular attention to food intolerances. Reservations aren't always necessary, even though the place is quite popular.

14/10/2025: Everything was very good and authentic! The mixed grill was a little more substantial with all the bones... Anyway, I recommend it!

21/09/2025: Excellent food! Fab antipasti, incredible pasta and polenta (a house speciality) and amazing desserts. Really lovely staff and a beautiful location. Highly recommend.

14/09/2025: Beautiful experience in this wonderful restaurant that tells its story... ilaster chef Michele, a polenta maker of the past, with his polenta rognosa makes this dish an emblem, very good and rich in ingredients... delicious. Try it.

24/09/2025: When I want to eat seafood, this is the only restaurant I think of. From appetizers to main courses, it's a journey of flavor and quality. The atmosphere is intimate and refined, yet you feel at ease, thanks in large part to Claudio, who to call a waiter would be an understatement. He's sweet and knowledgeable, the icing on the cake for this magical place.

17/09/2025: Excellent restaurant! Excellent quality food and beautiful, beautiful dishes.

14/09/2025: Welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Excellent quality dishes. The staff was efficient and dynamic. We'll definitely be back! Best regards, Riccardo and Rossella.
