I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Abruzzo

19/10/2025: Zero stars can be given....after many, many, many minutes of waiting (even for a simple bottle of wine), the meat arrived cold. I pointed this out and the same dish was brought back to me a few minutes later...the medium-rare meat, as requested, was now burnt on top and thrown onto the plate, inedible!!!! All paid handsomely! Never again!

19/10/2025: I hope my review helps improve the service because the food is good and the atmosphere is nice. Unfortunately, the staff at the tables aren't very well-coordinated; we had to ask several staff members several times to get our drinks and desserts too late. The meat is very good, both the raw and the cut portions. We were charged for extras on the bill, but these were promptly corrected.

27/08/2025: Well-equipped supermarket with excellent products, full of all services, even a large bar.

16/08/2025: A medium-sized supermarket with a wide variety of locally sourced products. The bakery section is top-notch, and there's a good selection of fruit and vegetables. There's also a meat counter with custom cuts, mostly local fish, and a wide selection of cured meats and cheeses. Friendly and helpful staff, and average prices.

21/09/2025: Beautiful place, but the service was too slow and distracted. We sat down at a table for coffee, after waiting more than 10 minutes in the vain hope that someone would come to take our order. We saw other people who had arrived much later than us, whose orders were being taken and their orders brought right away, and the waiters were circling us. I wondered: are we invisible? So I had to go in and say we'd been sitting for a while and that if we needed to go inside for coffee, it was no problem. I was told someone would arrive. We waited some more, and after a bit more waiting, we saw other people who had just been seated place their orders and immediately receive their drinks. Only then did they come to us. We were about to leave. Then, calmly, very calmly, the coffees arrived, with a clearly annoyed waitress greeting and chatting amicably with the people at the other tables who had arrived after us and were served immediately. I understand that I'm a tourist, that we don't know each other, but if we have to make friends to be considered, please say so. Maybe it was better to get up and leave. Thanks for the coffee. At least it was good.

13/09/2025: The marina is a resort boasting every comfort. The brand-new facility is enchanting. The cuisine is truly excellent...we've often dined at Pontile Smeraldo, and I must say that despite the restaurant always being extremely popular, the staff is extremely well-organized...especially kudos to the blond guy. He's truly talented, helpful, and kind like few others.

19/09/2025: I stopped by just for a coffee... good!

26/08/2025: I stopped by for dinner with my family. Everything was excellent, except that at the end my son was still eating and they took his plate away from him. 😅 We had an appetizer, 2 hotdogs, 5 arrosticini, chips, and pinsa bianca.

11/10/2025: It's a midweek evening in early October, rainy and cold. There are only six of us at the restaurant. The arrosticini are good, and the fried pizza is very good. The owner, Fabio, is very kind and helpful. I recommend it.

23/08/2025: Super delicious food. The arrosticini are a dream, but the pizza fritta with various toppings is also highly recommended.

26/10/2025: Unfortunately, it was a bad experience for us. We arrived around 2:15 PM, a bit late, but the restaurant was still open and bustling, and they seated us without any problem. We took a few minutes to peruse the menu, which, as the waiter said, "needs to be Googled," which was truly absurd for such an elegant and serious establishment. We ordered four appetizers (two each) and two first courses. The first two appetizers, my companion's, arrived after about a quarter of an hour, but mine didn't arrive. Another ten minutes later, one arrived, and we also asked for another bottle of water since we'd finished the first course while waiting. After a quarter of an hour, the waiter came to clear the table and bring the first courses, so we pointed out that one appetizer was missing and immediately went to the kitchen to ask for one. Meanwhile, there was still no news about the water. Another ten minutes and the last appetizer finally arrives, with the waiter's apologies, and my companion gets up to ask for water again, since apparently the waiters start telling us they'll be "coming right away" and then magically disappear. Of course, there's not even an apology from the waiter, who preferred to chat with his colleague rather than bring us a simple bottle of water. This honestly bothered us, not only because of the wait, but also because of the insult of being treated condescendingly and annoyed when we pointed out that we'd been waiting almost half an hour for water. Exactly an hour later, at 3:15 PM, we finally manage to eat all our appetizers (or rather, I did, while my poor companion, rightfully so, waited the entire time, quite hungry) and they bring us the first courses, not without a bit of a wait for those as well. Too bad her paccheri were raw, literally—not al dente, but downright RAW, hard to eat, and white on the inside. My rice was over-salted and essentially plain, with a few vegetables on top, since the jam that flavored it was only in a small portion in the center of the plate, and nothing else. (I'm not mistaken, but the menu should have included hazelnuts in the rice, which obviously didn't arrive.) We decided not to send the dishes back, otherwise we would have been out by dinner time. It was a real shame, because the appetizers were delicious, and we would have even ignored the wait, had it not been for the first courses and the rudeness of two out of three waiters, who didn't even bother to apologize and, in fact, acted annoyed, not to mention the gentleman at the cash register who didn't even bother to reply to our greetings. We ultimately decided to skip the coffee and desserts, even though they looked tempting, both because of their rudeness and because we left the restaurant at 4 pm. Almost two hours for four appetizers and two first courses, mind-blowing to say the least.

26/10/2025: Perhaps the best arrosticini I've ever eaten in the world. The highest quality. If it's available, try the Cuban, a sweet cigar-shaped dish that's sprinkled with rum on the spot and served in a dish shaped like an ashtray. An experience. Definitely worth returning to.

29/11/2025: New management at Penne's historic Bar Centrale. The changes Dante, the new manager, is making are already evident. But I'm sure the best is yet to come. In the meantime...applause!

23/10/2025: A nice little cafe on the main street, typical cafe with good coffee and pastries. Good people watching if you are outside, comfortable.

27/08/2025: Excellent quality ingredients result in delicious dishes. Kudos also for the originality of the dishes. Prices are in line with the dishes we tried. Excellent service. Parking is a bit lacking.

13/07/2025: Beautiful location. Enter an alleyway and you'll find yourself in a small corner dedicated to food and the experience of this place. The food is excellent, a fusion of fresh ingredients and the chef's creativity. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you're passing through Vasto, it's worth a try, perhaps after a quick aperitivo in the main square. Excellent experience.

11/10/2025: Visit made on Friday 12 September between 1.21pm and 2.38pm (source Maps) 😉

21/09/2025: I had a wonderful meal: the mussels with pepper was fabulous, the chitarra pasta with clams, the octopus salad, and the excellent wine! Everything was plentiful and reasonably priced. Reservations are a must; it's always busy. They don't offer table service, but that's certainly not a problem! Highly recommended!

14/08/2025: We ordered on Delivero. Light pizza, topped with fresh ingredients, delicious. I recommend it.

30/07/2025: A lovely discovery. Very good pizzas and fried foods. Friendly and smiling staff.

05/11/2025: A simple and welcoming place where you can find some typical dishes from the Teramo culinary tradition. Recommended!

14/10/2025: Locae informale, cucina tradizionale, ma ben fatta. Si respira un'aria di famiglia e semplicità. Proprietari giocavi ed accoglienti. Si sta davvero bene e si mangia bene.

15/09/2025: Quality and excellence! We dined there for about 15 days, with excellent dishes, not just pasta, but also traditional dishes and genuine products. The quality was outstanding, from the origin of the ingredients to the sensory pleasure of the dishes. It was an opportunity to enjoy not only seafood but also traditional Teramo dishes and artisanal preparations. Hospitality, professionalism, and kindness complemented all the delicious dishes. We'll be back soon.

31/07/2025: I ordered a small portion of sauce; I sent my son to pick it up, and he was given half a kilo of sauce. Dishonesty and lack of customer service.

11/11/2025: Even though the restaurant has remained the same for over twenty years, don't be fooled by the slightly retro atmosphere. The lady who runs the restaurant is always friendly and smiling, and the service is attentive, even when the place is busy. The menu is extensive and has remained the same since day one. Returning to this place is always a pleasant experience if you appreciate Asian food. The grilled and steamed dumplings are highly recommended.

02/10/2025: We went for dinner as a couple, having never eaten Chinese food before. We were very satisfied. Everything was delicious, quality food at a very reasonable price (prices that are hard to find these days). I recommend trying the spaghetti with broth; they are out of this world! The staff is welcoming and kind, always happy and smiling. The atmosphere is super calm and makes you feel at ease. I don't normally write reviews, but this time I'm really happy to do so because they are truly deserved. If you've never tried a Chinese restaurant, "Il Giardino della felicità" is the place to go for an authentic experience (after eating here, your standards will be very high, though!).

07/09/2025: Delicious pizza, a NORMAL pizza, excellent arrosticini, qualified and competent staff. PS: They also do home delivery.

29/08/2025: It's a certainty in Roseto degli Abruzzi, a beautiful historic place, excellent food and friendly and welcoming service

06/12/2025: Leaving Campo di Giove on my way to Pescara, I stumbled upon this little restaurant almost by accident. I asked if they had room, and they kindly seated me. It was truly a great discovery. The place is clean, simple, and quaint. The food is delicious, especially the handmade pasta dishes, followed by the excellent quality of the meat. The value for money is truly exceptional. Keep up the good work.

27/09/2025: The food I ate was good, with quality ingredients. The staff was very friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed. It was a pleasant surprise.
