I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Abruzzo

20/05/2026: Bolla: where atmosphere meets service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bolla has that rare mix that makes you say "see you there" without thinking. A well-kept venue, just the right lighting, music at the perfect volume for conversation. The drinks are excellent, the food is impeccable, and the details are what make you understand that nothing is left to chance here. Then there's her, the girl in the dining room. And the level is raised even higher. She welcomes you with a genuine smile, the kind that sets the tone for your evening. She's smart, attentive, and knows when to stop by for advice and when to let you enjoy your table in peace. She remembers your tastes, has a quick joke, and manages the dining room with a natural ease that makes everything seem effortless. The combo is this: Bolla sets the scene, the drinks, and the food are top-notch. She puts her heart and soul into it and makes you feel like a guest, not a customer. The result? You leave with a full belly, an empty glass, and the desire to return tomorrow.

09/05/2026: We were greeted warmly and ordered appetizers and a main course with wine. The appetizer arrived after 25 minutes and was very good. After a full hour, the side dishes were placed on the table... ONLY the side dishes! After another 10 minutes, we asked the waiter when the main course would arrive... in 2 minutes... Well, the Filetto di Manzzo arrived, but it was still raw and riddled with sinew... probably the worst piece of meat I've ever had. I sent it back. On the plus side: The waiter apologized and didn't charge us for the meat or the wine.

22/07/2026: A lovely bar and restaurant right on the seafront with a beautiful view. Lovely outdoor tables serve excellent arrosticini, pizza, and a delicious mixed fry. The rosemary focaccia is also delicious. Parking is available just steps away.

21/07/2026: We stayed at this establishment on Sunday and had a great time. It's very clean and tidy, and the staff is truly friendly and helpful. I booked via WhatsApp: they were very kind and kept everything they told me. I recommend it for its cleanliness, convenient parking, and excellent service. The beach is also well-organized: the umbrellas are spaced far enough apart, unlike many other establishments where it's often overcrowded. We'll definitely be back!

24/06/2026: We returned to this restaurant, confirming the excellent memories we had of it! A must-visit when we visit our beloved Abruzzo. They're well worth it. The owner is a truly human person, a rare thing these days. See you next time!

17/06/2026: This restaurant specializes, as the name suggests, in arrosticini. They're delicious and varied. The place could use some updating, especially the exterior. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Prices are a bit high for what they offer.

07/07/2026: Passing through Castel di Sangro, I decided to stop at Sabatino. A simple trattoria serving typical local dishes, this place is spartan, no-frills, and fairly clean. I preferred to make a reservation for lunch; although I arrived early, I still found a table. I tried the appetizer with cured meats and cheeses: homemade and very flavorful ingredients. Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and truffles was adequate, but the sauce was "untidy," a typical dish from a village festival, made in a hurry. The fusilli with white lamb and saffron ragù was more flavorful than the tagliatelle. The pan with sausage and provola cheese was very flavorful. The mutton arrosticini were well-made. The only downside was the service; unfortunately, I waited a very long time for my food, about 2 and a half hours, amidst general dissatisfaction, as all the customers at the tables were furious about it. If you're looking for something good and authentic, I recommend it, but arm yourself with saintly patience because the times are biblical.

26/06/2026: I am an Italian Aurtralian. Travelling over Apennines to Rome from Vieste. 1400 and places with 1500 closing times were all shut. Came across Trattoria Da Sabatino. Said they never close. Fantastic. So good I would not hesitate to come back. Great stop and best plate of pasta. As good as my Nonnas. Steven

15/01/2026: It took me a while to write this review! Unfortunately, I have to say, I haven't eaten like this in I don't know how long! I should start by saying I don't think there was a chef in the kitchen. We sat down with two friends. Among us was a vegetarian, but that didn't seem like a problem from the start, but then... We ordered a trio of bruschetta and two Neapolitan frittatas! TRIO OF BRUSCHETTE: The dish arrived was truly nonsensical. Three slices of bread that hadn't even seen the grill (Wikipedia: It consists of a slice of stale bread, either grilled or oven-roasted), spread with a canned product. The two frittatas were delicious! We ordered three tagliolini with truffle, and here comes the apotheosis. This fresh pasta (not tagliolini) arrived, tossed with the same truffle sauce as the bruschetta. We went to pay, and the bill was hefty. I'm a foodie and I always say: When you eat well, the price doesn't matter. When you eat badly, you're wasting your money! Friendly waiter An evening to forget

01/01/2026: Restaurant Delicious food with lots of variety

20/09/2025: Very nice atmosphere, the girl who served us was very kind. Fantastic arrosticini.

14/09/2025: We were greeted very warmly and sat in the garden. It was cool and we immediately felt at ease. The service was prompt and professional, but what really stuck with me were the arrosticini, they were amazing. I recommend the Patate al coppo, delicious. I'll definitely be back!

22/04/2026: Unfortunately, a bad experience. Easter Monday 2026, €40 per person for a very meager menu. The service (one very young, very rude waiter) was annoyed by our requests and even swore at us as he walked away. We saw the owner for 2 minutes and then nothing. My advice: don't go there during the holidays. Another piece of advice: use people who are experts in the field, not people who can't even carry a plate.

14/04/2026: Tradition in the spotlight. The world's best arristicini. A relaxing location.

16/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, simple yet quaint location. The seafood dishes are well-prepared, made with top-quality ingredients, and are plentiful. The menu is extensive and the prices are absolutely competitive. Highly recommended.

25/10/2025: The restaurant feels a bit dated, but it's clean and decorated in a nautical style. Adequate space between tables and well-lit. Fast and informal service, very friendly and helpful wait staff. Simple, well-cooked dishes and generous portions are what set this restaurant apart.

04/01/2026: We went for lunch. The dishes were generous and of good quality. The prices were fair. Recommended.

18/12/2025: A well-kept place down to the smallest details, very bright in the evening, the outdoor pool with blue lights gives a great effect, the clean lawn with outdoor tables, a shame about the temperature, but I will return when the weather is warm, inside very welcoming with attentive and thoughtful staff, once the order was taken well recommended by the owner, the dishes begin to arrive, hot and cold appetizers all of the Abruzzo tradition, the same for the first courses, handmade, amazing ravioli, the second a grilled lamb cooked well and tender, the same for the desserts, the sweet pizza could not be missed, I highly recommend this farmhouse, reservations are recommended, the place is always full, Congratulations ☺️

03/05/2026: My worst experience in Abruzzo was at this very restaurant. I went there this weekend with a group of friends and the food was terrible. The service was completely incompetent, the menu was meager, and the selection was limited. We opted for the arrosticini, which everyone raves about, but they were a total disappointment: truly inedible. The worst, however, came at the checkout: the owner was rude and arrogant, convinced he was friendly but simply out of place. I even went to the bathroom and the situation was terrible: dirt everywhere, truly questionable hygiene. The overall atmosphere is old, neglected, and absolutely not up to the price tag. It was the first time and will certainly be the last. I hope the authorities investigate, because it's absurd that a place in this condition can remain open. I can't give less than one star, otherwise I would have gladly done so!!!!

23/12/2025: Rustic, welcoming, and rustic. Dinner with delicious traditional appetizers and incredibly delicious arrosticini. Friendly, knowledgeable, and top-notch staff! Best arrosticini in the area!

14/04/2026: I've always found this place satisfying, from the ambiance to the food. The menu is simple but the ingredients are high-quality, especially the meat. The arrosticini, meat, and liver are also excellent... the pizza was delicious, too! A guarantee...

10/04/2026: Since I can't respond to a specific review, I'm forced to create a new one, which is also inevitably negative. I'm part of the group who dined with Cristian Del Vecchio (review below last Monday), and I want to address every point raised by management in response to my friend. 1. Portions: We understand that the quantity choices are yours, but charging €20 for a "mixed roast" like the one served is unjustifiable. The potatoes, described as "mere garnish," were literally counted and, to make a point in your favor, were from the day before. 2. Food: The story about the extra ribs is untrue. As the pictures show, most of the meat was charred and inedible. However, what struck us was the staff's total indifference to our complaints. We tried to point out that the food was inedible from the first course, but we were consistently ignored. The head waiter approached our table only once, saying, "These are the quantities," and then walking away. We were mistakenly hoping it was just one unfortunate dish. 3. The discount: Continuing with the previous point, after receiving charred liver skewers, we expressed our disappointment directly at the cashier. The owner gave us a discount of about 30%, but she had no choice; we were tired of being snubbed and refused to pay such an exorbitant amount. We were advised to stand up and not pay, which probably would have been the best way to be taken seriously, but instead we chose politeness and a "simple" negative review. What I don't accept is that such a review would be taken by management as "a pretext to denigrate the work of others." We know how difficult it is to run a restaurant on Easter Monday, but trying to justify a less-than-positive experience by blaming it on the customer is unacceptable. Best regards, and good luck.

29/03/2026: The place is noisy, unfortunately, and also cold (temperature). Very classic. The appetizer was good, but considering the price and the space, it was a bit cramped. Tagliatelle were excellent and plentiful. The scamorza cheese was also good. Park on the street if you can find it, otherwise on a bend 200 meters away.

17/03/2026: Hidden among the winding, silent folds of the Abruzzo mountains are sometimes restaurants capable of expressing the region with sincerity and in their own unique way. This is the case with Il Brigante Maino, a rustic restaurant that combines the atmosphere of a mountain hut with the domestic warmth of a family home, creating a casual yet authentic atmosphere. The culinary offerings range from the cornerstones of Abruzzo tradition to more diverse preparations, while maintaining a focus on raw ingredients and their most authentic expression. I sampled the ever-present arrosticini, a true icon of Abruzzo's gastronomic culture. The cooking was well-balanced: the slightly caramelized exterior gave way to juicy, flavorful meat. The roe deer ragù dish was particularly convincing, with the fresh pasta demonstrating excellent cooking resistance and a porous texture capable of absorbing the sauce. The intense yet balanced ragù enhanced the meat's bold character without being overpowering, offering an overall harmonious and satisfying result. The only element that partially dampened the overall harmony was the service, which was rather slow that day. Nothing that compromised the quality of the gastronomic experience. Overall, Il Brigante Maino proved to be a restaurant capable of authentically interpreting Abruzzo's culinary heritage, offering solid dishes, authentic flavors, and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy the mountain air.

12/07/2026: Very dirty, messy place that smells like sewer with very high prices and pizzas made practically only of bread in addition to the fact that the bathrooms are very very dirty. It is really in a bad state. I do not recommend it and I tell you this at my expense.

11/07/2026: Terrible service.. we booked in the morning, we arrive for dinner and the table hasn't been prepared.. they make us sit at a table reserved by someone else because there was a ticket with the surname of the person who had booked (and it already smelled bad to me) oh well.. after an hour of waiting to book, other people arrive and in the meantime the others order and also start eating.. are we stupid, excuse me?? 2 "waiters" with a full restaurant.. 0 staff.. never ever again.. 0 stars if you could.. avoid!!!

04/01/2026: I'm giving it 1 star only because I can't give it 0! I placed an order on Deliveroo, 2-3 hours passed, and there was no sign of the pizzas. The tracking system was stuck at "we're looking for a rider," and we were left starving. My heartfelt congratulations for your professionalism, but above all for your politeness. 🤣
