I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Abruzzo

01/12/2025: Unfortunately they have ceased activity!

19/09/2025: Very good dishes, a little difficult to find, the owner is very professional, the place is too small, it seems like a tavern from another era, not recommended for large groups

11/03/2026: It's now a local classic. A family-friendly atmosphere for stopping by and enjoying some food with friends.

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

18/02/2026: Welcoming and clean place. Qualified and friendly staff. I recommend the pizza because it's really good... The pizza chef is very knowledgeable... I was very satisfied.

27/09/2025: We ate here at the end if the season. Very lively atmosphere with large groups of locals which is always a good sign. The food is good, at reasonable prices and the pizzas are large and all dough is made on the premises and cooked in a wood burning oven. Had a lovely evening. I recommend you try this restaurant.

20/12/2025: Kind and very professional staff, excellent food such as the tagliata and pizza which are top notch, moderate prices in line with the average in a location with plenty of parking spaces.

12/12/2025: After 20 days of booking, I found myself without a place available upon my arrival. To make matters worse, there wasn't even any pizza dough available. A truly disappointing organization, especially considering the wait and the planned reservation. Unfortunately, it was a negative experience that won't make me want to return.

15/06/2026: We had lunch at this restaurant with a group of 61 people. The food was good, and the service was generally satisfactory. Unfortunately, there were some unclear aspects regarding the final bill. The agreed-upon price was €28 per person. When quoting, I had asked to replace the fruit with a dessert, as we were celebrating a birthday. The owner explained that if we chose a specially purchased dessert, there would be an additional €2 per person; otherwise, they would serve their own small dessert, and the birthday cake would be paid for separately. In the end, we were charged €30 per person, and a cake was also added for €30. The dessert served in place of the fruit was very small (about two teaspoons per person), and several guests commented that it wasn't even clear what it was. Another negative aspect concerns the payment: I wasn't given a receipt for the cake, and the complimentary gift of one person for every 25 participants, as had been agreed upon over the phone, was not applied.

02/06/2026: Good food in adequate quantities. Adequate service. High prices (two mixed roasts, certainly not generous, cost €50).

29/05/2026: Very nice anti pasto and red wine of the house when we came in somebody had smoked a cigarettes we should have left straight away. The waiter showed us the menu and when we ordered she said she did not have the spaghetti bolognese with agnello but only manzo. We took both the pasta and tasted like the neat from a tin of Eurospin.We never tried that one for sure. Together we payed €55. (Too much )Pizza may be good but they serve only in the evening…

09/04/2026: Excellent pizza, crispy and light! Excellent flavor 👌

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.

08/07/2026: A very pleasant place, both inside and out. We were greeted warmly. They accommodated us by adapting some traditional dishes to our vegan preferences.

09/06/2026: I was in Lanciano on a trip and I found it by chance, beautiful place, very kind staff, fabulous food, if I come back I will definitely go there, tried both for lunch and dinner

05/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, very kind and professional staff

05/09/2025: Everything good... and with good service....!!!!

14/06/2026: Menu: 2. Service: 2. Prices aren't listed on the menu. Basically, everything is terrible.

13/06/2026: What can I say? Very nice place, food, and prices are even better. The menu is presented without prices, which I think is a negative, and it's probably not even legal. Speaking of the food, the portions are very small; the seafood risotto is a rice dish where they forgot the fish; it tasted more like bland white rice with four clams. I was very disappointed because I went with high expectations, but once I found out they'd changed management. I paid €70 for two seafood risottos, a mixed fried fish (very little), a still water, and two coffees. I can't say what I paid or how much, because, as I said, it wasn't possible to find out. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, and I definitely wouldn't go back.

21/03/2026: beautiful place but there are too many bald men

11/02/2026: The pub of my adolescence. Simple but good.

21/02/2026: A simple but welcoming refuge! A place to refuel without any pretensions. The sausage, scamorza, and broccoli rabe sandwich is excellent. We expected the prices to be slightly lower for this location, but in the end, it was worth it, especially for the quality of the products. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful!

04/02/2026: High-altitude refuge reached by chairlift. Service was literally inadequate even on a Sunday in November. The food was incredibly late, and they had very little to offer. It makes up for the Location

08/04/2026: Clean and bright butcher shop offering excellent cuts of meat. Porchetta in particular is always available. We recommend trying it hot in a soft bun, which you can purchase on-site.

01/01/2026: New Year's Eve menu: excellent value for money, precise service, super organized, really very good.
