17/04/2026: Thank you, it was delicious. I recommend it :-) Have a nice day.

28/02/2026: Speechless experience, I am still enjoying the unbelievable combination of excellent French cheese and wine!

07/04/2026: Simply fantastic. The place is rustic, familiar, authentic. The food is excellent at more than fair prices.

24/03/2026: Welcoming place, excellent service The menu is limited, but the dishes are tasty.

03/04/2026: The pasta is fresh and the portions are excellent too, the wood burning fireplace and the decoration are nice

29/12/2025: Excellent in every way The food is sublime Well cooked Excellent. I would recommend this osteria for its quality and price, with its old-fashioned flavors.

25/02/2026: Very kind owners. Completely satisfied with the food. I returned a second time and my positive impressions were confirmed. Thank you so much.

02/10/2025: We all thought the food a location over looking the Bay was just amazing and all found by chance

28/12/2025: I went last night for the first time, beautiful experience

27/02/2026: Some say: come on, eat piadina in Abruzzo!! But no, come and eat this piadina because it's made to order, rolled out, cooked, and filled on the spot, and you can taste it right away. Tasty and fragrant, very light and thin. Good, good, good. Very friendly husband and wife team, reasonable prices, and in a convenient location in Castel di Sangro. It's definitely worth coming here to alternate with the usual restaurants and typical local trattorias (all good, mind you) 🤩 Piadina and drink for less than €10 per person. Enjoy your meal!

26/02/2026: Beautiful location and good food, but few vegetarian options. The service is mediocre and needs improvement, and the owner is truly unfriendly. We booked for lunch with a two-and-a-half-year-old, and when we arrived, there wasn't even a high chair available. When we asked for parmesan cheese to put on the polenta with the sauce, the hostess replied irritably, "We don't use that here." During service, the staff spilled water on the table and didn't even bother to mop it up. We asked for two bitters and were charged for them—nothing wrong with that, except that other customers were offered them!

07/02/2026: Piano B is a truly delightful discovery in the heart of Rocca di Cambio. This bistro perfectly blends a traditional mountain atmosphere with a modern, refined style, creating a warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. The decor features natural materials like wood, the lighting is soft, and the atmosphere is intimate and well-organized, just as the photos on social media demonstrate. The location is excellent, central, and extremely convenient for those visiting the area, even first-time visitors. As for the food, we ordered: • a classic beef tartare, meaning raw meat, extremely fresh and of excellent quality, with well-balanced flavors • a portion of classic fries, crispy and well-fried • polenta with mushrooms, served hot and flavorful (we chose not to add truffle for personal taste) • lentils and potatoes, off the menu, a simple yet authentic dish, reminiscent of traditional local cuisine • a scamorza cheese melted with duck speck, truly excellent, tasty, and well-balanced To accompany our meal, we ordered a bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, expertly recommended by the staff. The wine was discounted, as was the final bill: €74, rounded up to €70. At the end of the meal, a further gesture of great hospitality: we were offered two grappas, a detail that is always appreciated and leaves an even better memory of the experience. A special mention goes to waiter Gabriele, who served us with great attention and professionalism. He was truly skilled at recommending what was truly worth trying, guiding us through both on- and off-menu dishes with sincerity and expertise, without ever being intrusive. This is a significant added value, especially for those unfamiliar with the local cuisine. Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly recommended on weekends and holidays. The only small point that could be improved is the menu, which offers limited choices. In my opinion, expanding it by adding new options, without removing existing ones, would make the offering even more comprehensive. Overall, it was a very positive experience in every way: quality ingredients, well-executed dishes, pleasant atmosphere, excellent location, and excellent value. A well-deserved five stars, we'll definitely be back.

30/01/2026: Very difficult to find, especially at night.

26/10/2025: Today we spent a wonderful day at Al Fortino Da Gilda! I entrusted her with the baptism and first birthday party for my niece because I knew she would curate the dining room with taste and elegance, and the menu with professionalism, passion, and culinary creativity! And so it was: all the guests complimented us on the food, the hospitality, the atmosphere... Thank you so much! 💕

29/12/2025: 5-star food, pizza chef Franco is a guarantee. I give the pizza a 10. 5-star service, impeccable waitresses, attentive to what was happening in the dining room and ready to answer any request very quickly. 5-star atmosphere, but that's nothing new because Ristofficina is a great place to be whether you're alone, as a couple, for a business dinner, or with children in tow. The price is very fair. After a day at work, we at ELETTRO wanted to eat something good, and in a welcoming place, we had a great time at Ristofficina. Thank you all. Highly recommended.

17/12/2025: Very poor service, cold food, then at the end a member of staff went berserk with colleagues in the presence of families with children, depressing!

17/04/2026: It’s a great place for a stopover on the route from Vasto to Ortona. We had a delicious meal (panini and salad) and were kindly assisted by both the staff and the owner. The owner was very helpful when it turned out the bike battery was empty and even charged the bike for us.

29/12/2025: Eating with this view was indescribable. I highly recommend a break here.

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.

08/04/2026: This morning I had a horrifying experience at this place. While drinking my plant-based milk, I heard a clink: there was a sharp shard of glass at the bottom of the glass. If I hadn't noticed it in time, the consequences would have been dire. The most shocking thing was the staff's reaction. After showing the glass to the bartender (who limited himself to a trivial apology), I was ignored for the rest of my stay. When it came time for the bill, not only was I not offered any concrete apology or courtesy, but I was told with extreme superficiality: "It can happen!" They even charged me for the drink that could have sent me to the hospital. A total lack of professionalism and respect for customer safety. Highly not recommended.

06/04/2026: Very nice...friendly, good coffee and good products...try their local product, the house specialty....it's like a donut...very good...

26/01/2026: A farm with a simple and welcoming restaurant where you can also choose from a freshwater menu; the trout is the best I've eaten in the area. It's definitely a place you'll want to return to, and so I'll be back as soon as I can!

20/01/2026: Excellent place, and the trout and fish dishes are highly recommended, but the meat a little less so. Service was a bit slow; we waited an hour.

12/12/2025: We heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and, attracted by so many nice words, we decided to go there for lunch... or rather we thought about going... the phone number doesn't seem to exist, there's no way to get in touch with them, they don't have a mobile number but only a landline, no social media pages... and furthermore, reading the opening hours here on Google, I realized that they are open 45 hours for lunch (perhaps for the short lunch break of the workers who are nearby) and two hours for dinner.

05/12/2025: All special, legendary Rossana, great Emma

01/04/2026: Francavilla al Mare's historic butcher shop is a go-to for porchetta. A wide selection of fresh meats, cheeses, olive oil, and cured meats. Ample outdoor parking. Accessible for those with limited mobility. Attentive, polite, friendly, fast, capable, and knowledgeable staff. Bright and clean environment.

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