I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Abruzzo

16/08/2025: I've been to this restaurant and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the dishes: very good, well-cooked, and carefully presented. Truly a pleasure both to the palate and to the eye. It's a shame about the location: the entrance is truly beautiful and suggests an elegant experience, but once you enter the dining room, the atmosphere changes. The space is very clean, but a bit too dull and lacking in value compared to the expectations you create upon entering. With a more minimalist and refined style, certainly in keeping with the beautiful entrance, the restaurant would be a cut above. In conclusion, the cuisine is excellent and the service is good, but the dining room deserves a makeover to make the experience truly complete.

25/04/2025: On our way back from a trip to Puglia, we decided to stop at this restaurant instead of the usual sandwich at the service station. Located in an industrial area, the place is frequented by workers. The owner is welcoming, but the atmosphere is a bit less so given its simplicity. The main course was good, with vegetables that I would have preferred warm. So far, so good; the problem lies in the lack of a menu and the owner's subjective interpretation of how she charged for meals. For this reason, I'm listing in this review the prices we were given, which absolutely don't justify what we were served. The first course, for example, was homemade "strozzapreti" pasta with traces of a sour sauce and rare pieces of ragù for €10 (in Polignano al Mare, right in the center, we paid €8 for a first course and it was superior). The second course was €13. All in all, it might be worth the price, but I doubt working-class customers can afford to pay that kind of money for their lunch break! A first course, two second courses, two glasses of wine, a Fanta, a bottle of water, and two coffees for a total of €53...an absolutely disproportionate amount for the location, the setting, and the food offered. Sometimes, being fair and giving your customers the menu prevents inequality among them and the risk of unpleasant reviews like this. Not recommended.

10/01/2026: We ate reasonably well, but after I left I noticed that they had added 6 pieces of fried cheese to my bill that I hadn't ordered, but I'm a gentleman and didn't complain. Amen.

02/12/2025: Amazing place. Excellent food and service. Genuine Abruzzese food.

17/01/2026: As I write this review, I'm still waiting for my pizza, while my friends have finished. Not recommended.

12/01/2026: I hate to give it 3 stars, but after coming here several times, and having eaten very well, something happened the last time that really bothered me. It might seem like a minor thing or something you could completely overlook, but as a paying customer, absolutely not: Guys, it's absolutely not possible that, after dinner, you have to leave the restaurant with your jacket, sweatshirt, pants, and even your t-shirt literally filled with the smell of grilled meat. I mean, does the sliced ​​steak arrive at someone's table with that sort of griddle you use to sear the meat on? That's fine by me, but it can't be done in a crowded room. By the way, another couple at the table next to us noticed the smell perfectly because they came in later, and the guy himself put his jacket down in the other room, realizing the very strong and, at a certain point, annoying odor. Now, we went home after dinner, but I can imagine the considerable hassle and annoyance it would have been if we'd had to go somewhere else, anywhere else, literally stinking and impregnated with the smell of grilled meat. Because it's one thing to enter the kitchen or the grill area—you might be able to smell it—but eating in the dining room like normal customers is absolutely excessive, which is very different from the normal aroma a steak gives off once it's brought to the table. If it were to happen again and we weren't moved elsewhere, we'd never return. And please, especially in winter when it's 2-3 degrees outside, when everything is obviously closed, think about this. Because we weren't the only ones in the area who were annoyed.

07/09/2025: Welcoming place, kind and friendly staff, very nice waitress and excellent food

04/09/2025: good pizza but the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired

22/11/2025: Donato's top-notch service and excellent food! A fantastic place for both kids and a variety of evenings!

13/10/2025: We booked for a birthday party, and everything was perfect and taken care of as agreed. The staff was attentive and friendly, the food was tasty, and the portions generous. This is an important point to commend: each guest was able to be catered to according to their specific needs. The outdoor space and rides made it easier for the children to manage their time. Thank you, Donato, for a successful party.

21/09/2025: A lovely venue on the Tortoreto seafront where you can dance until late. Very friendly staff, DJ Alessandrino, and vocalist Reny are both very talented and professional. I happened to be there on the night with special guest DJ Prezioso. Highly recommended!

12/09/2025: The atmosphere is well-kept and the food is average. The staff is unpleasant, to say the least.

08/10/2025: Nice local eatery with great food and service. Worth a stop!

26/08/2025: Here you'll find the most authentic and genuine Abruzzese cuisine. We couldn't have asked for better. We left feeling truly enthusiastic and satisfied. A warm greeting also to Antonio, the waiter, and to all the staff for their kindness, hospitality, and friendliness. We'll be back soon!

28/12/2025: Very long waits for coffee, but good. Very friendly cashier staff, dirty bathrooms.

27/12/2025: Great parking, the staff is very professional and friendly, the bathrooms are clean and are cleaned every day, every time I have the chance I stop for a coffee

06/01/2026: We'd been curious about this place several times, so we decided to have pizza. The unpleasant surprise, however, was that there wasn't a single pizza on offer; we ate a mix of pizza and focaccia. I don't recommend it.

27/12/2025: Spectacular! As someone with celiac disease, eating out is always a challenge, but they were absolutely wonderful here. They prepared a gluten-free dish for me, and everything was fantastic. It's such a pleasure to eat in such a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy such authentic flavor. Highly recommended! We'll be back.

29/09/2025: The pizza was good, but the one with zucchini was a little bland.

08/08/2025: The cashiers are very kind and friendly but the prices are just not up to par, 15 euros for 4 pieces of pizza and a supplì, crazy markups not even in Parioli.

11/10/2025: This is my second time ordering from this pizzeria: the first time, the pizza was half charred, but I accepted it anyway. This second time, the pizza was completely charred, and I didn't even mention it to the restaurant because it was already in the box. This is a charred "mafia" pizza that should be on your menu. It's shameful to deliver a pizza in such condition, even if you paid in full. I'm sorry, but I advise you not to go there. Those black spots on the pizza should be peppers...

07/10/2025: Super delicious pizzas. Welcoming staff. Super light dough.

01/01/2026: The atmosphere was typical of a trattoria, the staff were friendly, and the food was decent. However, for New Year's Eve dinner, except for the appetizer, where everyone received their own course, the following courses were served to only three out of six people at our table. Each time, they forgot to complete the round, so we had to point this out. With the fried food, however, only one person received a side salad. Finally, they served dessert directly, without bringing anyone at our table the zampone and lentils included in the menu, which had been duly prepaid upon entering the restaurant. We were full, and at that point we didn't even say anything. I don't think it was bad faith (although I wonder how the kitchen didn't realize there were still dishes to serve), but they certainly weren't capable of managing the restaurant's capacity, and perhaps they didn't even realize that someone was always left without their dish.

27/12/2025: Very low-quality food, reheated appetizer, seafood salad made with surimi and a bit of low-quality octopus...

13/11/2025: They heated and burned the meat in the oven. Better to lose two forks of meat than two customers.

20/09/2025: The pizza is good, I miss trying the kebab.. very friendly and smiling

03/09/2025: The best focaccia in Grosseto, always accompanied by a smile!

05/08/2025: Kind, clean, quick in service, they always have a joke to brighten up your day
