I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Abruzzo

11/08/2025: It was simply great! We were happy, thankful, and are looking forward to our next - hopefully soon - visit at Essenza Cucina de Mare and the team there . Grazie!

03/08/2025: A big compliment to Filippo and his staff, for the quality of the food he offers and the goodness... he was able to add an extra touch that deserves many compliments... you have to go and try it... thank you

28/07/2025: Congratulations all round, everything was perfect, from the kind and knowledgeable staff to the service and the delicious fresh fish. And to top it all off, the price was very reasonable considering the quality. A pleasant surprise, and if you're in the area, I recommend stopping by without hesitation!

22/07/2025: Delicious and nice. I highly recommend it 🍀

17/08/2025: A great restaurant with welcoming and professional staff. Some friends and I started with a hot and cold appetizer featuring seasonal fish, paired with an excellent wine recommended by the owner, and finished with a dessert from the patisserie.

14/08/2025: The name describes the place: a restaurant where various breads accompany fish and seafood dishes, crafted with imagination and creativity to create dishes that stimulate all the senses, from taste to sight and smell. We recommend starting with the appetizers, whether cold, hot, or raw, before moving on to the first and/or second courses. Outdoor seating is also available in the courtyard in warmer weather. A good selection of wines from select wineries is available. The service is courteous and extremely professional. Reservations are essential to ensure a seat.

27/08/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant, I highly recommend the appetizers. It's a shame about the wait for the main courses; the head waiter apologized several times, and the restaurant was very busy. These things happen, but I'll definitely be back.

25/08/2025: Absolutely top quality fish, shrimp risotto with centerbe out of this world

19/08/2025: The property is in an excellent location, very close to the sea and well-serviced. The owners are very kind, professional, and approachable. The accommodations are comfortable, spotlessly clean, and constantly sanitized. The staff is always available.

14/08/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent service, Wonderful food, excellent in every way! Highly recommended!

23/08/2025: This restaurant is just outside the city center. It looks great. Large, well-spaced tables. Discreet elegance. Great attention to the wine selection. The service here is an absolute plus. The young, motivated, and friendly staff work together. The bread is superb. I had the mushroom, saffron, and tuna ravioli. Superb. The cream-filled millefeuille was superb. Recommended. One of the best restaurants I've been to. Well done, well done, well done.

22/08/2025: Excellent restaurant. Sublimely refined, with attentive, passionate, yet rational service. A delightfully high-quality experience, with truly exclusive diligence and attention. One of the top five restaurants I've ever visited. Kudos to the entire staff, from the location to the service to the cuisine.

13/07/2025: Superlative seafood restaurant. Book well in advance because it's always busy. Very light fried food and very good, sophisticated appetizers. Good value for money.

10/07/2025: Excellent food, very kind staff, rating 10!

09/08/2025: I returned after a few years but was disappointed. I don't think it deserves a Michelin star anymore. The place is nice and has remained unchanged. The staff is sometimes friendly but sometimes a bit rushed and uninterested. I had a pasta dish (good) and then for our main course we chose the grilled fish of the day. They recommended the John Dory, but the portion was really meager, with a small side of vegetables (they had said potatoes and vegetables, but only the vegetables arrived), for €20 each. They told us they grilled it, but honestly, it didn't taste like grill, it tasted like anything. Plus, we had to fillet it ourselves on the plate, so by the time I started eating it, it was already cold. We got very little meat out of one fish. Too bad, I thought I was going to have a good fish meal, but the portions were meager and the prices were unreasonable. Two dishes with a glass of wine were €50 each. The sad fish in the photo. I had good memories of it a few years ago, but from now on I don't think it will be worth going back.

05/08/2025: Very intrigued by this historic restaurant, which I'd never tried before, I decided to book a dinner with my husband. Recommended Michelin restaurant with average service and hospitality. A nice brick location with maritime decor; don't expect a sea view. We ordered two portions of crudités (5 pieces + 1 oyster and 3 mini shrimp each), two portions of hot appetizers (5 pieces), water, wine, dessert, and coffee. Everything was average; perhaps the best was the licorice parfait. The cuttlefish tagliatelle with crispy Altino peppers came in second, and the tuna tartare came in third. Perhaps the prices need to be reviewed, as they're more in line with the Milanese market than the Abruzzo one.

29/08/2025: A dinner that was nothing short of spectacular! An incredible seafood dinner. We found this place among the gluten-free options in the area, and we never expected such attention and organization, even down to the smallest details. The staff was attentive and friendly from the start. We had two medium-large dogs with us, and they were welcomed into the establishment. The waiter explained the gluten-free options, including homemade pasta, fried fish, and artisanal desserts. A dream for a celiac on vacation. The taste experience exceeded our expectations. A place we absolutely recommend and will return to soon.

28/08/2025: Excellent fried seafood and mixed grill. Excellent value for money. Plus, they're very friendly, which doesn't hurt.

13/08/2025: The symbol of Vasto immersed in a wonderful sea

13/08/2025: Worth seeing if you are in Vasto

13/07/2025: beautiful place. delicious food.

12/07/2025: A unique experience! The location is exceptional; I recommend arriving on time and before dark to enjoy the sunset and the colors of the sea. The service is super efficient, and the dishes are all delicious. The menu is set (including drinks, coffee, and liqueur), and every dish was excellent. My favorite was the millefeuille of sea bass, eggplant, and sun-dried tomatoes with Taggiasca olives and escarole. The portions are well-balanced, allowing you to enjoy everything from appetizers to dessert. The wine cellar is excellent. Book well in advance.

07/08/2025: A sublime lunch! Excellent bottles from top wineries. The raw fish was spectacular, all very tasty and cooked with passion. I also thoroughly enjoyed the two first courses, both delicate and flavorful. A truly excellent lunch, from the appetizers to my beloved gentian. I hope to return. The staff was super efficient, even super fast at times; perhaps a few more minutes would have been perfect before clearing away the glasses and bottles, just to enjoy the last moments. Good luck, and congratulations.

02/08/2025: Always a guarantee. Excellent raw materials, respected and crafted according to tradition. Excellent service.

04/06/2025: Excellent fried food, as well as the other dishes. Fresh fish and prices in line with the competition. Must try!

20/05/2025: Excellent fresh fish and a good choice of dishes: I went a little early and they were still setting up the counter but the fish already on display had just been cooked and was all very inviting. I had an excellent fish salad (made with fresh vegetables), stuffed cuttlefish with a side of courgettes and some very tender fish skewers, spending just over €20 for two people. Even though I ate after about 2 hours, everything was excellent👍👍👍👍

09/08/2025: Super fresh fish, cooked simply and expertly. We discovered this restaurant by accident, but we'll be back. Excellent value.

08/08/2025: Simplicity, yet extreme attention to detail, dishes that showcase the flavors of the sea in their freshest and most authentic form. Even more important is the attention paid to food hygiene, in every culinary preparation, but especially in the raw seafood and cured meats they produce. The staff is very friendly, kind, and helpful. Highly recommended.

05/09/2025: The best fish we've ever eaten. We'll be back, we don't know when, even though we're 6 hours away!

31/08/2025: On the recommendation of the Arkadia farmhouse, we tried this restaurant, also inspired by the good reviews. Excellent rating; the menu is limited but exceptionally prepared. Impeccable service. Excellent value for money.
