The best restaurants Abruzzo

On the road that leads from Atri to Silvi, here is a place dedicated to the regional gastronomy, where the locals go back and forth constantly. The atmosphere is warm and familiar. We like the big wooden tables and the stone niches in the walls. The menu features grilled meats, seasonal products from the Atri countryside and personalized service. During the nice days, it is possible to eat outside. A very pleasant address, about ten minutes from Atri.

Located in the center of town, in front of the Sangro River, Il Picchio is a popular establishment for locals and visitors to Pescasseroli. Large rustic tables stretch towards the back of the room, giving the place a warm atmosphere. The food is tasty, simple, the dishes are hearty and the service very pleasant. Both restaurant and pizzeria, Il Picchio puts everyone in agreement! A very good address to eat in Pescasseroli, with a quality-price ratio more than correct.

This trattoria is aptly named, as the menu features Abruzzo specialties, each more tasty than the next. Without a doubt, the homemade pasta is the one to choose!

About ten minutes by car from Loreto Aprutino, in Civitella Casanova, is probably one of the best restaurants in the area. In a very elegant setting, the Abruzzo cuisine, between tradition and innovation, is shaped by the skillful chef Marcello Spadone, his wife and sons.

For a moment of gastronomic poetry.

Behind a discreet display, in a street of the historic centre, it is a beautiful gastronomic cuisine of the sea that is concocted here.

The initiative to open a restaurant on the platform of a trabocco, this fisherman cabin on stilts, could only arouse interest.

We move closer to the «fusion food» with the pecorino-shaped pecorino, saffron gnocchetti gnocchetti, courgettes and ricotta ricotta, or stuffed rabbit to the accommodated sausage of potato cream.

They are pressurized every night, with a hint to make full iodine. The framework is not the most authentic: A modern building with large windows and aseptised decoration, reflecting, perhaps, the impeccable freshness of the products. And we have to recognize that they are very well cooked and developed.

Simple cuisine, rustic surroundings, Rusticana is a classic restaurant on the seafront. Mario, the emblematic patron, does not miss any service and keeps the grain with the sharpened eye of a service eagle.
