The people working here were so amazing, they went very much out of their way to give my family a great experience. The atmosphere is wonderful, seating is great. The pizza, is Fantastic, it set a new standard for me of how delicious pizza can be. We ordered many types for takeout, my favorite was the sausage mushroom and white pizza. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. If you are in Abruzzo, don't settle for average pizza, put this place in your gps!

We found this restaurant while cruising through Teramo in Bisenti, thanks to the many well-placed…read moresigns. It's located in a red building, a few kilometers from the center of Bisenti and well worth the drive. There is a wonderful lady who doesn't speak English but happily seats you and helps you get the best food in town. Their menu changes daily based on what's available. The first day we came we had a choice of gnocchi in red or white sauce or fettuccine (for pasta only, which we wanted). We ordered the gnocchi and were so happy we did. The dish is served with fresh grated parmesan and spicy small chiles in olive oil. We also asked for bread and vino rosso (house red wine). The wine was smooth and light and perfect with the gnocchi, which felt like little clouds of heavenly pasta in our mouths. We returned the next day and were offered chitarra--the speciality of Abruzzo which was pasta originally cut with guitar strings and served in a tomato sauce with ground meat. It was also divine. Tomorrow we are going back again. We asked what will be on the menu and the lady told us it is ravioli pomodoro, fettuccini bianco and fungi with truffles. We will have one of everything, because the food is spectacular.

While planning my trip to southern Italy, I discovered Trabocci and after reading about them knew…read morethat I had to track them down so that I could see them in real life and take photos. From Wikipedia: A trabucco is a massive construction built from wood, which consists of a platform anchored to the rock by large logs of pine of Aleppo, jutting out into the sea, from where two (or more) long arms called antennae stretch out suspended some feet above the water and supporting a huge, narrow-meshed, net (called trabocchetto). IN other words, its a type of pier that fishermen use to fish right off of the beaches along the Abruzzo coastline. What I found during my research was that some of these amazing structures actually have restaurants on them and I did some searching and found Trabocco Punta Cavallucio was one of these restaurants and I made a reservation. The experience was fantastic. It can be a bit tricky to find, but luckily I had noticed the sign while driving past on the way to our hotel earlier in the day. The Google Maps was sending us to the WRONG location! We arrived and it was in a dark area on the beach, but was lit up with little lights. We were the first to arrive (they eat so late in Italy!) at 8pm and the gate to the bridge was locked. I had a bit of a panic attack but then someone came out and opened the gate and we headed into the restaurant. We got to pick where we wanted to sit so chose a "window" seat, although the windows are covered with a plastic covering that makes it difficult to see out. I believe they can open these on clear warm nights and they also have outdoor seating, but this night was a rainy one. It works like this. Everyone arrives and gets seated and everyone is served together. If you're late, they will catch you up. For 50 Euros, you receive your beverage: wine or beer or both, and then the food starts coming out! There is no menu, you are served what is fresh that day. I have posted photos of the crazy stuff we ate that night! We spoke very little Italian and they spoke no English so there was just no way to even know what we were eating except for those few items we recognized, but we tasted everything and enjoyed the experience and everything tasted pretty good. The service was wonderful and friendly even though we had a language barrier. The restaurant was warm and cozy and clean. The restrooms were outside and back on land and while they were a pit style, they were clean and easy to use. This was a restaurant in which we were the only tourists. The people dining were locals or friends. It was casual, but still nice. They frowned when I asked about credit, so I just paid cash. They may take credit, but don't want to. This was just the kind of experience that is completely unique and we enjoyed every moment. It was one of the highlights of our vacation and I highly recommend this restaurant and experience to anyone who finds themselves in the San Vito Chietino.

Decoration reminds me of Greek islands (Cyclades to be precise), but not in a kitchy way. No baby seat, but conventional chairs to fit our "sack and seat". The waitresses was not fluent in English, but able to communicate for our purpose (hurray!). She was also very kind, sweet and helpful. So we had the antipasti sampler to start with. There were 7 little plates coming one after the other. Then we carried on with the chef's special (pasta with garlic and chickpeas) and a seafood spaghetti. Finished with fried calamari and side salad. After all these, there was no room left for desert. Overall I really enjoyed our lunch and I would go back if ever visit Pescara again.
