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.

I live near the beach in Florida and I'm yet to find a place that is half as good. It is not fancy, and you won't sit on the dock but you have the beach view and you get to see the food in the glass case and order what you want. They serve your food as you order it and ring you up and then you find a table on your own. If you order fried food, they tell you when it's ready to pick up. I feel like this is the best way to get the same as what locals eat. The young girls worked hard to cook, serve, and ring up customers. Many locals were drinking beer so why not. I had a lemon Peroni and it was the perfect beverage to go with the seafood dishes that were having. Knowing that I can't get this food just anywhere, I ordered more than enough. Our favorites were the octopus salad and the bacalao salad. The octopus was tender and flavorful with boiled golden potatoes, black and green olives, celery, olive oil and salt and pepper. The stuffed mussels were delicious and super filling. They come in a red sauce that you will want to dip the bread in. The stuffed calamari was something that I have had but this had tons of filling so if you are hungry order this dish. The fried calamari was good and definitely fresh but needed more lemon or red peeper rings to bring out the flavor. They also had farro with shrimp that looked so good. If you are in the area, don't hesitate, go here. You will have a wonderful meal. If only they could open up a franchise here in Ft. Lauderdale. Oh well, there will always be another visit.

IF YOU GO TO TERMOLI YOU MUST EAT HERE AT LEAST ONCE!!!!!…read more Our family travelled to Termoli Italy to try and find relatives as my grandfather was born in Termoli. We do not speak any Italian and read online that this restaurant was good. Let me be clear...this restaurant is AWESOME!!!! First of all, the people were so nice and helpful. They literally walked us to the municiple building after our meal to help with some translation and also walked us to the best gelato store after our meal. They even called different people to help us try to find our long distance relatives. Second of all the food is out of this world!!!! If you don't know what to order just let them order for you. We had about 15 people in our party and they just kept bringing out different appetizers, main dishes, etc. The short ribs are tremendous but really everything is great. The bill was very resonable and the place is also very kid friendly. Davide, one member of the family who runs this place, will totally take care of you.
