Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Chieti
The province of Chieti runs from the Maiella to the sea at Vasto, and has the most recognisable cured meat in Abruzzo.
The ventricina
Ventricina del Vastese is made from prime pork cut with a knife, seasoned with sweet pepper and wild fennel, and cured in a bladder. It is a Slow Food presidium, and it is cut thick.
The dishes
- Pallotte cace e ove — balls of bread, egg and pecorino cooked in sauce: a meatless dish that fills like a meat one;
- Sagne e fagioli and maccheroni alla chitarra;
- Brodetto alla vastese, cooked in an earthenware pot and never stirred;
- Scapece from Vasto, fish marinated in saffron and vinegar.
The products
Colline Teatine DOP olive oil, the sweet pepper of Altino, and the coast's dried figs.
In the glass
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo and Cerasuolo: this is the region's most planted province.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
