CasaPratti Pescara centro

A good trattoria located in the historic neighborhood that gave birth to literary giants Ennio Flaiano and Gabriele D’Annunzio, two of the city’s most celebrated figures. Operating for over 40 years, it has “survived” both a move (originally at number 58) and a change in management (in 2020) without losing an ounce of its soul. The cuisine is rustic and unpretentious, flavorful, generous, and deeply rooted in Abruzzese tradition.

Situated near the seafront in one of Pescara’s iconic streets, Nole offers guests two different dining options: the bar-bistro section serves excellent breakfasts, light lunches and snacks (closed in the evening), while the minimalist, contemporary-style dining room is home to the main restaurant.

In the heart of the seaside area, within a pedestrian zone, the historic *Società Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso* (SOMS) is now a delightful venue with a cozy, slightly contemporary dining room. It offers cuisine tied to Abruzzese traditions, both land and sea, executed with originality. The discreet and knowledgeable service, including the wine selection, along with an outdoor space to enjoy pleasant summer evenings, completes the experience.

This old acquaintance of the Michelin Guide now has a new chef at the helm! Although the decor and furnishings remain the same with a slightly old-fashioned feel, the cuisine is modern yet with no unnecessary frills and has a fresh and generous flavour. Highlights on the menu include the new raw fish options, which have an entire tasting menu to themselves. The well-stocked wine cellar is home to around 500 labels which offer good value for money.
