• Zunica 1880 a Villa Corallo★ Michelin The historic Zunica 1880 – and the numbers don’t lie – is reborn within Villa Corallo, an imposing resort and landed estate. Guest rooms are in the main villa, while the restaurant occupies what was once the farm equipment building. Two vegetable gardens, crop cultivation, raising of calves and pigs, plus a new garden and pool, primarily used for weddings and events. The cuisine of Gianni Dezio, an Abruzzo native from Atri and student of Niko Romito, already operates at a high level through two tasting menus – at the chef’s discretion – or à la carte. His stylistic signature is a judicious, ta9.5km
• Osteria dei MaltagliatiBib With a very young team led by Maicol and Federica, this rustic restaurant with an exposed-brick decor only opened a few months ago and has already made a name for itself thanks to its fine cuisine. In the dining room, the wood-fired oven and barbecue grill (the latter uses the embers from the former) take centre stage in many of the dishes, so that old, culinary techniques result in delicious cuisine that demonstrates a fine balance of traditional flavours and personalised modern twists.

• OishiBib Located in the heart of the city center, Oishi offers a comprehensive tribute to Japan in an intimate, minimalist yet colorful dining room that has been recently renovated. This homage to Japan is evident both in the interior design and – above all – in the numerous and ongoing classic Japanese references throughout the menu. Sometimes reimagined with local ingredients and flavors, the dishes range from crudo and marinated preparations to sashimi and nigiri, rolls, some tempura, and more. The wine selection is respectable, featuring Italian craft beers with flavors consistently oriented toward12.8km
• Borgo SpoltinoBib Borgo Spoltino occupies a 19C farmhouse amid hills and olive groves with views of the sea and mountains as a backdrop. This is the perfect setting in which to enjoy typical Abruzzi cuisine (most of the vegetables come from the restaurant’s own kitchen garden). These include traditional specialities such as sweet pizza (alternating layers of sponge cake soaked in Kermes liqueur, pudding and custard – a bit like a trifle – with a thick cream and slivers of almond, either on top or in the middle). The wine list features a good selection of regional wines, alongside labels from further afield.18.3km

The stuffed cannelloni cooked on the barbecue grill are delicious, as is the veal tartare served with a warm meat, herb and vegetable jus on the side.

• Spoon Located in the heart of the historic centre, just a stone’s throw from the beautiful 13C cathedral, this small, simple restaurant with an outdoor space is home to owner-chef Marco Cozzi, whose cuisine is the main attraction here. Having trained with Niko Romito, this chef creates dishes from seasonal, regional ingredients, reinterpreting traditional recipes to give them a contemporary flavour (for example, he transforms pancotto into a cream of bread and Navelli saffron, which he then crowns with Robiola cheese, cime di rapa and triangles of cured pork loin).
