Gianfranco Verdecchia, restaurateur and heir to a family of butchers, has always cooked the food that sustained his people. After running a restaurant in Sant’Omero – a hill town known for its festival dedicated to baccalà (salt cod), a staple in the area’s cuisine – he returned to his hometown of Giulianova. Here, in a stylish, secluded space away from the sea, he has kept baccalà as the sole seafood option, devoting an entire menu to it alongside a wide selection of dishes highlighting his first love: meat.
WebsiteWith a long history, this restaurant has a contemporary vibe, where expert management offers exclusively seafood dishes, with well executed classic preparations, elevated by careful plating and lively pairings, often featuring fresh vegetables. Both the menu and the wine list are still handwritten, but the overall quality is thoroughly modern.
