Da Giocondo
A simple, rustic trattoria, perched among the narrow streets of the upper part of the village. The owners themselves attend to both dining room and kitchen, ensuring that homestyle yet flavorful Abruzzese dishes reach the table, sometimes announced verbally to complement a menu featuring cheeses, cured meats, and grilled fare (yes, there are arrosticini!). The specialties not to be missed are certainly the traditional handmade pastas, each bearing its own distinctive name, and the indulgent desserts (the seasonal fruit crostatas are excellent). Also noteworthy is the small wine list showcasing
WebsiteChichibio
Despite its lack of awards, this restaurant stands out for the quality of its cuisine. Situated in the town centre, it has a small intimate dining room with just a few tables (it’s best to book ahead) that acts as a backdrop for good-quality dishes made from local, seasonal ingredients, as well as a few modern and imaginative fish options. Highly recommended!

Simple yet elegant dining room.
