A legendary trattoria on the Vasto coast serving the best brodetto alla vastese I've ever had — the fame is well deserved.
Dishes mentioned
Insalata di Polpo con Peperoni
Octopus salad with yellow peppers — the octopus is tender, the peppers are fresh. A classic antipasto of these areas, simple but delicious.
Sgombro a Temperatura con Cipollina Agrodolce
Mackerel served at room temperature with sweet and sour onion — a simple preparation with good oil, a fish that's often underestimated but abundant here. Delicious.
Polpettine di Pesce
Fish meatballs with pine nuts — phenomenal, really good.
Capasanta Gratinata
Scallop gratin — very sweet, with a great breading. Delicious.
Canocchia Ripiena
Stuffed mantis shrimp — if you try to eat the shell, you'll hurt your mouth, but the filling is delicious. Reminds me of that amazing sauce of shelled mantis shrimp we had on Procida island.
