The story
Tucked away on Via Porta del Colle in Assergi, Fuori le Mura is the sort of trattoria that rewards those who seek it out. YouTube creators JustUs describe it as a hidden gem where you “eat like at grandma’s,” with a genuine, family-driven welcome from host Franchino. The space is rustic and no-frills, the kind of cosy spot where the warmth of the welcome matches the honesty of the cooking.
The menu is a notebook of Abruzzese comfort: standout dishes include incredible arrosticini, chitarra all’Orapi, and a delicate polpettina in bianco. It’s all homemade, and at around 30€ per person, the value is as remarkable as the hospitality. For a traditional, family-friendly meal that feels both special and unpretentious, Fuori le Mura delivers exactly what it promises.

Dishes mentioned
Polpettina in Bianco
Classic meatball with bread soaked in veal milk, I don't taste garlic, no parsley, there's nutmeg. Dredged in flour and pan-cooked, deglazed with white wine. I like this story of the little vegetables at the start.
Costina
Beautiful rib, perfectly cooked, flavorful, made in a pot. Great stuff.
Fagioli con le Castagne
Beans with chestnuts. The chestnut gives sweetness, it's something new inside the bean. Good.
Chitarra all'Orapi
Chitarra with orapi, a wild herb. The pasta doesn't seem homemade but the seasoning is masterful: salt and pepper management perfect. This small herb is very delicate, seems like what the sheep graze on.
Chitarra alla Carbonara
Chitarra carbonara. The guanciale is well-toasted, great flavor. It's an excellent carbonara, it coagulated a bit because I let it cool, but when it arrived it was creamier. You can feel the hand of a lady, homely dishes.
