It has many lovely bars often with live music outside them at night, great restaurants and awesome gelato. 🌿 Countryside: Abruzzo has cities, beaches, and even mountains- if the Italian countryside is more your style, let us know and we can help to suggest many little rural towns. Un’ottima domanda — la risposta dipende dalle vostre preferenze personali! 🏛️ Città: Teramo La città natale di Matteo, con bar, ristoranti e caffè vivaci, graziose boutique e persino rovine romane. 🏖️ Mare: Alba Adriatica Se preferite il mare, vi consigliamo Alba Adriatica.

You’re in Italy… eating is basically mandatory, but make sure you try some Abrusseze local dishes 🍽️ Pasta & Savory dishes : - Maccheroni alla chitarra: Traditional egg pasta made with a “chitarra,”-a guitar-like instrument with wires, giving it a unique square shape- served with tomato sauce, lamb, or seafood) -fresh potato gnocchi -Arrosticini (grilled lamb skewers) are iconic. (Make sure you don't call it a kebab, or Matteo gets angry!) -Porchetta Abruzzese – Herb-stuffed slow-roasted pork, crispy outside, tender inside. -Timballo – a bit like lasagne, but made with pancakes instead of pasta sheets. The result is a melt-in-the-mouth to-die-for dish, of which Stanley Tucci is a fan! Pallotte cacio e ov': A dish of fried cheese and egg "meatballs". Scrippelle \'mbusse: A warming broth made with scrippelle (thin pancakes). - Don’t forget to try fried cheese, and stuffed fried olives. 🧀Cheese Pecorino d’Abruzzo – Aged sheep’s milk cheese, perfect with honey or bread. Where: Cheese shops, agriturismi, or as an appetizer in most local restaurants. ☕Breakfast: Italian Breakfast is sweet and quick, with an espresso or cappuccino. Cornetto/ Zappola/ Maritoza - you’re not often very far from a delicious, filled croissant (cornetto) or a delicious sweet pastry. 🍷Wine & Drinks Montepulciano d’Abruzzo – Full-bodied red wine, perfect with meat dishes. Where: Vineyards near Teramo, Atri, and the Abruzzo hills; served in most restaurants. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo – Crisp white wine, great with seafood. Where: Local vineyards and coastal restaurants. Genziana (a digestif) A bitter, amber-colored liqueur made from the roots of the Gentiana lutea plant, traditionally used as a digestive aid.
