We visited this restaurant as a family during our holiday to Abruzzo and the good reviews are richly deserved. The food is simple, honest local fare. Don't expect an elongated menu with lots of dishes; the menu changes depending on what's in season and there...are also daily specials that the staff will explain to you. The restaurant is in a beautiful location with a large terrace that overlooks the stunning countryside. It's spacious inside as well as on the terrace and also has a garden with a very well kept play area for children, all in all making for a very pleasant dining experience. The house antipasti is delicious, especially the warm vegetable stew and they don't overload your plate; there is just enough to get a taste without killing your appetite and spoiling the following courses. The pasta dishes are wonderful, I enjoyed the sugo alla Mugnaia (a thick pasta from Abruzzo that translates as 'from the miller's wife', served with tomato/meat sauce) while my family chose Ragu sauce and handmade Gnocchi with a mushroom/truffle sauce. We were too full to eat much else after that (great breads too!) but did go back a second night, skipping the antipasti and going for the pasta followed by the Arrosticini, which was the best Arrosticini we tasted in the area! It was a shame that we didn't have time to go back and try some of the other dishes but we were very happy with what we ate here and like so many restaurants in the area, it's a family run business meaning that they take real pride over their food. One word of warning, although the address here is correct, the Trip Advisor Map on my i-phone app pinpointed the restaurant as being in the centre of Loreto, which it isn't. In fact it's about 3 km outside the town so trust your GPS in the car instead!More
