Retrobottega

Retrobottega

Well-presented small plates that tell the story of the land, served in a casual dining room with just two communal tables (and a six-seat chef’s counter serving a 20-bites tasting menu) are the order of the day at this exciting wine shop, pasta bar and restaurant. Chefs Giuseppe Lo Iudice and Alessandro Miocchi forage every week in several pristine areas of Abruzzo and the menu reads like a dialogue between them and the region’s best artisan farmers. Expect unusual flavour pairings such as wild boar tartare with grilled squid, as well as a clever wine list focusing on small producers.

Tasting menus featuring inventive dishes paired with wine, in a minimalist, edgy space. Minimalist decor and clean lines characterise this restaurant decorated in dark tones, where the two owner-chefs have both worked in various Michelin-starred restaurants (and others) over the years. Modern cuisine which showcases seasonal ingredients in regional yet refined dishes.
