Read moreThis is our first trip to Italy and first time outside the major tourist areas (Rome, etc). On our first night in Pescara we roamed around looking for a dinner spot. We happened upon Ristorante Margherita and even though we did not have a reservation we were able to be seated at 8pm. We don’t speak much Italian, just some phrases to get by. Parlo un po l’italiano, parlo male l’italiano. Ma io provo. The gentleman they had serving us spoke great English and was very helpful in recommending starters and first course items. We still are not used to eating 3 courses and our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. The food is incredible. Amazing antipasto, pasta dishes, and meat dishes. The slow cooked sheep meat starter is molto buono. The wine from Abruzzo is a great pairing for everything. The only thing I’d say was wrong was the manager being pushy to leave but again we did not have a reservation and they did get very busy. We were very happy with the service. Book in advance and don’t miss this amazing ristorante! Buon apetito! ANTIPASTO MISTO DELLACASA LA MUGNAIA DI MARGHERITA, ANELLINIALLA PECORARA COSTATA DA MARGHERITA, TAGLIATA DI...
Read moreThis place deserves the hype - especially for the food. Very tasty options and you can tell by how crowded it is that people like it.
We were suprised with some appetizers - and because we were vegetarians they brought us parmiggiano instead of meat - which was wholesome!
Had some ravioli with ricotta and a margherita (obviously) - both of them delicious.
However - whay we didn’t really like was that we started to talk in italian (as tourists we like to try) and the waiter just switched to english by default. Also, when we asked what is without meat - he said like 1 option. And then we said “ok X has meat ?” And he was like “no”… so yes there are more options with no meat.
We also had dessert : tiramisu and pizza dolce - but it was our fault that we had no idea that the second one it’s like a cake. Tiramisu was wayyy better.
Overall experience...
