If you're looking for an authentic experience of Abruzzo’s rich culinary traditions, Taverna 58 in the heart of Pescara is a must-visit. Located on the iconic Corso Manthonè, this gem stands out for its refined and innovative take on classic Abruzzese dishes.okok
During my visit, I had the pleasure of savoring the Coniglio dei Prati di Tivo, a beautifully tender rabbit dish with fresh herbs that take you straight to the heart of the Abruzzo countryside. The Falsomagro di Vitello Stracotto was another standout — a slow-cooked veal roulade that’s perfectly balanced with a rich, flavorful sauce, offering a true taste of tradition. The Pallotte di Ricotta di Pecora — sheep ricotta meatballs — were heavenly, delicate, and full of flavor, making them a must-try for anyone fond of authentic regional dishes.
In addition to these delights, the Tartare Beef prepared at the table is another exceptional dish that showcases the restaurant's attention to detail and fresh ingredients. The Sublime Frittatina, an omelette made with fresh garden herbs and goat cheese, was another highlight that I highly recommend.
What really sets Taverna 58 apart, however, is not just the food, but the outstanding service. The staff is exceptionally professional and polite, making each visit feel like a special occasion. Even my furry friend, Pippin, was treated like royalty, being offered a bowl of refreshing spring water from the Maiella, which added a personal touch that truly elevated the experience.

Read moreWe have eaten here several times, and every time is excellent. The menu is abruzzese, but with many interesting twists and original dishes, and anything you order should be tasty. Most recently, we had the arrosticini e pecorino dolce di altri grigliato and a white bean dish as antipasti; gli strangozzi alla borbonica as a primo; la frittata sublime and a grilled or roasted veal dish as secondi; lo zabaglione caldo al marsala and the forte e gentile as dolci; and a nice bottle of cerasuolo. The antipasti were tasty and perfectly spiced; the veal was perfectly tender and perfectly cooked; the frittata melts with goat cheese; the desserts are sublime. Quick and professional service, cosy atmosphere, and extra points for having printed menus and playing classic jazz music (rather than the tuneless and soulless club music that many otherwise good restaurants in this area play). Definitely make a reservation in advance, as they are usually fully booked at least a...
Read moreI have travelled to many places in Italy from north to south. Enjoying authentic cuisines from all regions including places within Pescara. But this had to have been the worst Italian restaurant I have had across all of Italy. Google Reviews are typically great to follow but I’m blown away on how this place got such high marks. We were 6 people and each meal worse than the other. They even charged us for dishes we didn’t get…. I’m not one to write reviews but I just couldn’t pass on this one…. Sorry!...
