Agriturismo La Gallina Da Fernando

They say, if Italians are eating at the restaurant, then you know the food is going to be good. This restaurant is our FAVOURITE in Pianella. We have been on a family holiday to Pianella for the past 2 years (and fingers crossed we will be going for a third time this year in August). We stumbled upon this restaurant as it is at the end of the road, from where we stay. The first time we stayed in Pianella, we ate here 7 nights out of 14. The second time we came to Pianella we ate here 10 times out of 14. The staff are all so lovely, helpful and polite, they recognised us last year when we went back and it felt so lovely to be welcomed in a foreign country, that now feels like a second home. The food is incredible. It is classic Italian homecooked, fresh food. We speak very little Italian, and therefore had little idea what we had ordered. The food seemed to continuously arrive at the table and all of it was so delicious. The house wine which is around 5 euros, for a small bottle, is exceptional, better than most overpriced wines that you are served back in the UK. This is value for money the restaurant is not expensive but the food is high quality and fresh. Totally affordable. There is seating both indoors and outdoors and it is in such a beautiful setting. I could not recommend this restaurant more. If you are visiting Pianella, please go and visit this beautiful, family run restaurant you will not regret it. We love you La Gallina!

Incredible experience Highest quality of food, we had three risottos with carcioffi and three lamb stuff. At the end we asked for three espressos and three amoro del capo. When we had the total I asked to double check the receipt because for sure something was wrong. Seriously cheap for the total of €44.00 .

If you are in the area around the city of Pescara, a road trip to the La Gallina in Pianella will be an experience in true Abruzzo country cooking. The ingredients are all fresh and locally sourced. The chef is the owner of the restaurant is excellent. We were there with a large party of locals, ate family style and unfortunately since they ordered everything, this review will not be helpful with respect to individual dishes, Suffice to say, everything was excellent. This is rural Abbruzzo so knowledge of the Italian language is mandatory.

I went to business lunch. we took the menu of the day....good dishes at a good price.

Appetizer, ravioli and roasts made by hand all large and abundant so recommended to those who want to find the flavors of the house! Enjoy!
