🌊 About the Region
Vasto sits on a dramatic clifftop overlooking the Adriatic Sea, where the Abruzzo region meets the coast. This area—known as the Costa dei Trabocchi for its iconic wooden fishing platforms—offers some of Italy's most authentic and underrated cuisine.
The food here reflects both land and sea: fresh-caught fish prepared simply with local olive oil, handmade pasta like chitarra and sagne, lamb from the nearby mountains, and wines from the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo vineyards. It's real Italian cooking, far from the tourist crowds of Rome or Florence.
