Andrea Pub

Tucked away in the charming hilltop town of Pollutri, just a short drive from Vasto, Andrea Pub offers a delightful twist on the traditional Italian dining experience. This cozy spot has earned a loyal following among locals who appreciate its relaxed pub atmosphere combined with authentic Abruzzese flavors and warm hospitality that makes every visitor feel like family.

The menu at Andrea Pub beautifully showcases the rustic cuisine of Abruzzo, featuring hearty pasta dishes made with locally-sourced ingredients and time-honored family recipes. You’ll find classic comfort foods elevated with regional touches – think handmade pasta with rich meat sauces, perfectly grilled meats, and seasonal specialties that highlight the bounty of this agricultural region. The kitchen takes pride in using fresh, local produce and traditional cooking methods that have been passed down through generations.

Don’t let the name fool you – while Andrea Pub has the friendly, casual vibe of a neighborhood pub, the atmosphere is distinctly Italian with rustic wooden tables, warm lighting, and walls adorned with local memorabilia. The intimate dining room creates a convivial environment where conversations flow as freely as the local wine, and the open kitchen allows you to catch glimpses of the passionate preparation that goes into each dish.

For American visitors seeking an authentic taste of inland Abruzzo away from the coastal crowds, Andrea Pub is a perfect choice. It’s an ideal spot for those who want to experience how locals really dine – with generous portions, reasonable prices, and genuine warmth that can’t be manufactured. Make the short trip from Vasto for dinner and you’ll understand why this unassuming gem has such devoted regulars.
