Yesterday my friend and i drove from Rome to Abruzzi hoping to find the famous Ventricina Salumi and did not have an exact plan or a hotel booked for the night. By the time we stopped at Lidli in Rome to stock up on water and buy breakfast ...fresh bread, cheeses and salamis and got on the road, we didnt get to Abruzzi until lunch time when the salhmerias were already closed. So we drove in to the coast and tried to find a nice restaurant for lunch. GPS took us up the hill to a farm house restaurant (which was closed), then a road side sign in the coast took us down a step narrow road that lead nowhere, and we had to back up...carefully!
Ok now slightly hungry we decide to drive along the coast road just for the fun of it and as we get to the seafront we see a restaurant with a good number of people sitting inside. It's about 2:45 ...the waiter glances at the clock and at us and nods...ok. take a seat...yeah Yay!
We order hot and cold seafood antipasto, Which we believe is not so expensive on the menu for 22 euro and a pizza to share among 3 of us and 2 cappuccino...
Wowza...the cold antipasto plate comes out with the pizza and we are very excited and impressed with the quantity and quality of the seafood.
Smoked salmon
Tender octopus salad
Marinated white anchovies
Chunks of tuna
And shrimp and calamari or razor clam salad.
After 20 minutes we figured they didnt have the hot seafood but no...out came 3 hot dishes....wow... then 5 minutes later another 3 more hot seafood dishes...amazing! Delicious and a great value.
