Mastro Cibo E Cucina - PESCARA

This is a very expensive restaurant where we experienced very poor, slow service. It is meant to be a place where people enjoy a variety of small dishes, including appetizers, and half-portions of pasta and main dishes for a couple. They serve wine by the glass to accompany the meal. We selected three appetizers we intended to share, and were shocked when we got the bill because we were billed for double portions of the same appetizers (i.e. billed around 50 euro for appetizers when we expected to be billed around 25 euro). Now, the single portions are small enough that double portions were unfortunately necessary, because single portions would have resulted in each of us having inadequately small portions. The portions of wine by the glass were also ridiculously small, the smallest pours we experienced during a three week trip in Italy. The service was incredibly slow because although there were only five people in the restaurant the entire time we ate our meal (which unfortunately lasted about 2 1/2 hours), someone arrived in the restaurant and either ordered a large take-out order, or a meal for a large party arriving very late. The cooks spent most of their time working on the large order, and as a result we waited a long time for all of our dishes. You can eat just as well in Pescara and nearby towns for far less money, so I recommend avoiding this restaurant.

We live in Pescara, and enjoy many great restaurants, but this is a real gem. A lovely intimate space with the most charming young couple at the helm. Rosa could not be a more gracious host, and Roberto’s food is imaginative, delicious, and created with the best local ingredients. It was one of the best meals we have had in Pescara and we will be returning regulars.

A must place to eat while in Pescara. All foods and wine from the region. Staff, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Rosa was fantastic. Traveling with my sister and we were looking for a place to eat and all kitchens were closed at 11 pm (Monday evening). They stayed open to serve us. That’s service.

Very nice lunch sophisticated but still very Italian taste ,menu, at a good price including a glass of pecorino. Pleasant and motivated waiter. Looked at the menu, want to come back.. well done

Italian gastronomy! The place you shouldn’t miss if you love food! Accurate and creative cooking, I loved it!
