“The sea on the table”

Roseto degli Abruzzi is a city that lives by and on the sea, and fishing is closely tied to its culinary tradition.

Sea and fishing

Seafood dishes are a specialty of the area, and the fresh catch of the day goes straight to the tables of restaurants and homes of all Rosetans.

The city’s restaurants offer a wide selection of seafood dishes, from raw appetizers to handmade pasta dishes such as water and flour anellini and egg chitarrine, to grilled and fried mixed fish.

The crowning dish of the entire Adriatic coast is the Brodetto di pesce, which has infinite variations. It is prepared with a great variety of fish and shellfish and requires time and attention in its preparation. The result is a unique and intense flavor that best represents the local culinary tradition.
