Food & Drink
The regional cuisine includes delicious game: boar and venison antipasti and pasta dishes, arrosticini (tiny cubes of lamb on skewers), and a colourful medley of fresh vegetables, beans and pulses. Bread is made from local grain, and the fresh pecorino sheep’s cheese comes from the flocks you will encounter on your walks. The red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo wine is robust and highly drinkable, and Italians come from far and wide to replenish their drinking water supplies from the local water fountains.
One of Caramanico’s most popular restaurants is the “Pantagruel”, which serves excellent pizzas as well as traditional local dishes such as slow-cooked wild boar, and they are renowned for their selection of antipasti. Your hotel restaurant, the Pescofalcone, prepares real Abruzzo specialities such as sagne e fagioli (pasta with beans) and scamorza al coccio (cheese baked in a pot).
