Yesterday, on a Wednesday, we wanted something to eat. We drove to an Italian restaurant, but they were closed. Another restaurant in the same village also. Luckly with google map you can search at 'open restaurants'. After 1,5 hour driving through the mountains crossing many little villages, we believed on a Wednesday all restaurants in Italy were closed. We tried one more suggestion and in a little street we found a very fashenable restaurant with the name Senses. The owner, who also produce the wines and olive oils he serve, has a philosophy that your senses must be stimulated by good food and drinks. You can choose a la carte or a 3, 4 or 5 diner for a fast price. The chef, who speaks English, made for us a surprise meal. He started with an amuse, consisting of a hand made ricotta in gazpago. The taste and structure was so good. But the chef promised us, we will go to next level with every dish. The anti paste was a carbonara without pasta, but with poached egg. With this plate we had fine bread with olive oil. I never had someting that delicious. With our meal we had a very nice white Pecorino wine. It match so good with the meal. The pasta was a spagetti with a deliscious tomato sauce, 3 colour tomatoes, basil and grated rigotta. Only the smell was so good and the taste even better. As desert I had pistace cream with apricots topping and my friends had a cheescake with strawberry and ginger. We ended with a real espresso and get a special digestive with it. The service was very kind and make us feel very special.

Such a wonderful restaurant with an amazing service and very interesting menu and extensive wine list! A real hidden gem. It’s new and they pay so much attention to every detail. We tried a little bit of everything, and each dish was delicious, honestly! The veal was melting in the mouth, and the sauce is out of this world. If you are in the area, absolutely try this classy yet relaxed restaurant, I can’t recommend enough!

We have visited Roberto Dragani and his beautiful restaurant on our trip as wine buyers in the Abruzzo region. Besides the unique location, the artistic ambiance and the sheer endless winelist, this restaurant is a perfect example of a brilliant idea, lots of passion and dedicated co-workers. If you are in the region, my absolute advice is to visit Senses.! Let them prepare a tasting menu of 4/5 courses and be prepared to a lot of “oohh and ahhh’s” You will enjoy the best food for many miles around, the best wines (from their own vineyards !) and the most dedicated owner I have ever met. Will be back soon!!! Kinda regards Wouter van Kesteren Apeldoorn The Netherlands

This is one of the best places to eat near Ortona, Chieti and Pescara. We've been offered a pre-selected menu of fine dishes with 2 or 3 options to choose from for the first and the second courses. Meat dishes and vegetarian options that we tried were excellent! I wouldn't call it a typical Italian restaurant, it's more of a fine-dining place focused on locally sourced products. Staff is English speaking

Amazing food and amazing service. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is beautiful.

Wonderful experience! We discovered this place during our holiday in Abruzzo. Beautiful and chic interior, hospitable and professional staff, wide selection of wines, kitchen of a very high level, really gourmet experience. We took a 3 course tasting, everything was very tasty and beautifully decorated. Special thanks to the barmaid for our cocktails..highly recommended, in my opinion one of the best restaurants in Abruzzo 👍🏻 and definitely the best focaccia I’ve ever tasted :)

Amazing meat dishes, friendly service, very reasonably priced. Really happy we ate here, will come again!

Il menù proposto non ha una grande varietà di portate in quanto segue molto la stagionalità dei diversi ingredienti, comunque sia la materia prima è di ottima qualità. Noi abbiamo scelto di fare una degustazione che comprendeva antipasto, primo e secondo e dobbiamo dire di essere usciti davvero sazi. L’unica cosa è che abbiamo trovato la pasta troppo salata (ovviamente è un gusto personale). Il personale è giovanile e disponibile, unico consiglio che potrei dare è quello di avvisare quando si consegna il menu la sostituzione di un ingrediente con un altro e non dopo che il cliente ha già scelto. A noi è capitato con il dolce dove le fragole erano state sostitute dalle albicocche….il dolce era comunque buono però avrei preferito saperlo nel momento in cui mi consegnavano il menù e non dopo aver già scelto.
