Mediterraneo - TORNARECCIO

My last review may have been harsh but impartial , but this time the experience was far more pleasant and agreeable.

Food appeared cold and the greeting only slightly more warm . The pizza was notable only in its ordinariness however the one saving grace was that the house red was very pleasant. I would return to have an occasional drink but the gastronomic fayre was very middling and underwhelming.

This is not the Mediterraneo now, it's changed name and owners. It's now la fortezza. Building hasn't changed so the restaurant is still a gorgeous setting. The owner? /waiter was friendly and helpful. There was a group of 5 of us and 4 decided to have the tourist menu. To start was brucchetta which was slightly burnt toast one with a slice of tomato and the other a piece of prosciutto, not the most elegant dish we'd seen. Next came the pasta dish, 4 had the ravioli which I was told very nice but lacked any oil/sauce on the dish. The fifth member of our group just had the seafood risotto which was OK but the rice was slightly undercooked and needed a bit of seasoning. The meat course came next and seemed to go well. The meat was well cooked and seasoned. The set meal including wine, water and coffee was €25 a head, there are cheaper places around but I think because the restaurant is so lovely inside they are aiming at a more up market clientele. It was quite busy but The service was quite slow but it's only been open a couple of months, hoping it continues to improve so it stays open. Tornareccio is a great village with plenty of amenities and a restaurant was the only thing missing.

Locale ben arredato, pulito e accogliente. Lo staff è gentile e professionale. Il cibo è davvero buono. Appena si entra semvra essere proiettati in in altra dimensione. Ottimo tutto!!

24/7/2021.Dopo una giornata passata all'Aqualand del Vasto,dopo aver alloggiato al B&B David della Signora Amalia, abbiamo cenato al ristorante Mediterraneo. Bella accoglienza ,menù ricco ,vario e carino(la tovaglietta); abbiamo mangiato di qualità. Prezzi modici e accessibili. Veramente da lusso la pasticceria. Ottimo locale, appena potremo ci ritorneremo. Matteo ,Laura, Ciro e Vito da Lavello (PZ)
