ristorazione — Francavilla al Mare · Abruzzo
On the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo, where Francavilla al Mare stretches its seafront promenades toward the horizon, a seafood restaurant brings the cuisine of the sea to the table with the quiet care of people who chose this work out of passion.
Frontemare is run by a young team who have built an informal, welcoming place, where the staff offer discreet advice and every guest finds the right note. The atmosphere is that of a seaside home open to friends, with the difference of a kitchen that leaves nothing to chance.
The dining room looks straight out onto the Adriatic: the sea is not a decorative backdrop but the measure of every dish that reaches the table. Sitting here means choosing a point of view — quite literally — on the raw ingredients, and understanding why the freshness of the fish is not a detail but the foundation.
From the kitchen come very fresh seafood crudi, chitarrine allo scoglio (guitar-string pasta with mixed shellfish) that have won over regular guests, carefully made fried dishes, and desserts such as the tiramisù that closes the meal in an unexpected way. For those who cannot eat gluten, the menu is identical to the regular one — same portions, same care — with no scaled-down versions.
In the full page, the seasonal menu, service hours and how to reach Frontemare on the Adriatic shore of Francavilla al Mare, where fresh fish meets a thoughtful kitchen.
