The story

Osteria dei Maltagliati in Torano Nuovo: Handmade Pasta, Abruzzo Flavours & a Michelin Bib Gourmand

At Osteria dei Maltagliati in Torano Nuovo, the kitchen is run by Federica, Maicol and Niccolò, who believe in buona cucina — good cooking rooted in local wines and the authentic flavours of Abruzzo. The restaurant’s approach is built around respect for the land and the pleasure of sharing a meal with loved ones. That philosophy earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which recognises quality cooking at a fair price.

Handmade pasta and patient cooking

Every dish begins with a handmade gesture: the team kneads dough by hand, selects ingredients with care and honours traditional timings. The fresh pasta, slow-cooked sauces and long, gentle preparations are central to a style of cooking that refuses to rush. Nothing is invented here — the flavours come from the territory, and the kitchen lets them speak for themselves.

A place to stay and wake up in Abruzzo

Above the osteria, a small bed & breakfast offers calm and the warmth of an Abruzzo home. Rooms are thoughtfully furnished with natural textiles and soft light, while the bathroom reflects the same attention to detail. Breakfast is a genuine, abundant ritual: freshly baked tarts, warm bread, artisan jams, seasonal fruit, yogurt and good coffee — all made with local products. It’s a morning taste of Abruzzo, prepared daily.

The atmosphere

The spaces are designed for comfort and tranquillity. Whether dining downstairs or staying overnight, guests find an atmosphere that invites relaxation. The osteria’s setting in Torano Nuovo, a small town in the Teramo province, makes it a destination for those seeking authentic hospitality and food that tells a story of place.
