La Bandiera was first opened in 1977 by Anna d’Andrea and is now managed by her son, Marcello Spadone, and his family. Together, they strive to push their culinary vision forward. The well-planned table arrangement enhances the stunning view of the Majella mountains and the serene hills of Pescara. The staff is friendly and makes guests feel at ease. Marcello and his son skilfully prepare the dishes, elevating the natural flavours of the vegetables grown in their garden without overpowering them. They have a strong culinary intuition that is influenced by the local landscape and follows the seasons. Their approach is consistent, with a focus on flavour combinations, cooking techniques, and textures.
