Il Sestante - ORTONA

Gabriella is an icon of fish cuisine on the Adriatic coast

You forgive everything because you eat like a god, but the service. It's a little too informal.

The throat to eat fresh fish and well worked. a spigot (carpaccio) with pink pepper with a dish of medium rough scampi, to lick the mustache. a complete and cooked broth with skill. even having brought to our table few different dishes, we were all happy. However, with the full room, the kitchen goes into the hallway and the service becomes slow. very honest prices, especially for the quality of fish.

The local we were reported by an acquaintance who makes the fisherman . fresh fish wisely cooked fair price . courteous staff in particular gives the waiter.

For a few years in the family we are regular customers and we often choose the sedent for various celebrations. indisputable quality of the raw material, always fresh fish prepared by the wise and expert hands of the friendly cuoca gabriella that, at the end of the meal, loves to entertain with the commensali. It is a very familiar and welcoming environment, completed by the service in the basil room, husband of the cook, apparently austere and detached, but in his ironic way and the ready joke. If you love the raw, be they crustaceans, seafood, tartare or untied, you are definitely in the right place: Excellent level. among the appetizers they make prefer the cold to the warm. first of good level, but to excel are all the dishes whose protagonist is the fresh fish: in the oven, grilled or fried, whatever your choice is definitely the right one. a note of merit also for handmade desserts from the same gabriella: tiramisù, Catalan cream, sweet pizza to name a few. In short, if you want to eat some excellent fresh fish, cooked in a simple and delicious way according to the marine tradition, you must try at least once the dishes of gabriella. I don't give five stars just because sometimes you pay a little more, especially if you exaggerate with the raw and the good wine.
