Damanzi Ristorante Braceria

Drawn by the photos and Instagram profile of this magnificent grill restaurant, I finally ended up in Abruzzo for a few days. My expectations were 100, reality 200. My stay lasted four days, and I ate here for three of them to try as many things as possible. A refined atmosphere, meticulously designed, the service excellent, the attention and care for the customer that is hard to find, and the food: superlative quality, research, innovation, and a combination of flavors that I will always remember. It's definitely worth a try. Be warned, it's addictive! The Damanzi tartare is my absolute favorite.

I have been to this place for dinner several times with my family, what can I say... A guarantee! 😍 Professional and prepared staff, excellent quality meat and super desserts. I would give you a thousand stars if there were!! ⭐ See you next time!

An elegant restaurant serving traditional Abruzzo cuisine with a touch of innovation. Fantastic first courses, and excellent meat accompanied by roasted vegetables. Omar, the waiter, is very attentive to his guests' needs.

Excellent quality, attentive staff, authentic grilling! Many restaurants offer gas grilled food... IT'S NOT THE SAME! The flavor is completely different depending on how you cook it. I felt right at home 🇦🇷! Highly recommended!

Damanzi – Pineto's Starlit Grill Restaurant In August, I had the pleasure of dining al fresco at Damanzi, and the experience was simply extraordinary. Immersed in the summer atmosphere, with a pleasant breeze accompanying every bite, it was the perfect way to enjoy top-quality grilled meat. The service was impeccable: knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly staff were ready to suggest cuts of various meats or explain cooking techniques. The menu highlights grilled main courses, with options ranging from Black Angus entrecôte, fillet steak, Australian Black Angus picanha, and a flavorful mixed grill—not to mention artisanal arrosticini. Selected meats, perfectly cooked, and authentic flavor: a winning combination. The wide selection of high-quality raw dishes was also highly appreciated: tartare, carpaccio, and gourmet selections, demonstrating the restaurant's refined dual spirit, combining grilled and raw dishes. To complete the picture, there's a good selection of wines—including local ones—that pair well with the dishes, and a highly appreciated dessert. In short: Damanzi is one of the best grill restaurants in the area, especially for a tasty and relaxing outdoor summer dinner. I'll gladly return...

I tried it out of curiosity after seeing an ad on social media, and it was truly a wonderful discovery! Exceptional meats and extraordinary preparations! It's actually not easy to find a meat sushi restaurant! The selection of raw fish is truly excellent! Highly recommended!

The courage and entrepreneurial spirit of the two young owners is commendable. When you make so many sacrifices to make a dream come true, you have to open the business as soon as possible, even if labor is scarce—never as scarce as in this historical moment! I've read a lot of criticism about the wait times and the quality of service. Unfortunately, when there's a lack of qualified staff in the kitchen and dining room, it's not easy to provide excellent service. But the wait is worth the taste of the excellent dishes! High-quality meat, exceptional sushi, and superb steak tartare—try it! Tender skewers, cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the wine cellar is also excellent. Also noteworthy are the delicate and delicious desserts, and since the eye also wants its share, the plating of all the courses is beautiful and well-executed! Time will tell, and when everything settles in, I'm sure this grill restaurant will be talked about. After all, they've only been open a little over a month, so let's give them our trust!

Brand new, clean, welcoming place with trained and especially very young staff. Their winning weapon is courtesy and customer care. It is not a given to find it around! Excellent sushi, excellent meat and fresh desserts made directly by them! A vast menu that is not enough to go there just once... Try it and believe it!

This restaurant is on a whole other level compared to the competition. I'm from Ascoli Piceno, and I come here for dinner at least once a month because everything is truly delicious. The place is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff recommends the best wine to go with the meat you choose. The price is totally reasonable for the quality of the meat, and the mini tartares are amazing. The first courses are also a must-try. Worth a try even if you're not from the area!

Definitely worth a try! Typical Abruzzo cuisine with just the right touch of innovation: the meat sushi is brilliant! All the dishes were excellent, you could easily finish them off. The staff is truly friendly and helpful. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Great place! For those who love meat, I recommend Beef sushi - original! They have dry-aged meat. Tasty burger.

An absolutely must-do culinary experience, the information on the dishes, given by the decidedly competent staff, is very precise and clear. The tasty dishes, appetizers to absolutely try and the good wines with a lot of choice. The service times are adequate, the place is very well looked after and all the staff are available, no problem even for celiacs. I highly recommend it, I will definitely return.
