About La Vecchia Locanda

Introducing La Vecchia Locanda, a cozy restaurant tucked along KM 48.700 on SS83 in the heart of Opi, Abruzzo, where the road gently slows down and food becomes the reason you stop. When I first talk about La Vecchia Locanda, I usually start with the feeling, because that’s what hits you right away: warm, unpretentious, and deeply rooted in local tradition without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where dine-in feels relaxed and familiar, yet polished enough to linger over a glass of wine, and if you’re short on time, takeaway and delivery options keep things easy and flexible. The menu leans into what people actually want to eat, offering everything from quick bites and small plates to more thoughtful, healthy options, which makes it work for different moods and schedules. Coffee flows naturally through the day, while evenings open up space for beer, spirits, and a well-chosen wine list that pairs effortlessly with the food. What I appreciate most is how late-night food doesn’t feel like an afterthought here; it feels intentional, like the kitchen understands that good conversations don’t run on a clock. There’s also a private dining room, which quietly adds versatility, whether you’re planning something intimate or just want a bit of separation without losing the atmosphere. Alcohol is served with balance, not excess, and the overall service style matches the restaurant’s personality-friendly, efficient, and never rushed. La Vecchia Locanda doesn’t try to be trendy, and that’s exactly the point, because instead of chasing hype, it focuses on consistency, comfort, and creating a space where locals and travelers alike feel welcome the moment they walk in.

Very nice evening. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was a discovery of local dishes, and delicious. English and french spoken. Beautiful performance. There is a nice simple terrace in the back.

Ci siamo stati dimena a pranzo, 6 persone, a vederlo fuori é proprio una vecchia locanda ma entrando ci sono tre locali ampi!! Abbiamo preso un primo a testa ed il piatto era abbondante e una grigliata x due a coppia che abbiamo fatto fatica a finirla!! Tutto buonissimo, cameriere simpatico e anche il conto era giusto € 30 a persona compreso 2 acqua, coca cola da 1L caffè e amaro!!

Mi è piaciuto tutto. Dal locale semplice e spartano all'accoglienza gentile per finire in una locanda abruzzese autentica. Abbiamo mangiato bene ed abbiamo trascorso una splendida serata. Abbiamo atteso un po',ma vista l'affluenza che problema c'è. Evidentemente non hanno niente di precotto come in altri ristoranti più blasonati. Ci ritornerò volentieri. Grazie Cristian ( senza H )

Food was delicious but the service is slow while the waiters are a bit hasty in their approach

Siamo andati di domenica e siamo stati accolti in un’atmosfera calda e familiare. Uno dei titolari, Christian, ha seguito il nostro tavolo con grande gentilezza, spiegandoci i piatti e consigliandoci al meglio. I primi erano semplicemente sublimi — non ho mai mangiato nulla di così buono! Carne e affettati di altissimo livello. Ci è sembrato davvero di trascorrere una domenica in famiglia. Super consigliato!

Discreta esperienza, anche se il servizio è andato in confusione, forse per il pienone: i camerieri giravano per il locale con piatti che non sapevano a chi andassero, primi piatti arrivati quasi freddi, segno di una lunga sosta in cucina. Perché punteggio pieno? Perché tutto quello che abbiamo mangiato è stato di livello (anche se a temperatura non ideale), specie le fettuccine con sugo di agnello, ricco di carne e saporitissimo. Inoltre chi ci ha serviti al tavolo si è scusato più volte. Tutti i condimenti in bustina, igienici ma alcuni evitabili, almeno l'olio ed il parmigiano. Dolce semi-industriale ma abbastanza buono. Conto onesto: 2 primi, 1 mezza porzione di arrosticini, 2 contorni, 1 dolce, acqua minerale, 52 euro.
