If you are traveling anywhere near Grand Sasso National Park, a stop into Ristoro Mucciante truly a once in a lifetime experience!!
An outpost at a crossroads in the heart of Grand Sasso, Ristoro Mucciante is a a temple to all things grilled meat!! When in your life are you going to get the chance to grill skewers of lamb, sheep, or pork beneath the huge open sky surrounded by the glory of the Grand Sasso mountains? Welcome to grilling heaven!
Walk into the shoppe and wait for one of the very friendly and accommodating butchers to take your order. Point at which meats you want (priced per kilo) and they weight them out and package them in butcher paper. There's also cheeses, typical cured meats, bear, wine, and liquors. Then take your prize outside where row upon row of charcoal grills are set and start your grilling.
Paper plates, napkins, plastic flatware, and salt are all provided by the house, as are picnic tables to enjoy your feast once the fire has touched your treats to your liking.
If you like to grill at home as much as I do, you'll love this experience like no other. Of course, the drive in is long...and absolutely gorgeous!! Take the time, travel slow, and enjoy the journey, my friends!!!
See you there!! read more
