Taverna Abruzzese

La Taverna Abruzzese was founded in 1970 out of the passion and experience of the Leonetti, Graziani, and Sfarra families. Since then, the enthusiasm has never waned, and children and grandchildren have continued the path set by the founders. The result is a blend of Abruzzese tradition and Roman cuisine. What you taste today is the fruit of this passion.
