Osteria Al Duomo

Vieste


Tucked away in a picturesque narrow alley in the heart of the old town, this welcoming osteria has a cosy cave-like interior and outdoor seating under a shady arbour. And it's not relying on its plum position to get diners through the door: real care and innovation goes into experimental-yet-pleasing creations such as tagliolini with fish skin, clams and pistachios.
