Easter lunch in Giulianova: a tribute to the Abruzzo tradition

At the Cristallo Restaurant, we reinterpret this tradition in a modern key, keeping alive the link with the past but with an eye towards creativity and innovation. Our Pulled Lamb on Caramelized Red Onions is a perfect example of how traditional flavors can meet contemporary culinary techniques to create unique and memorable dishes.
An Easter menu without borders
Our Easter menu is designed to delight every palate, with a selection of dishes that celebrate the richness of Abruzzo cuisine, refined taste and the chef’s creativity:
- Easter Centerpiece: We begin with a tribute to the Campania tradition, the Casatiello, accompanied by stuffed calzones, Ascoli olives, fried cream and tempura cauliflower, for a start to the meal that teases the palate and prepares for the feast of flavors that will follow.
- Starter: We continue with an appetizer that combines the delicacy of lamb, served on a bed of caramelized red onions, with the freshness of a mazzarella of phyllo pastry with asparagus, taleggio and walnuts, and the originality of an egg filled with cream of mascarpone with herbed bread crumble.
- First Courses: Our first courses, from cannelloni alla Principe with new artichokes to the artisanal Chitarrina Teramo with meatballs, porcini mushrooms and confit cherry tomatoes, are a tribute to homemade pasta and the flavors of spring.
- Second course: The second course is a masterpiece of flavors and textures, with lamb porchetta stuffed with black pig and chestnuts, served with baked potatoes and fried artichokes.
- Dessert: We conclude with a dessert that is pure poetry: the Genoese pastry pie with royal almond paste and black cherry cream.

The children’s menu was designed to satisfy our young guests too, with a perfect balance between taste and simplicity: a trio of cured meats to start, followed by a little guitar with meatballs (the Teramo tradition also for little gourmets) and a pork cutlet chicken with chips, finishing sweetly with the house ice cream.
