D: Why and what do you like about Teramo?R: One of the good things about Teramo is its location both close to the sea and the mountains of Gran Sasso, and also not far from a bigger metropolis like Rome.
Also its gastronomy, that could be extended to all Italy, is rich and rooted to traditions, something I really appreciate.
D: What is your favourite food local dish/food?R: Obviously here arrosticini must be mentioned, the delicious roasted sheep meat skewers. But also many pasta dishes like spaghetti alla chitarra con pallotine, pecorino cheeses or the much loved Easter dish, Le Virtù.
