Experience an Authentic Home Restaurant in Abruzzo – Max and Molly  at Casa Faraone

Our home restaurant Max and Molly at Casa Faraone which is nestled between the Majella Mountains and the Aventino Valley close to Fara San Martino in Chieti, offers a unique home dining experience.  We are members of the Home Restaurant Hotel Group which allows us to host occasional dinners in our home while ensuring everything is legally covered.

We host exclusive dining events once or twice a month, creating a relaxed and informal setting where guests can meet and chat over delicious homemade food paired with outstanding local Abruzzesi and Italian wines. Thanks to word-of-mouth, we’ve built a loyal following that appreciates great food, good company, and an intimate atmosphere.

Seasonal Menus with Italian & International Flavours

Our menus are inspired by traditional Italian cuisine with a touch of international fusion. We use seasonal, locally sourced ingredients to ensure every dish is fresh and full of flavours.

A Stunning Location in Chieti Province, Abruzzo

During the warmer months, guests can dine on our panoramic terrace, enjoying breathtaking views of the Abruzzo countryside. In cooler months, we move indoors into our cosy dining room—artfully decorated by Molly—which offers a warm and inviting atmosphere.

If you’re considering purchasing property here, it’s worth keeping a few things in mind and having a network of friends and invaluable local contacts. Whether you need a translator, a reliable tradesperson, recommendations for utility providers, or simply a fantastic place to eat, connections make life easier.  That’s where Casa Faraone’s warm and welcoming home restaurant comes in. It’s more than just a place to enjoy delicious food and great local vino—it’s where people meet, make friends, and share those little secrets and tips that make settling into Abruzzo even more special.

What better way to build your community than over a great meal and a glass of wine?
