About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Abruzzo Italian Kitchen opened in December 2017. As is the Italian tradition, our focus is on the quality of our ingredients and simplicity of preparation. We cook by hand, from scratch, including all of our fresh pastas and wood fired pizzas. In addition to the Italian staples, we offer an extensive shared plates selection, grilled steaks, fresh seafood, and a small but decadent dessert list, all prepared in-house and served alongside an Italian-focused cocktail program and an Italian-centric wine list. Hospitality is the core of what we do: our staff is warm, genuine, knowledgeable, and attentive, and we pride ourselves on creating memorable experiences for every guest that walks through our doors.

    We visit Whitefish about once a year, and this is always the restaurant that is a MUST!

    Good authentic Italian. Vodka pasta was excellent, as was the halibut special and the seafood pasta. Bread to start was hot and fresh. The beet burrata starter was ok. Skip the mushroom chicken pasta. Pistachios gelato was good and hearty portion for 2 to share. The red wine our server recommended was a hit as as the French Sauvignon Blanc. Overall hospitality was lovely, server super quiet, but a lovely experience even with our little one present we enjoyed this spot for dinner and it was relatively quick too!

    Spectacular. Every detail. We sat a In the back bar area , at the bar. The room is delightful, wood pizza oven and beams add to the ambiance. Impeccable service. The attention to detail on menu choices but more importantly to the actual food prep. Fabulous. Eat here now !

    We have been to Abruzzo many times, but within the last year, it has steadily declined in quality. The pasta did not taste fresh at all (and it used to), my husband's bolognese was almost gray in color and he said it was the consistency of gravy. My plate was a mess. Looked like it had been ladled hastily, and to ruin a veal chop is a feat, but Abruzzo completely butchered it and overcooked it, as well as covered it an insane amount of sauce and cheese. No longer an upscale, fresh Italian dining experience. The quality for the price was absurd and we don't mind paying higher prices for quality food, but this was not. Will never consider this as a dining option in Whitefish again. Our family couldn't stop talking about how bad it was, and how we were shocked at the deterioration of this restaurant.

    The food was authentic and plentiful. The wild boar dish in particular was incredibly tasty. Great wait staff and fun, elegant atmosphere. The sound level was noisy at the bar but much quieter in the dining area behind it.

    Amazing food!!! The waiter was very helpful with wine and food pairings. The gelato reminded me of being back in Italy.
