Our story

It all began in Termoli in 1976

Bruno and his wife Pina opened a restaurant by the sea and called it Cian — with the simplicity that belongs only to genuine things, the kind that need no explanation.

The kitchen has one unwritten rule: the ingredients come first.

Termoli's culinary tradition is the unwavering starting point: revisiting without distorting, innovating without forgetting where you come from.

The cuisine

The ingredients come first

The menu changes with the catch of the day, the season and what the sea and market have to offer. It is a cuisine that accepts not always knowing what it will serve the following day, and it finds its strength in that very uncertainty.

The dishes are not exercises in style — they are complete ideas, balances sought and found, where every element has a reason to be exactly where it is.

The cellar

Wines chosen in harmony with each dish.

The restaurant's cellar is not simply a place for storage: it is the natural extension of Cian's philosophy.

Borgo Cian

The same philosophy, in another form.

Borgo Cian grew from the belief that Cian's hospitality could extend beyond the table.

Not simply accommodation, but a hotel spread throughout the historic village, created for those seeking the ‘luxury of slowness’ — a peaceful, immersive way of travelling, far removed from the urgency of mass tourism.

The rooms feature home automation, Wi-Fi, hospitality systems and everything you need for a flawless stay.
