Agriturismo Il Boschetto In L'aquila

On vacation with my family in a bungalow in August we ate at this restaurant several times.... I want to sing the praises of the good cuisine, the fresh fish, the excellent fried food, good clams, very fresh mussels... and also good pizza, etc... everything cooked to perfection in classic style, just as we like it, with excellent quality and fresh ingredients.... We don't really like places that pretend to be Michelin-starred and give you 2 clams with 5 rolled spaghetti and, on top of that, they're not even good.... so those reading this review might be thinking: so what's the problem? Here's how I explain it: on the first day of vacation, we arrived late in the afternoon and went to eat right at dinner time. There were lots of people and we asked if there was room. We were seated in the smaller, semi-outdoor veranda. We ate very well, so much so that on the second day I went shortly after lunchtime to ask whoever I still don't know if he is: waiter, husband, owner, owner, partner... if it was possible to book a table for 3 people ON THE VERANDA for the evening. I was told in an annoyed manner that if there is room they will put us on the veranda and if there is no room they will put us inside... well, if I am booking, it is logical that I came first on purpose to find out if there is free space to sit at the tables outside in the open air, so they could very well check if the reservations for the outdoor tables are already full and if they are, tell me that there is only room inside for the evening... it is my right to decide if I don't want to eat inside not to go to the restaurant... I am pretty sure that at that time they still hadn't filled up with reservations outside.....and therefore if you accept the reservation you also accept the customer's preference....otherwise you tell them clearly that they don't take reservations....here's the point, this way of doing things made me uncomfortable and made me feel like a second-class person, customer because I'm quite sure that if the "commenda" arrived with a Rolex on his wrist, he would have been responded to in a more polite manner and the table would have been reserved for him as he wanted in the pleasant and fresh sea breeze of a beautiful summer evening at the tables outside... I would recommend more attention to these things also for the good of the aforementioned restaurant because a beautiful culinary experience can be ruined by this way of doing things like when I always asked this person if he would bring me the lemon for the mussels alla marinara, I've been going out to eat for 40 years since I was little with my dad and even as an adult with my family in millions of restaurants both fish and meat...I swear that no one has ever asked me why I put lemon on the mussels alla marinara and judged it because it's a shame that they are good like this, it may even be true but if to me I like them with lemon, that's my business, and bring me the lemon without making me choke, thanks!! And without having to explain my choice to you to have the beloved lemon that I like so much on fresh muscles!

One of the best restaurants in Cavallino. We come every year. You can also dine in the restaurant when you're not staying at the campsite. There's ample parking.

A top-class chef, high-quality products prepared with skill and love!!! Even the cake we ordered for our son's birthday was a feast for the senses 😍

Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, and the pizza prices are really reasonable (we only ate pizza). You can watch the pizza being prepared and get it straight from the oven to your plate or to take away. Absolutely delicious! This is what I call a perfect pizza. Highly recommended!
