04/09/2025: If you're looking for an authentic place to enjoy authentic Abruzzo cuisine, made with love and without frills, this is a must-see. The atmosphere is familiar and welcoming: rustic tables, friendly staff, and a genuine warmth that makes you feel more like a guest than a customer. The menu features the great regional classics, but the real star is undoubtedly the cazzarielli. Fresh, handmade pasta, tender and perfectly firm, served with a rich, fragrant, and flavorful sauce. It's a dish that tastes of home, of family Sundays, of timeless traditions. It's precisely for the cazzarielli that I've been coming here for years, and every time I find the same unique flavor and the same care in preparation. The portions never disappoint, the main courses—like the grilled lamb—confirm the solidity of the cuisine, while the homemade desserts round out every meal with simplicity and sweetness. The cellar offers a limited but well-chosen selection of local wines, perfect to accompany these authentic flavors. In short: a sincere trattoria, built on substance and tradition, that deserves all four stars. You come, you return, and you return again... especially for the cazzarielli.
