Bar Ottavio In Pretoro

17/12/2025: Camillo's is a great place to be... excellent food... fast and friendly service... they recently renovated the place, making it even more welcoming... I come here often because it's a sure thing 🙂

11/10/2025: This trattoria perfectly represents the strategic backbone of what suburban dining in Italy should be. It's a small-to-medium sized establishment in Villa Santa Maria (CH), boasting the reputation of being the Home of Chefs because its excellent hotel management school has consistently produced numerous nationally and internationally renowned chefs over the decades. In my opinion, Onofrio Caffè is a practically perfect trattoria of its kind. Overlooking the Sangro River below, it has small, welcoming spaces and well-spaced tables. Its menu doesn't exceed 3-4 options per category (appetizers, first courses, second courses, desserts), but each dish perfectly showcases the region and its excellence. The portions are generous and the prices are truly excellent considering the quality of the ingredients. I would definitely recommend the pasta alla Onofrio (which, however, isn't always available on the menu) and certainly the excellent lamb, offered at a very fair price. The owner-chef waits at the tables and is always courteous and smiling, an excellent host. Bravo! Highly recommended for a lunch stop. It's a shame it's closed for dinner...
