12/12/2025: An unforgettable evening at Grotta di Aligi
On Wednesday evening, I shared dinner with colleagues at Ristorante Grotta di Aligi in L’Aquila, and it was a truly memorable experience. A welcoming atmosphere, soft lighting, and attentive yet unobtrusive service: the perfect place to gather and enjoy.
We began with a selection of local cured meats and cheeses: fragrant, balanced, and carefully presented.
Next, a warm and enveloping chickpea, chestnut, and mushroom soup, rich in authentic flavors.
The first course, a chitarra pasta with ricotta, guanciale, and pecorino cheese, won everyone over: a perfect harmony of softness and savory flavors.
The braised veal in Montepulciano was tender and flavorful, accompanied by potatoes and sautéed chicory that complemented the dish impeccably.
And to finish, a light and delicious cream of fresh fruit, served elegantly.
Sincere thanks to Mario, the owner, for his passion for his work, and applause to the entire staff, especially the lady who welcomed us with kindness and attention. You can sense the teamwork and the desire to make every guest feel at home.
Highly recommended for those seeking a true local cuisine experience in a refined and convivial setting.
