A nougat coffee worth the break
One afternoon, I decided to treat myself to a break at Bar FratelliNurzia with my son, and it was an elegant, warm, and authentic experience.
The establishment, located in the heart of Piazza Duomo, with its history dating back to 1835 and its art nouveau atmosphere, is perfect for stopping, taking a breather, and enjoying something unique.
We ordered the famous nougat coffee, perfectly balanced between the intense aroma of coffee and the smooth sweetness of the "Nurzia" nougat from L'Aquila.
The texture is enveloping, the flavor delicate yet bold.
This sweet moment complemented the elegance of the establishment and the kindness of the service.
Special thanks to Gianluca and Giuly, the baristas who welcomed us with great kindness, smiles, and professionalism: they guided us in our choices, explaining the history of nougat, and making the break even more special.
And I can't help but mention the owner, Natalia, who, even though she wasn't there, I already know, and I know how much love and care she brings to this family project.
The result? A place where time slows down, flavor is celebrated, and humanity is felt.
A full five-star rating.

A historic venue that exudes a sense of pleasure. Excellent food, especially the ice cream and nougat, house specialties. The coffee is also good. The atmosphere is very charming, on par with other famous historic venues.

Unique in the world. Anyone who visits L'Aquila should come here at least once in their life. Enjoy coffee with nurziatella!

An institution. A vintage bar/restaurant with a few tables outside.
Sensational gelato and Nunziatella.

They're fantastic. Here you can find Nurzia products, a centuries-old tradition in the art of nougat, locally sourced.
I just bought the spreadable cream, made half an hour earlier.
You must try the nougat coffee, their specialty.
The staff is friendly, helpful, and kind.
It's a pleasure coming here every time.

A wonderful café with a vintage atmosphere located in L'Aquila's main square. Besides traditional coffees, don't miss their special "caffe con il torrone," a delicacy. The café also sells many nougat-related products. You can sit outside or enjoy at the counter. A must-see in L'Aquila! The staff is friendly and very helpful.
