C'era Una Volta In Cappadocia

Excellent family-run restaurant. We had a fantastic lunch, from appetizers to desserts. Definitely recommended. Reservations required, seating is limited. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Last Saturday, after a lovely hike in the mountains with the family, we visited the magnificent, largest beech forest in Europe. Nestled between the towns of Pereto, Cappadocia, and Tagliacozzo, it's truly enchanting this time of year. In Cappadocia, we stopped at this little gem I already knew. The atmosphere was rustic and homey. The food was excellent, with simple, timeless flavors. We ordered tagliolini with porcini mushrooms, mixed crepes, and gnocchi with ragù. For our main course, a very tender tagliata, but the arrosticini were unsurpassed, and the breaded lamb deserved top marks. The desserts were also delicious: a crepe with Nutella for my son, a pear baked in Montepulciano for me, and a crème brulee for my wife. A liter of house red wine, coffee, and gentian. Everything was truly delicious; I highly recommend you come and experience the flavors of our wonderful Abruzzo. All in all, we spent €100 for the three of us, and the prices are still what they used to be.

Fresh produce, authentic dishes. The first restaurant near town that doesn't disappoint. The lamb and tagliolini with mutton sauce (off-menu) are excellent. Friendly service. Great price for the offer. I'll gladly return.

A special place, friendly and helpful staff, truly delicious food. I don't like lamb, but their breaded lamb changed my mind! I want to go back to try other dishes. They have homemade pasta, grilled meat, soup, and various side dishes. If you ask, they'll even tell you about the off-menu dishes (specials of the day). Excellent value for money!!! Highly recommended!! There were three of us and we ordered three brusche (bruschetta), three main courses, three side dishes, two bottles of water, two liqueurs, and a cover charge, and we spent just over €20 each.
