From the sea to the mountains
On the last Sunday of August, tired of the sea heat, we decided to head to the mountains for a cool breeze and pair it with an excellent mushroom lunch. Chalet number 7 was exactly what we were looking for.
The mushroom appetizers were delicious, but the porcini carpaccio deserved a special mention.
Burrata ravioli with porcini mushrooms and lemon slivers, a truly excellent dish, where the sweetness of the burrata contrasts with the bitterness of the lemon, creating a whirlwind of flavors.
The fried Ascolana pasta, paired with a delicious fried porcini mushroom cap, and to finish, the grilled lamb, mutton, and porcini mushrooms, all simply delicious.
The staff were very friendly and willing to recommend the right portions of each dish.
Excellent, it was worth traveling a few kilometers to discover this splendid "Chalet number 7."

Excellent local dishes (including the renowned "calara" mutton and grilled lamb), a lovely atmosphere, and a very friendly owner. Prices are reasonable (€30 per person for starters, main courses, side dishes, dessert, and coffee). Highly recommended!

If you're a porcini mushroom lover, you can't miss Romolo and Stefania in Valle Castellana, nestled in the Laga mountains. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are incredibly friendly. They offer a variety of appetizers, but I opted for the porcini mushroom selection. From crostini to frittatina and other delectable combinations, this was followed by the delicate porcini burrata and lemon ravioli and the mouth-watering porcini and guanciale tagliatelle. My only regret was not having tried the grilled porcini mushrooms, but I made do with the delicious pistachio tiramisu. In short, a top culinary experience. I'll definitely repeat it (as soon as possible).

A restaurant off the beaten tourist track, where the courage of the young owners is truly remarkable. The first page of the menu tells a beautiful story of the birth and realization of their dream.
The porcini mushroom dishes are truly excellent, from the salads to the grilled heads and fried porcini mushrooms. The lamb offal is among the best I've ever tasted, and the first courses are top-notch.
The pecorino alla callara (sheep stew) deserves a special mention. It's indescribable and a must-try. Congratulations on your professionalism combined with your uncommon kindness.

Unprecedented culinary experience. Romolo is a great, kind, and professional host. We asked him to recommend the most suitable menu, entirely based on mushrooms 🍄! Fabulous porcini mushrooms "in every sauce" 🤣. 80s music in the background, "Special Remember"! We'll be back to visit you with friends and family. Good luck guys, and congratulations again! 👍

We'll be back as soon as possible!
Good, fresh, simple ingredients that explode in your mouth.
The homemade flavors taken to another level, especially the incredible ravioli, almost had us melting: delicious mushrooms (and I don't usually like them) and spectacular ravioli filling!
They can add truffle upon request, which we obviously didn't miss out on (it's also divine, even in summer).
Another mention goes to the scrambled egg with truffle, simple yet spectacular.
Very fair prices.
I truly recommend you stop by. We've already paid our compliments to the staff in person, and we'll see you soon!
