Il Mandrone In Isola del gran sasso d'italia

Excellent restaurant with typical Abruzzo cuisine. The lady was very kind... we called the previous day to be able to eat one of the local specialties, callara sheep. The lady replied that she would do everything possible to satisfy us and so she did! We enjoyed 2 mixed starters (with cheeses, cured meats and a soup), 2 first courses and the callara sheep. Generous portions and excellent quality food. Everything you would expect from a restaurant with Abruzzo specialties. Impeccable and pleasant service. We recommend it to everyone!

Good quality. Lots and lots and lots of quantities. Disappointing service: 3 hours for a complete meal: appetizers (cold cuts and cheese, chickpea and aubergine meatballs and fabulous chickpeas with porcini mushrooms), first and second course with side dish. Too long... at least for me.
