Il Ristoro degli Elfi In Santo stefano di sessanio

Attractive location, next to the parking lot, friendly staff. The owner (who cooks and serves!) came out of the kitchen with a cigarette in his mouth to take our order. When we pointed out that smoking wasn't appropriate, especially since there were children around, he snorted and threw the cigarette butt into the street! Good food, but everything was served at once—first courses, second courses, and side dishes—to the point that there was no room left on the table for the plates. The only flaw was the baked potatoes, swollen with oil. But the best came at the end: the bill was written on a post-it note, and when we asked for a receipt, we were given a handwritten receipt (which is allowed in certain cases), which was the ninth receipt since the beginning of the year, and it was September! Average place to eat, but poor service and hygiene.

Chosen for a quick dinner after a stroll around Santo Stefano. The lentil soup was excellent, as were the gnocchi with ragù. The waiter who served us was courteous. The service was more than timely. Good value for money.

What can I say? We had a great time... the place was welcoming... the service was very fast and attentive... the food was very good... the elf platter and the cold cuts were superb... the portions were generous and the price was very fair... what can I say? We'll definitely be back...

What can I say? The food here is divine: traditional Abruzzo cuisine, cooked and prepared with love. The owner is incredibly friendly and truly talented. The restaurant has that mountain aesthetic that evokes the very folklore I adore, and the staff is fantastic and efficient. For those who passionately enjoy traditional, high-quality cuisine, this place is the perfect choice! My family and I are gourmets, so the food made us greedy, so much so that we even indulged in second courses ;) I recommend booking in advance because the restaurant fills up quickly, being in a tourist area, but I guarantee you won't regret it! The price is fair: for the quality you get, everything is impeccable, from appetizers to dessert. A little bonus: Calimera, the cat who welcomes you to the restaurant, is adorable.

Nestled in the enchanting setting of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, this location is magical regardless... the owner, Silva, is a man from another era who, once you get to know him, is the real gem of this little Abruzzo gem, both for his culinary knowledge (the dishes are simply fantastic and authentic; especially the mushroom lasagna and sheep's milk ricotta ravioli) and for his old-fashioned attitude. The cuisine is fabulous; I would return a thousand times; the house red wine is also delicious. I highly recommend it. The only advice: book in advance.

We went one evening for dinner, excellent food, fast service and friendly owner, quite large parking adjacent to the restaurant.

Good homemade ravioli, lentil soup and also good carpaccio of 🐑

Excellent! We'll be back, we had a great time!

Cibo ottimo, prezzo giusto, proprietario speciale: un puro, persona accogliente, colta e onestà. Locale e personale ottimi, come il cibo.

Ristorante molto accogliente, in un posto davvero stupendo. Ho preso una zuppa di lenticchie ottima, glu altri primi che hanno preso i miei familiari e l'arrosto erano ottimi. Consiglio vivamente questo ristorante.
