Il Ristoro degli Elfi In Santo stefano di sessanio

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.

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

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.

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

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

A quaint, welcoming place with delicious food. Plus, the owner is very pleasant and kind, as are all the staff! We'll be back 😀 Silvia and Andrea (those who fled Rome in search of a cooler climate... found it!)

Delicious food, typical with a homely flavor. Very welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is very kind and very hospitable 👏🏻

Very nice place, in the center of the village near a large parking lot, average prices, it is the typical trattoria, home-made food, generous portions, friendly service, I recommend it if you are passing through this wonderful village

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.
