La Boiserie In L'aquila

27/08/2023: A traditional local restaurant occupying the ground floor and outside terraces if Hotel Excelsior. Most definitely a way to experience the locals way of dining out. The menu is traditional and local. Some specials. Bruschetta was delightful and fresh as was the prosciutto and melone. Steak was tasty, served simple with a wedge of lemon and a fresh green salad. Arrosticini (small grilled skewers) of lamb and cheese were well received as a lighter dinner, with wilted spinach. The star of the show was the second plate. Fresh porcini, tomato and saffron in a silky egg sauce with a local pasta variety. Just wonderful! Kids had pizzas from an extensive menus, one bianca one Rossi, and both were nice. Serve was attentive and friendly. Tiramisu and table wine were great too!.
