La Cantina dell'Orso In Pietracamela

An excellent experience at this small trattoria in Prati di Tivo: I was already very impressed by the helpfulness of the lady who runs it, especially considering I called mid-morning and the phone wasn't available, but she called me back shortly after, allowing me to book a table for 1:00 PM. She shows interest in her customers. The location is cute, in the square near the cable car; there are only a few tables, but a lovely atmosphere. As mentioned, the lady was very kind, and she immediately brought us the menu, and we were served shortly thereafter. Obviously, this isn't a wedding reception restaurant, and the selection isn't extensive, but there's more than enough for an excellent lunch, using genuine local ingredients. Tagliatelle with venison ragù, red polenta with sausage, scamorza with crispy bacon, and excellent red wine. We'll be back. Thank you.

Valeria, the owner, is the epitome of professionalism and helpfulness. Ask and you shall receive. With the most incredible view in Central Italy: the Gran Sasso d'Italia! Mouth-watering traditional cuisine. A comfortable atmosphere for a relaxing getaway. Come to Prati di Tivo! Enjoy yourself!

On our way back from a snowshoe hike, we stopped for lunch at this lovely winery. We had a platter of local cured meats and cheeses, polenta, and a soup that I found delicious. I can't understand the negative comments people have made. The staff was lovely and very kind, and despite the place being packed, they handled everything professionally without any significant delays. In 2025, nothing surprises us anymore; rude and spoiled people are simply unbearable. Thank you so much, guys, see you next time.

Excellent cuisine with quality products, with a warm welcome that never hurts, I will definitely be back!
