La grotta di Aligi In L'aquila

Small, cozy with delicious home cooked meals. Hidden gem, and a bit quieter than places in the main area.

A tavern with an excellent selection of traditional appetizers, first courses, and second courses. Generous and truly tasty portions. Excellent coffee to finish. Courteous and professional staff. The only drawback is that it's below street level, and having a table near a window occasionally led to unpleasant fumes.

Excellent food, wide choice of local specialties. Cozy environment and very kind staff.

The best... the food... delicious. Very professional service but a little slow. A little pricey, but the quality and goodness of the food make up for it.

We eat out often, and finding dishes that surprise you is increasingly difficult. Yesterday, it happened with the pappardelle alla norcina Aquilana. The chitarra pasta with summer truffle and the meat are excellent. The staff is kind and friendly. Highly recommended.

Nice place, good quality food and good taste. It was an excellent choice.

Excellent food, good service, environment in need of renovation

Beautiful experience. Refreshing and very pleasant environment on hot summer days. Very nice atmosphere and much appreciated professionalism. Excellent food. Meat cooked to perfection and pasta perfectly al dente 👌🏼 I highly recommend La Grotta di Aligi 😋

As I always say, what follows is the result of a completely personal experience that has no intention of promoting or denigrating the activity that is carried out by true professionals which I am not. The place presents itself well: characteristic but not old, clean and well air conditioned, with adequate spaces. The menu with QR Code clashes a bit with the context but I understand that it has its practical implications. There are many typical dishes in the culinary offer: from what I ate (meat), I certainly cannot say that you don't eat well but I missed the wow effect: everything was good but impersonal. I did not feel like going back, even if I did not eat badly. Looking at the first courses, at first glance they seemed more appealing than the second courses but I would have to try them to give an honest opinion. Acceptable prices except for the service charge: €2 per person for nothing on the table, so, as always and everywhere, a tax in itself that I do not understand and will never accept. Commendable kindness, courtesy and patience: an extra star for this very aspect. The invitation, obviously, is to try it for yourselves: maybe I am simply too demanding: I would not travel miles to return but, if I were to pass by, I would have no big problems stopping again.

Nice typical place with lots of wood and well kept, friendly staff and fast service. Interesting menu with typical products and wines. Appetizer chosen: cheese and egg balls and very tender arrosticini. As a second course, a grilled chicken and very soft braised in Chianti. But many other dishes had attracted our attention.
