A truly welcoming place, with always helpful and courteous staff. The highlight is undoubtedly the liver and onion arrosticini: a true specialty, a must-try for anyone who comes here!
Regarding the culinary offerings, the ingredients are of unquestionable quality, but there are some details that need to be tweaked: the classic arrosticini deserve a more robust cooking to bring out their best, while the supplì and desserts seemed less focused and in need of a thorough review, as did the prices, which aren't exactly affordable for everyone.
The only real criticism is the management of the dining room during peak times: a few more resources would be needed at the tables, as the wait just to order can sometimes be excessive.
Overall, a good experience, with very clear room for improvement that would make the place truly excellent.

I rediscovered the flavors of home here.
Handmade arrosticini like in the old days, delicious cacio e ove meatballs, and a spectacular tiramisu.
I'll definitely be back for the courtesy and quality of the food.

Exceptional and very large crostini, pappardelle with wild boar, and amazing arrosticini.
Pleasant atmosphere with a reference to the Lord of the Rings, with the soundtrack from the saga as the background.

We dined in L'Aquila on the recommendation of a local bartender. The arrosticini were excellent (handmade mutton, liver, and onion), served piping hot and very tasty. The mixed platter with various cured meats, cheeses, and local crostini was excellent, with a generous portion and a very fair price. The cacio e pepe supplì were delicious. The staff was kind and professional.

A very welcoming place, certainly a favorite among fans of the famous "Lord of the Rings" saga, thanks to the attention to detail. The food is excellent, especially the handmade arrosticini.
I've personally been here four times now and have always had a great time. The staff is welcoming, helpful, and ready to accommodate everyone's needs. I'd also like to add that the owner is a wonderful person; my friend and I stopped to chat with him for half an hour, and I can honestly say that despite having been to many places in L'Aquila, I don't think I've ever found anyone quite like him. I personally recommend trying the Ratafia liqueur, which is excellent after a meat-based meal.

I confirm everything I'd read in previous reviews that made me choose this place to conclude a trip to L'Aquila with my son... it's absolutely worth a visit for the quality and local flavour of the food, the variety of offerings, the attention to detail, the reasonable prices, and, last but not least, the courtesy!
Thank you, we'll definitely be back. My son and I have our seats, and now we have one more!

We discovered this inn by chance during a quick stop off the highway. Both the food and the hospitality were incredibly pleasant. We'll definitely be back.
