La Matta In L'aquila

04/03/2025: There were two of us for dinner on Saturday evening, the place looks very welcoming inside, with all-wooden furniture which gives it a rustic and characteristic touch. The service was courteous and fast (after all, there were few customers present in the restaurant). The dishes taken were a steak with a side of pan-fried vegetables and a goulash with a side of mashed potatoes. Both delicious and cooked well: the steak was cooked just right while the goulash came with an excellent cream. Finally we had the tiramisu, which was also good and with a generous portion. I definitely recommend it. Convenient location at the Carsoli motorway exit.

05/02/2025: I used the restaurant, the place is beautiful inside and out but furnished in a questionable, somewhat confusing way. Large rooms, all communicating with each other but tables too close together. I took some tagliolini with asparagus, bacon and pecorino, quite good but the bottom of the plate was full of oil. For second I had turkey breast with cherry tomatoes and rocket, which weren't there, there was a finely chopped tomato, which wasn't a miracle. Water, terrible bulk white wine. Inedible bread. But the sore point is the welcome and kindness/courtesy... not received. Too bad, with female staff, to get lost in a glass of water.
