Entering the restaurant, you feel like you're entering a protected, simple, yet distant environment.
This place isn't just about eating; it's about experiencing, a brief yet profound journey through tradition and authenticity. It's truly a poet's elixir. Exceptional vegetarian cuisine, rich in aromas and flavors, perfectly complemented by the owners' empathy.
Seats are limited; reservations are required well in advance.

Wonderful experience. I visited the restaurant for lunch with friends. An unusual vegetarian meal, with touches of plant-based ingredients that enhanced the dishes. Locally sourced products. Guided by the very kind Andrea, who explained the dishes and the ingredients used, we were treated to a tasting experience that truly immersed us in the local area. Highly recommended.

L'Elisir del Poeta isn't just a restaurant, just as dining here isn't just a meal. It's a journey where Andrea and his wife lead you through the wonders of their fantastic territory, all within the intimacy of just four tables (this time we were even alone!). This is my third time back, and it's always a great pleasure, so I encourage everyone passing through the area to treat themselves to this magical place. I've been back to Santo Stefano di Sessanio twice now, especially to dine there, and each time is special. See you next time!

An excellent experience
Dishes that convey love and passion for this land, carefully prepared and presented, with authentic yet bold flavors.
Andrea is the perfect host who makes you appreciate every dish prepared by his wife, Barbara, an attentive and knowledgeable cook.
A wonderful evening, thank you so much.

For a select few, connoisseurs of all five senses... Yes, even hearing, when you hear Barbara's spoon clink at the end of the meal as she whips the cream on the spot. Thanks to Andrea for making us reconcile ourselves with the idea of eating at a restaurant!!

Grazie mille per la bella serata alternativa: ci è sembrato di vivere una riunione di famiglia con i racconti del passato e delle tradizioni mangiando piatti vegetariani mai assaggiati . Complimenti per la vostra scelta di vita e per la voglia entusiastica di portarla avanti ❣️

In questo magico borgo è presente un ristorante altrettanto magico, unico nel suo genere, diretto da marito e moglie, Andrea (in sala) e Barbara (in cucina).
Entrambi sono innamorati del proprio lavoro e trasmettono questo amore ai commensali.
Cucina “semplice” con un menù unico che sa di storia e natura.
Grazie Barbara, grazie Andrea della piacevolissima esperienza, non solo culinaria, che ci avete fatto fare.
