L'Elisir del Poeta In Santo stefano di sessanio

Absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed the menu a lot! Not too much cheese which was also great for us vegans. Andrea is a very friendly and English speaking host. His wife Barbara is a great Chef. Very special courses from local products.

Everything perfect and everything delicious. Starting from the location, passing through the quality of the food, ending with the sweetness and kindness of Andrea and Barbara. Highly recommended 😍

Fantastic experience... warmly welcomed by Andrea who with so much passion told us every single detail of the dishes, prepared with care and love by his wife. We will certainly return because these places with such attention to detail are rarely found.

Solo quest'anno, dopo più volte che passo qualche giorno a Santo Stefano di Sessanio, ho avuto la fortuna di incappare in questo mini-ristorantino casalingo che da fuori è un amore, ma che trovavo sempre chiuso. Ho scoperto il perchè: apre solo su prenotazione ed è una vera chicca!!! Vedendo la porta aperta, ci siamo affacciati e ci ha accolto Andrea, il proprietario, con un sorriso ed una gentilezza rari. La piccola sala, arredata con amore, è piena di colori e calore. In cucina sua moglie Barbara, una cuoca sopraffina. Abbiamo prenotato per il pranzo del giorno dopo ed è stata, come la chiama Andrea, una vera meravigliosa "passeggiata tra i sapori". Il menù è fisso ed è composto di piatti tutti a base di pietanze di stagione (non fanno carne). I prodotto sono tutti loro, o di agriccoltori/produttori locali. Noi eravamo 7 adulti e 2 bambini (10 e 12 anni) e siamo TUTTI rimasti soddisfatti e felici dell'esperienza. La sala era composta del nostro tavolo, un tavolo da 4 persone ed un altro da 2. Eravamo al completo! Consiglio veramente un giretto al meraviglioso Borgo di Santo Stefano di Sessanio, con tappa obbligata in questo posticino speciale!!!

Cenare all’Elisir del Poeta non è solo mangiare, ma fare un viaggio attraverso le tradizioni ed i sapori autentici di questa bella terra. La cucina di Barbara è sopraffina, i piatti sono gustosi e mai banali; gli ingredienti di altissima qualità garantiscono l’eccellenza. Andrea è un oste gentile ed accogliente, che ti fa sentire a casa mentre ti accompagna per mano lungo tutto il viaggio. Grazie di cuore! Torneremo certamente.

I had dinner with a group of friends at the restaurant: Absolutely worth trying. A menu made of tradition and knowledge of all the ingredients used. Taste, authenticity and refinement. The traditional cuisine is revisited in a modern style with 0 km products, all seasoned with the hospitality, kindness and love for their business from Barbara and Andrea to whom our further thanks go. Very few places. Reservations are recommended

A truly special experience in this small and welcoming restaurant. The passion and love for cooking can be perceived in every dish, made with fresh and genuine, strictly local ingredients. Each course tells a story, an attention to detail that shines through not only in the food but also in the hospitality. Andrea and Barbara, with their friendliness and professionalism, are the beating heart of this place: two fantastic people who make every guest feel at home, with a smile and attention that do not go unnoticed. A place that I absolutely recommend for those looking for an authentic gastronomic experience and a warm welcome.

We reached L'Elisir Del Poeta without plans. We were welcomed by Andrea who kindly made us sit in this magical and loving place. We ate divinely, experiencing excellent genuine vegetarian food, with medicinal herbs and local raw materials, prepared with love and dedication by Barbara and presented poetically and affably by Andrea. Every gesture, every word, every dish was seasoned by the loving presence of the couple Andrea and Barbara who takes you to wonderful places far away in time and to ancient and ever new flavors in a land without equal. Thank you for all the love you have been able to give us. Sandro, Teresa and Emanuele

Unique experience! The owner Andrea conveyed, right from the booking on the phone, the passion he puts into his work together with his wife. It wasn't just a lunch but a real experience that I recommend anyone to do if they pass through these parts. As soon as you enter you are greeted by Andrea in this room that looks like the living room of an apartment, it is no coincidence that the owner does not call people clients but "guests". The atmosphere captures you at 360 degrees to the point that you enter at 1pm and leave at 3.30pm without even noticing the passage of time and completely forgetting your phone. Everything perfect! Congratulations to Andrea and Barbara!

We are back again, an unmissable appointment when we go to Santo Stefano. The welcome, the warmth and the valorisation of local products make this small restaurant a real gem.
