L'Elisir del Poeta In Santo stefano di sessanio

Like every year, more than a few times we have been to this magical place where time seems to stop... from the kitchen to the presentation we spent a wonderful day to say the least... I have always recommended it... local products cooked and presented with extreme love....thank you, you are wonderful

The adjectives to describe this small restaurant are many and all more than positive, but we choose one noun: LOVE. Love in everything that Barbara and Andrea do for their guests.......We will be back

A memorable gastronomic experience that I recommend to anyone, even those who are wary of vegetarian cuisine. In addition to the unquestionable skill of the cook, the incredible goodness of the dishes lies in the meticulous choice of the raw materials. Exclusively local and seasonal products, often grown and/or harvested by Andrea and Barbara themselves (owners and sole managers of the restaurant). The description of the various products is made in detail by Andrea, whose friendliness and passion are contagious. You leave the restaurant extremely satisfied with both the quality and quantity, but above all not weighed down like after a classic meat binge. I hope to return soon. P.S. Highly recommended, if available, is the purchase of pumpkin and saffron jam. I don't think I've ever tasted jam like this!

Everything was perfect, we were truly delighted. A journey.

Not much else to say that hasn't been said already. Just an absolutely perfect dining experience with the most welcoming couple in a unique setting. I've never experienced anything like it and probably won't ever again. Grazie Andrea! Such a sweet man who warms your heart with not only his food but also his demeanor and conversation!

Da fuori le luci, le scritte, le finestrelle con i cuoricini ti invitano ad entrare come fossi invitato a casa di amici. In fondo è questo lo spirito del locale, farti sentire a tua agio in mezzo a persone che vogliono trascorrere una piacevole serata con te. Appena entrati ci ha accolti Andrea, un ospite di casa sorridente e affabile che ci ha fatto accomodare al nostro tavolo in una stanza di circa 4x4m, con la cucina e un bagno ma molto accogliente e piena di lucine e oggetti curiosi, tutti con una storia da raccontare. E ne aveva da raccontare anche Andrea che ad ogni piatto spiegava gli ingredienti e la loro provenienza accompagnandoli con qualche suo aneddoto. I piatti erano in gran parte degli assaggi ma la qualità era eccellente! Dalla zuppa di lenticchie ai formaggi di capra e dalle verdure grigliate al dolce fatto in casa, tutto cucinato magistralmente e con passione. Ogni portata aveva la sua personalità dove gli ingredienti si abbinavano armoniosamente sprigionando sapori autentici di una volta. La cuoca Barbara aveva fatto un lavoro straordinario presentato in maniera accattivante dal marito Andrea ed impiattato con gusto. Un percorso gastronomico che arricchisce corpo e anima. Sicuramente un'esperienza da vivere e da raccontare.

Let me start by saying, book well in advance. The place is small and only has 4 tables. Having few diners allows the host to explain each course without haste and with meticulousness. From his words comes all the passion for his land, and the dishes meet all expectations. The strictly vegetarian fixed menu is so mixed and rich that you won't miss meat and fish. An experience absolutely recommended to all passers-by!

There are restaurants... excellent ones... and then there is Andrea and Barbara's small, splendid, eclectic place (two fantastic people without any ifs or buts)! Another level..another category! A unique experience of taste and ideas! Thanks for a fantastic evening! Always continue like this!
