27/08/2025: Everything was excellent. As always

20/08/2025: During our stay in Rocca di Cambio, we dined at Ristorante Il Caminetto, nestled in the Sirente-Velino Regional Natural Park, and were thrilled. As soon as we entered, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who escorted us to our table in the lower room: a rustic, warm, and familiar atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. The cuisine is typical of Abruzzo, and you can taste it from the first bite: the mixed antipasto of local cured meats and cheeses was a great start, with authentic and well-balanced flavors. The pork shank was the true star of the dinner: incredibly tender, it pulled apart on its own, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. All accompanied by an excellent house wine. The other menu items, all well-designed, also showcase local tradition using quality ingredients. The portions are generous, the quality/price ratio excellent, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. At the end of the meal, in addition to the classic sweets and liqueurs, the restaurant also offers an original and traditional twist: sweets dipped in artisanal liqueurs. We tried the licorice and aniseed ones—an original and delightful way to end the evening. A tip: if you visit in the summer, book well in advance to eat on the terrace. Without a doubt, Il Caminetto is the best restaurant in Rocca di Cambio—and perhaps in the entire area. Highly recommended!
