Ristorante da Adriano In Isernia

We stopped by for lunch following our experience on the Trans-Siberian Railway in Abruzzo and found this simple-looking restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who informed us that there was a fixed menu for 25 euros that day. Although I'm not a fan of fixed menus, I was glad we stayed. The food was good, not overdone with oils or spices like many others. We had delicious handmade potato gnocchi! The meat, scamorza, and everything else were delicious. But the real difference is undoubtedly Adriano, always with a word or a joke to make guests feel at home, but without ever being intrusive. Fantastic! Thank you, Adriano, and we hope to return to your restaurant soon.

At Adriano's you'll find a family atmosphere and authentic, very good, local food. The owner, Adriano, entertains customers with jokes and friendly conversation. We'll definitely be back.

I was a little skeptical, but I quickly changed my mind. From the outside, it feels like an old-fashioned restaurant, but inside, it's absolutely well-kept, clean, and very charming. Adriano is a very courteous person, a restaurateur from another era. The 25-euro fixed menu is excellent, featuring all local and carefully selected products. We ate very well, accompanied by an excellent local red wine. The service was quick and efficient, despite the restaurant being full. Highly recommended for a trip on the historic train, but booking well in advance is essential as there are only a few seats and the restaurant is always busy.

We found this restaurant on the recommendation of a retired local policeman. Perfect, with a simple set menu and authentic food. Adriano and his son Stefano are great.

A timeless yet authentic place. The food was excellent, the owner was friendly, the portions were decent, and the local cheeses were excellent.
