Ristorante La Locanda sul Lago In Santo stefano di sessanio

The food here is divine, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

After visiting Campo Imperatore, we drove down to Santo Stefano di Sessanio. We stopped for lunch. The place is very welcoming, the food is excellent, and the owners are very kind. I will definitely be back.

Wow! Lovely family run business. Very clean place and friendly staff. Food amazing and very attentive to the details. My cheese board was ……🤤 and the grilled lamb …….🤤🤤🤤 Highly recommended

The traditional dishes here are expertly prepared. A pleasant surprise nestled in the mountains. The restaurant is under new family management, and the chefs are amazing... they've truly hit the mark!

A lovely little spot to relax after long hikes around Abruzzo, run by a group of young people who care about the well-being of everyone who passes by and the promotion of this wonderful region.

Leaving a review here is a must. These guys are doing a fantastic job! We had dinner on Saturday evening and had a divine meal. Traditional dishes revisited with a modern twist, using only the finest ingredients! The location and beauty of this inn transport you back in time to this quaint village. The waitresses are always present and attentive, but above all, kind. Keep up the good work, we'll be back as soon as possible.

I had lunch with a group of friends and we had a wonderful meal. Disclaimer: as a vegan, it's not easy to find places like this in Abruzzo. The appetizers and side dishes were delicious, and there were several legume-based entrees. Even my omnivorous friends had a wonderful meal. The desserts were all delicious (unfortunately, none were vegan).

I went for lunch yesterday with my husband and in-laws. The restaurant is located just a few minutes from Santo Stefano di Sessannio, an ancient village worth visiting. It's small but very welcoming. From the stove that pleasantly warms the room, to the friendly staff who greet you with a smile as soon as you enter. The menu is seasonal to ensure the use of fresh, local ingredients. The dishes were truly delicious! Flavorful legume soup and gnocchi, a triumph for pumpkin lovers. For our main course, we had grilled lamb with sautéed vegetables and baked potatoes, all delicious, and an unexpected treat: fried tripe accompanied by a mayonnaise-based sauce. The dessert, however, was what took us back to childhood: a chocolate bread (soft and light) with butter and jam to spread on top. The price, in my opinion, is more than fair. In conclusion, if I had to associate one word with this place, it would be "family": the location and the dishes I ate took me back to when, as a child, I would go to mountain restaurants with my relatives, eating, drinking, and feeling welcomed and pampered by the staff. I will definitely be back to bring my parents.

Cozy place, friendly staff, good average food.

A wonderful experience! 🌿 La Locanda sul Lago is an enchanting place, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of the location. We enjoyed lunch, enjoying traditional Abruzzo cuisine, revisited with great care and attention to detail. The new management staff was kind and welcoming. Truly delicious first courses, and the selection of exquisite cured meats and cheeses was excellent, a selection that showcases the local products of Abruzzo. The "cottora" sheep stew, typical of the L'Aquila area, was simply wonderful. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back.
