Ristorante La Perla Del Gran Sasso In Isola del gran sasso d'italia

Excellent value for money. Their specialty? Duck.

In the heart of town, located at the foot of the Gran Sasso on the main road leading to the Sanctuary of San Gabriele, you'll find this fabulous restaurant, a place where authenticity reigns supreme. You can savor the true flavors of Abruzzo cuisine. A fixed menu for €25 (drinks included) features fabulous dishes. Their signature dish is pappardelle with duck sauce, but the gnocchi and ravioli are also spectacular. The main courses are simply fantastic: the duck with tender duck sauce is delicious, the rabbit in white sauce is spectacular, the mixed roast meat is fabulous. Even the house dessert, the classic Teramo sweet pizza, is truly exquisite. A must-visit. I recommend booking well in advance because it's always busy. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, fast, and incredibly friendly. The owner, Lorenzo, is a guy who loves his job, very kind and professional, and makes you feel at home. I recommend it to everyone, and once you go, you'll definitely come back. Congratulations, guys.

First courses are top Mixed grill is ok Sweet pizza 😋

Really good and fast and friendly service

Specialties include pappardelle with duck sauce, and ricotta and truffle ravioli. Among the main courses, I'd recommend the rabbit (well-cooked and not at all "sticky"). Excellent value for money.

I had lunch there with some friends. The place is small and cozy, the service is fast, and the waiters are very friendly. I'm not a fan of the pappardelle with duck ragù, which is one of their specialties and which I recommend. Instead, I had the gnocchi with ragù, which were excellent. For my main course, sausages and fries, accompanied by a house red, which were also excellent. The price was really fair. What can I say? I'll be back, and I'd be happy to. I highly recommend it. 😉

Good and affordable Abruzzo cuisine. It's loud, but that's part of the charm.

Excellent food and service in a family atmosphere.

A place with a fixed menu, or almost. Main course: rustic pappardelle with duck sauce (well-cooked), duck in sauce, rabbit in white sauce (alternatively, mixed grill). You can also find ravioli in white sauce and mixed fried fish, all truly delicious.
