Ristorante Pizzeria Vesuvio 2 In L'aquila

01/06/2026: We found it at the last minute and at a time that promised to be empty, but thanks to the helpful and courteous staff, we were able to have lunch. A very well-kept and renovated restaurant in a charming setting with brick and stone vaults, typical of the Abruzzo mountain villages; not to mention the delicious and well-served dishes. Last but not least, the restaurant is pet-friendly; we have an Abruzzo sheepdog, so we had a great time and really appreciated the hospitality!

01/05/2026: Reaching the restaurant requires a short walk through the alleys after parking near the town hall. The atmosphere is quaint and charming, enhanced by the view of the lake just steps away. We tried the antipasto del borgo: dry fried foods, while cured meats and cheeses were average. The strozzapreti were less balanced, with the ricotta overpowering the other flavors. The arrosticini, on the other hand, were excellent, succulent and flavorful. The staff was friendly, although I would have appreciated a more detailed description of the dishes served at the table.
