I migliori ristoranti in L'aquila

01/01/2026: New Year's Eve dinner. Excellent food and kudos to the organizers. The music was awful, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

26/12/2025: Trattoria da Rino is located in L'Aquila and is highly regarded for its traditional Abruzzo cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. Located in a new location after moving from the historic center due to the 2009 earthquake, the restaurant offers a modern and spacious atmosphere, with a garden and outdoor seating. • Quality food, carefully prepared dishes using fresh ingredients, and the staff is friendly, professional, and always attentive to customer needs. Easy to find and conveniently located near a convenient parking lot. Recommended 👍

11/01/2026: Twice for lunch, everything was excellent and plentiful, highly recommended, obviously being in the mountains, the spaghetti with clams that Google asked me for isn't there, but everything is delicious

08/12/2025: Nice place, shame about the ravioli with saffron and walnuts with stock cube... service too fast with dishes taken away without having finished badly badly

16/11/2025: Excellent cuisine with typical dishes 😋

02/11/2025: Very nice place, the food was excellent from appetizer to dessert. Everything was delicious.

06/12/2025: We had a great time, the spaghetti alla chitarra were very good.

08/11/2025: Excellent appetizers and first courses, good grilled lamb.....highly recommended

27/12/2025: Tucked away in the village of Barrea, this intimate and refined restaurant offers everything from the scomorza (sausage, truffle, and porcini mushrooms) to the white venison ragù. Don't forget the arrosticini (skewers) and the delicious dark chocolate paired with aged spirits. Friendly and helpful service. Perfect.

27/12/2025: We stopped for lunch at Borgo Antico during a stop in Villetta Barrea, and it was a wonderful discovery. The cuisine is truly excellent, with generous and flavorful dishes that showcase local products. The appetizers, in particular, are a must-try. A rich and carefully selected selection is worth a stop here alone. The atmosphere is warm, familiar, and welcoming, the restaurant is quaint, and the staff are friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're passing through Villetta Barrea, stopping for lunch at Borgo Antico is a must: you'll leave feeling full and satisfied, eager to return soon!

16/12/2025: Excellent food with very efficient service and above average prices.

20/11/2025: An excellent trattoria We had the pleasure of dining at this trattoria, and the experience was truly memorable. - Appetizers: Parmigiana and Cacio e Ova balls, meticulously prepared, fresh, and rich in authentic flavors that reflect tradition. - Main course: Caciocavallo and plums, expertly prepared with top-quality ingredients and perfectly cooked to highlight the authenticity of the cuisine. - Dessert: Tiramisu, a surprising finale, balanced and refined, which concluded the meal on a note of pure satisfaction. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere welcoming and familiar, yet with a touch of elegance that makes the evening special. A true local excellence, where quality and passion meet. Highly recommended for those seeking authenticity, flavor, and hospitality.

03/02/2026: Delicious. Excellent value for money. Large portions. Mixed and varied menu: - excellent first courses (arrabbiata, TOP scoglio) and a wide selection of fresh and dried pasta; - delicious second courses and side dishes. - fabulous and lactose-free desserts. The waiters are truly osteria-style; you'll feel at home in a truly family atmosphere. Highly recommended.

21/01/2026: A true trattoria, with a quiet atmosphere, delicious first courses, and abundant second courses too.

25/01/2026: We were there on Friday evening. Generous dishes, quality food. Good price.

23/01/2026: Maybe we made the wrong choices, but the meat, a banal cut, arrived cold, bland, and flavorless. The sautéed chicory was the same.

06/01/2026: The pizza is good. The first courses are good. The staff is friendly.

21/10/2025: We had a great time; we found this place by chance on the way to Naples. We'll definitely be back. Friendly staff and excellent pizza.

07/01/2026: A characteristic mountain atmosphere. This refuge, featuring a fireplace at the entrance and a large dining room with tables, offers refreshments, including polenta and other dishes between snowshoe hikes. I enjoyed an excellent hot punch at the end of the day. I highly recommend it.

06/01/2026: A quaint, charming refuge with a welcoming fireplace. The veranda, all made of wood and stone, houses the dining area. On busy days, they organize an efficient self-service restaurant with "social" tables (we also ate with another family, which was lovely). The cuisine is traditional and good. Prices are fair (about €15-20 per person). The bar also deserves a mention for its excellent hot chocolate, served with cream and biscuits, ideal for a cozy getaway, perhaps sitting by the fireplace.

31/08/2025: Nice place and good service. The appetizers and main courses are okay, the pizza could definitely be improved, but overall the food is good. Worth recommending.

12/09/2025: Campsite with bungalows on a hill overlooking Lake Campotosto, a restaurant serving local cured meats and meats, and a beautiful wooden setting with outdoor dining overlooking the lake.

03/09/2025: The agri-campsite lived up to expectations: quiet, in a magnificent location, and the food is good and reasonably priced. The only drawback is the lack of amenities for the summer months.

31/01/2026: Great place to grab a drink in the evening. Nice location, well-made cocktails.

06/01/2026: A wonderful end to a fantastic weekend in Abruzzo! I've been wanting to take the regional train from Terni to L'Aquila and Sulmona for years, and I finally did. A fantastic start to the year, sealed with a final evening at this place. The pane burro e alici (bread, butter, and anchovies) were TOP with the Margarita! We'll be back, guys—that's not a promise, but a certainty! 😎

03/12/2025: The porchetta sandwich is truly exceptional

03/11/2025: The porchetta sandwich is delicious, as is the chicken. This isn't our first time here, and we're never disappointed; the quality is always excellent!

05/02/2026: A simple and elegant restaurant with attentive and very friendly service, refined and flavorful dishes, beautifully presented, and a respectable wine list. We'll definitely return when in the area.

30/12/2025: We've dined at La Corniola twice, exactly one year apart, the last time a few days ago. We returned after a pleasant experience last year and with high expectations, justified especially considering the simple mention in the Michelin Guide and the elegant and refined atmosphere. It's also for this reason that I allow myself to be picky, something I don't usually reserve for restaurants where initial expectations are lacking; the premise was a given. There have been no significant changes to the basic menu over the past year, so we preferred to choose something we hadn't already tried the previous year. While last year we were impressed by both the appetizers and the first courses, as well as the lamb as a main course, this year only two out of four dishes, between appetizers and first courses, completely convinced us. As a second course, to round out the meal (coming from days of being a bit tired from our efforts at dining, we preferred to avoid structured main courses), we ordered a selection of cheeses that unfortunately fell short, especially considering the price tag—an issue we encountered throughout the menu, but which isn't a particular problem for me. The wine list is appreciably extensive, and while we had no trouble navigating it, the service team could probably offer a little help for those less experienced. The service is young and eager, but a bit hesitant, and could use more training, especially to match the environment, which requires it. On the other hand, the more experienced staff maintains a formal demeanor that is commendable, but could be mistaken for excessive coldness. These last considerations had already come to light the previous year, but they didn't stop us from returning in the hope of finding that extra something, still missing, both in the kitchen and in the dining room, and that makes the difference between a Michelin mention and a first star. This is by no means utopian, considering the very respectable premises, the elegant setting, and a cuisine that understands and respects the raw materials, especially local ones, but which should dare more.
