I migliori ristoranti in L'aquila

05/04/2025: Quiet place, good burger at low prices

30/08/2025: Excellent restaurant in a small town. Very well-maintained and welcoming. We went as a couple, along with a small dog, with no problem. The dishes, especially the starters, are unique, tasty, and substantial, yet not far removed from regional cuisine. I was surprised; I thought I'd find a tourist-friendly setting, but instead you can taste the care put into the preparation of the dishes. The desserts are very good.

21/08/2025: Reply To Mr. Girolamo Saviato... I treated you the same way you treated me... with no respect for the workers... with arrogance and presumption... Without a good morning, you took the menu and sat down at your table without asking if it was free, and with a pedantic air, you insisted on ordering before others already seated at their reserved tables. When I pointed this out to you, you got up and left, giving a senseless review of the food because you didn't enjoy our dishes. Ll Let's not say the customer is always right... in this case, I'd say no!!! ... Kind regards, the arrogant waitress!!! In this place, respect for customers reigns supreme... something you didn't show me...

14/09/2025: What a gem this is! A fifteen-minute walk from the Lo Schioppo campsite via Piano Sacramento. Opening hours aren't very clear, but on this Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was open for lunch. Simple and delicious food, reasonably priced, and the cheesecake for dessert was absolutely fantastic!

20/08/2025: My experience at La Mandra restaurant was undoubtedly positive. The location is stunning, surrounded by greenery and just steps from the entrance to the "Zompo Lo Schioppo" nature reserve, which I recommend visiting early in the morning and then having lunch at this excellent restaurant. The establishment also offers a B&B service. Lunch, which I had the pleasure of experiencing on two different occasions, with friends and family, began with a tasty appetizer of local cured meats, accompanied by olives and grilled vegetables prepared authentically in-house. The first courses consist of excellent homemade fresh pasta, such as fettuccine, gnocchi, or ravioli (filled with excellent ricotta) topped with sauces (ragù or tomato and basil) or other very tasty preparations (truffle or boscaiola). For the second courses, we opted for excellent and generous mixed roasts accompanied by equally delicious side dishes; we particularly enjoyed the broccoli and seasoned tomatoes. A wide selection of homemade desserts, including an excellent Neapolitan pastiera, and a special mention for the exquisite baked cheesecake, which is quite rare in Italy. A special mention also goes to the gentian liqueur, highly recommended after a meal with coffee. We were greeted by the family-run staff with great helpfulness and courtesy. On one of our visits, even our big dog, Charlie, was welcomed with open arms. The indoor and outdoor spaces and bathrooms are spotless, the prices are reasonable, and the quality is excellent. We'll be back and highly recommend it.

04/10/2025: I stopped for lunch during a bike trip (Wolf Lair's). I had the mutton, which was plentiful and flavorful, and the arrosticini and chicory were also very good. Great prices, a quiet atmosphere, and friendly staff.

27/09/2025: A great place, chosen by chance on the way back from Rome to San Benedetto del Tronto. It may not be easy to get to, but it's worth it for the tagliatelle with mushrooms and truffles and the grilled lamb. A truly pleasant surprise. Excellent value!

15/09/2025: This place was recommended by acquaintances. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food (the ravioli weren't of the highest quality) or the service, which was a bit chaotic.

07/09/2025: Every time we passed by, we noticed a lot of cars, so we decided to book for lunch, but the dishes weren't satisfying. The first courses were flavorless and seasoned with less-than-fresh ingredients, while paying €18 for a roast with two pieces of meat seemed excessive to me. They could be improved.

04/10/2025: Super aperitifs and good prices

17/09/2025: Impeccable service and staff! They always welcome you with a smile. The appetizers are excellent, tasty, and plentiful. Good value for money.

21/09/2025: A cute and friendly place to enjoy excellent beer and delicious food. Quick staff, fair prices, and unbeatable desserts.

14/09/2025: In the centre of L'Aquila on the corner of the Corso or main street. The staff are efficient and courteous. The beer is very good while the food is standard pub fare with Italian overtones. Reservation is necessary.

02/09/2025: Excellent and plentiful food Service was too slow; we waited an hour, and it wasn't very crowded.

16/08/2025: We recommend the gin and myrtle bitters 😁

25/09/2025: All good desserts made by true professionals, highly recommended

26/08/2025: What can I say? Thank you, thank you for everything!!!!! The cake Piero and his staff at Pasticceria Regina made for my son's 18th birthday was truly spectacular. The tiramisu mousse cake is truly, truly special!!

14/08/2025: Great aperitifs! Delicious appetizers, not the usual boring ice cream and peanuts. Good and affordable drinks.

04/08/2025: Beautiful place. We had delicious sandwiches. The wine was excellent. We'll be back!

03/10/2025: The place is a bit noisy when crowded, but the food is truly excellent. Traditional dishes.

09/08/2025: Always a great experience eating here.

14/09/2025: Good prices, but really poor organization. We went on a Saturday night at 9:00 PM and started eating the appetizer at 10:00 PM (fries and chips). It took them almost 30 minutes to take our order and over 20 minutes to bring water to the table. The chips arrived in batches, not all at once, as did the main course. 2 sandwiches and 1 crouton. The sandwiches arrived at almost 10:30 PM and the crouton at 11:00 PM. You understand that if I'm eating at a table with other people, we'd all like to eat together. They had to (and wanted to) wait for me to start eating, and everything was cold. And to top it off, a 20-minute wait at the register to pay. Practically an epic wait for "3" sandwiches and 2 chips. Not to mention the waiters who forgot things and were on the phone, the crouton order was wrong. The final straw, however, was the indecipherable receipt with the wrong prices; I realized this because I had to go back inside and look at the menu to decipher which price was assigned to which. I recommend calling and asking if they're busy, so you know when not to go.

09/09/2025: Quality and courtesy without end!

14/08/2025: A nice place run by nice people. Top selection of wines and sparkling wines.
