I migliori ristoranti in L'aquila

28/02/2026: I completely agree with everything I've read in other reviews. A small, dated trattoria located outside the walls of a virtually uninhabited village. The selection isn't very varied, but the owner, who is a real character, guides you expertly. The generous appetizer is enough. I've had the best arrosticini in the area here.

23/02/2026: More than a restaurant, it's a home...and Franco, the true master, welcomes you like family! Excellent food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a wonderful atmosphere! The price?! For what we ate, it's even reasonable. I'll be back soon! Always call to reserve!

31/12/2025: One sandwich better than the next. Fresh, local produce. Amazing.

01/11/2025: Excellent sandwich, fair price, strategic location, very kind staff, very fast service

05/03/2026: Always a guarantee. Obelix-sized portions and exceptional quality. At lunchtime during the week, you might be lucky to find a table. On weekends, you have to book, with waits lasting almost three months. This proves the 5-star rating is real.

05/03/2026: Intimate, welcoming, and top service, fantastic food and out-of-this-world desserts, especially the cheesecake with orange marmalade, honey, and almonds, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

28/02/2026: Friendly and courteous. Excellent cuisine, good food, and a good red wine. It will be a point of reference for us.

03/02/2026: Very good and authentic I recommend booking, especially on holidays.

22/02/2026: A place close to my heart... Abruzzo feels like home to me. This little hotel is delightful, and the food is excellent, even for outside guests.

29/01/2026: I was a guest for work. If I ever come to L'Aquila for a vacation, I'll definitely stay at this family-run, yet truly professionally managed hotel. The food was delicious, with a freshly baked croissant for breakfast, just the way I like it. The staff were helpful and attentive to their guests' habits. They noticed I was carefully avoiding tomatoes and dairy products and offered suitable options without a word. I thanked them and explained my slight intolerances. The RESTAURANT/PIZZERIA is spacious and attractive, with rooms that sleep three, and tidy and comfortable bathrooms. But above all these aesthetic features, I have to give it a sixth star for the cleanliness of all the rooms. Finally, there's ample parking with a large solar shelter that can accommodate five or six vans or trucks.

26/02/2026: Warm atmosphere, excellent cuisine, reasonable prices. Top!

20/02/2026: Good and plentiful food. The atmosphere is typical of a historic building (antique rustic style). A little difficult to find (you have to set your GPS to the village post office and then walk into the village from there).

01/01/2026: Welcoming atmosphere in a renovated old building! Simple but quality cuisine. The Pinza is excellent.

19/12/2025: excellent pizza excellent welcome

27/01/2026: A historic bar in the heart of L'Aquila, in an Art Nouveau style. I went there with my mom and husband and we drank excellent nougat coffees. The desserts were spectacular and delicious. The bar is a gem, clean and tidy. The staff were extremely friendly. I highly recommend it if you're in L'Aquila.

25/01/2026: One of my favorite bars in L'Aquila. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The place is gorgeous. It offers specialty sweets and chocolates from L'Aquila. Considering the location and quality, the prices are quite reasonable.

02/02/2026: We were visiting the town of Scontrone and stopped for lunch, a sublime experience, everything delicious and of high quality, more than fair prices, exceptional waiting staff.

26/01/2026: First time. Excellent quality and service. The restaurant is well-maintained and offers traditional cuisine with a few innovative touches that stand out. The homemade desserts are excellent. See you soon.

11/01/2026: Sublime lunch, perfect dishes, order and precision and excellent staff

09/01/2026: The dining room is very welcoming and meticulously decorated. The staff is distinguished by their kindness, professionalism, and hospitality. We ordered: breaded and fried primo sale cheese sticks, very good and not greasy; cheese and egg balls, delicious; ravioli, a first course, good but not exceptional; and meat arrosticini, good. A 37.5cl bottle of rosé wine and two tiramisu dishes, one classic, not very moist in my opinion, and one pistachio, very good. The bill was €80 for two, which I think is fair, considering it's located in a touristy area.

21/02/2026: Unexpected. But that's exactly what you wanted and didn't know. A perfect lunch, from every perspective.

17/02/2026: I had dinner last night with friends and family. The welcome was very friendly, and the food was also good. However, when we finally got the bill, we had a few surprises with the prices, including extras like an appetizer for five people, which was charged for seven, and a bottle of wine that shouldn't have been included, or rather, offered, but was instead paid for. A very unique place.

21/02/2026: Discovered thanks to Alessandro Borghese's program. Everything was delicious, definitely try the pecorino alla cottora!!! Very kind and welcoming staff.

18/01/2026: It would be a real shame not to stop! Highly recommended and worth discovering. The key word: tradition! Everything is limited, a synonym for quality. Except for the portions...very generous! Definitely worth the stop.

15/02/2026: Welcoming atmosphere, convenient parking, excellent value for money, courteous staff

08/01/2026: Fantastic culinary experience! Excellent and plentiful food! We'll definitely be back! ☺️

18/01/2026: If I were to ever become a vegetarian, I could always make an exception for Osteria Il Cortile's "Beef cheek with Montepulciano d'Abruzzo D.O.C. and mashed potatoes."

17/01/2026: Everything was really delicious and the staff was really friendly. I recommend it!

01/02/2026: Davide is great; he made us laugh the whole time. His wife cooked for all of us, and everything was delicious. If you love game, this is the place to be. Plus, the place is small and cozy. You feel right at home, perfect for dinners with friends.

01/02/2026: We felt right at home! The owner, Davide, is an exceptional host! It's a small place, but that's what makes it special: just a few tables and lots of customer service! The food is absolutely top-quality; they choose local ingredients that are then beautifully prepared in the kitchen! We stumbled upon it by accident, but we'll definitely be back! Great experience!
