I migliori ristoranti in L'aquila

20/02/2026: friendly staff, attentive to children.

31/01/2026: A true gem in the heart of Roccaraso! If you're looking for the true essence of Abruzzo cuisine, La Capannina is an absolute must. We were welcomed with an old-world warmth and professionalism: the staff is exquisitely kind, always attentive to every detail and capable of making you feel at home from the first moment. But let's move on to the highlight: the food. * The house antipasto is a triumph of local flavors: a lavish platter of local cured meats, quality cheeses (the fresh ricotta is sublime!), artisanal pickled vegetables, and incredibly flavorful sautéed mushrooms. * The first courses are pure poetry. We tried a fresh pasta with incredibly creamy porcini mushroom cream, a dish that exudes mountain flavors and tradition. * The meat, cooked to perfection, confirms the high quality of the ingredients used. Even the simplest dishes, like the hamburger and fries, exude an authentic, captivating flavor. * The atmosphere is rustic and welcoming, as you'd expect from a high-end retreat in Roccaraso. Excellent value for the quality offered. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back to indulge in the flavors of Abruzzo again.

12/03/2026: Unfortunately, my review isn't a positive one because every time I buy menu items at Mac Drive and return home, the products don't match what I ordered. Last night, I ordered a large Big Mac menu, a Happy Meal, and two other menu items. When I opened the Big Mac box, I found only the bread and meat...no sauces, salad, etc. (unfortunately, I didn't think to take a photo). I called the restaurant, and the operator, Dora, told me I could go back there if I wanted to get the correct sandwich. I don't think this is fair. Every time I buy at Mac Drive, do I have to stop and open all the boxes to see if they gave me the right items? Two months ago, they forgot to give me the Happy Meal, and with a lot of patience, I went back to McDonald's and picked it up at the restaurant. Managing Mac Drive requires much more attention than managing a restaurant because the customer goes home and can't leave again due to staff mistakes.

05/03/2026: We ordered two MC menus at the MC drive thru in L'Aquila. When we got home, we noticed the fries were missing. We went back and spoke to the staff, but we had to pay for them again. Despite this, we were further disserviced by the manager's decision to make us wait in line twice. In one evening at the MC drive thru, we waited in line three times, bought fries twice... it's starting to feel like going out for dinner. Kudos to you for your organization and customer service.

01/03/2026: You can't bring a slice of meat with I don't know what kind of cheese on top (but not parmesan) and not let us know, and admit that they didn't have it.

16/02/2026: Let's start with the positives: the food. Period, that's it. - The dishes aren't excellent, but they're decent. - Extremely slow service: absolutely not recommended for those traveling with family. - Disorganization: The dishes arrive slowly, completely disjointedly; you might receive two first courses before the appetizers, a first course after the second course, and then magically discover that a couple of your guests haven't received anything yet, while you've already eaten your first and second courses. If you point this out, you'll be criticized for not having placed your orders correctly (???) or for having ordered the dish later (???). Absolutely not recommended. It's a shame only for those in the kitchen.

07/01/2026: A name you can trust. I've known them since 2009, a very difficult time for that area. I ate their first arrosticini in their sandwich shop because the restaurant wasn't open... and since then, their products have remained unparalleled in their deliciousness. Every time I'm in the area, I stop there to eat...

19/12/2025: We had a great time, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming.

22/01/2026: Highly recommended! The atmosphere was relaxed and convivial, the staff were always friendly, and the food was excellent. We tried the new gyoza selection as recommended by the dining room staff. We were delighted to sample completely new and unexpected flavors from a cuisine that never ceases to amaze. We also had the opportunity to try some excellent uramaki, whose quality and unique flavors won over even the most skeptical. After concluding the dinner with spectacular desserts, we left the restaurant satisfied. We'd like to compliment the entire dining room and kitchen staff for a wonderful evening. We hope to return soon to enjoy Yoichi's wonderful dishes.

16/11/2025: Very noisy place, difficult to converse, no tablecloths, very slow (and somewhat confusing) service, friendly staff. The food is tasteless. Not recommended.

07/03/2026: Only the name remains great. A renovation is needed. Food quality is comparable to a guesthouse.

17/02/2026: We stayed at this property with friends for a few days. Nothing to complain about, everything was perfect, from the cleanliness to the food. The staff was extraordinary, especially Claudio. The lady with the spoons 😅

14/09/2025: Everything was delicious, the staff was friendly and professional. The owner was very kind. See you next time ✌️

24/08/2025: Excellent location. Very nice, spacious, and welcoming. Very friendly owner. Decent pizzas, good and well-cooked. Fair prices.

26/01/2026: A farm with a simple and welcoming restaurant where you can also choose from a freshwater menu; the trout is the best I've eaten in the area. It's definitely a place you'll want to return to, and so I'll be back as soon as I can!

20/01/2026: Excellent place, and the trout and fish dishes are highly recommended, but the meat a little less so. Service was a bit slow; we waited an hour.

26/02/2026: Beautiful location and good food, but few vegetarian options. The service is mediocre and needs improvement, and the owner is truly unfriendly. We booked for lunch with a two-and-a-half-year-old, and when we arrived, there wasn't even a high chair available. When we asked for parmesan cheese to put on the polenta with the sauce, the hostess replied irritably, "We don't use that here." During service, the staff spilled water on the table and didn't even bother to mop it up. We asked for two bitters and were charged for them—nothing wrong with that, except that other customers were offered them!

07/02/2026: Piano B is a truly delightful discovery in the heart of Rocca di Cambio. This bistro perfectly blends a traditional mountain atmosphere with a modern, refined style, creating a warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. The decor features natural materials like wood, the lighting is soft, and the atmosphere is intimate and well-organized, just as the photos on social media demonstrate. The location is excellent, central, and extremely convenient for those visiting the area, even first-time visitors. As for the food, we ordered: • a classic beef tartare, meaning raw meat, extremely fresh and of excellent quality, with well-balanced flavors • a portion of classic fries, crispy and well-fried • polenta with mushrooms, served hot and flavorful (we chose not to add truffle for personal taste) • lentils and potatoes, off the menu, a simple yet authentic dish, reminiscent of traditional local cuisine • a scamorza cheese melted with duck speck, truly excellent, tasty, and well-balanced To accompany our meal, we ordered a bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, expertly recommended by the staff. The wine was discounted, as was the final bill: €74, rounded up to €70. At the end of the meal, a further gesture of great hospitality: we were offered two grappas, a detail that is always appreciated and leaves an even better memory of the experience. A special mention goes to waiter Gabriele, who served us with great attention and professionalism. He was truly skilled at recommending what was truly worth trying, guiding us through both on- and off-menu dishes with sincerity and expertise, without ever being intrusive. This is a significant added value, especially for those unfamiliar with the local cuisine. Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly recommended on weekends and holidays. The only small point that could be improved is the menu, which offers limited choices. In my opinion, expanding it by adding new options, without removing existing ones, would make the offering even more comprehensive. Overall, it was a very positive experience in every way: quality ingredients, well-executed dishes, pleasant atmosphere, excellent location, and excellent value. A well-deserved five stars, we'll definitely be back.

29/03/2026: The place is noisy, unfortunately, and also cold (temperature). Very classic. The appetizer was good, but considering the price and the space, it was a bit cramped. Tagliatelle were excellent and plentiful. The scamorza cheese was also good. Park on the street if you can find it, otherwise on a bend 200 meters away.

17/03/2026: Hidden among the winding, silent folds of the Abruzzo mountains are sometimes restaurants capable of expressing the region with sincerity and in their own unique way. This is the case with Il Brigante Maino, a rustic restaurant that combines the atmosphere of a mountain hut with the domestic warmth of a family home, creating a casual yet authentic atmosphere. The culinary offerings range from the cornerstones of Abruzzo tradition to more diverse preparations, while maintaining a focus on raw ingredients and their most authentic expression. I sampled the ever-present arrosticini, a true icon of Abruzzo's gastronomic culture. The cooking was well-balanced: the slightly caramelized exterior gave way to juicy, flavorful meat. The roe deer ragù dish was particularly convincing, with the fresh pasta demonstrating excellent cooking resistance and a porous texture capable of absorbing the sauce. The intense yet balanced ragù enhanced the meat's bold character without being overpowering, offering an overall harmonious and satisfying result. The only element that partially dampened the overall harmony was the service, which was rather slow that day. Nothing that compromised the quality of the gastronomic experience. Overall, Il Brigante Maino proved to be a restaurant capable of authentically interpreting Abruzzo's culinary heritage, offering solid dishes, authentic flavors, and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy the mountain air.

22/02/2026: Good food, but limited choice and the sushi pieces were too large. The staff was friendly. I wouldn't go back.

26/01/2026: Nothing like the other oriental restaurants that have opened in the city over the years. Only here can you consistently find friendliness, precision, and excellent value.

27/10/2025: Small place with few tables, but comfortable atmosphere

26/10/2025: Excellent bar on the main street, perfect for breakfast and a retro aperitif.

28/02/2026: A kiosk that has now become a must-see! Here you'll find excellent wines, truly exquisite aperitifs, and above all, a consistently cheerful and welcoming atmosphere. Alessandro and his staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. It's the perfect place to stop at the end of the day, enjoy a good glass of wine, and enjoy a relaxing moment with friends. If you're passing by, stop by: you're unlikely to want to just have one glass... because it makes you want to stay longer!

23/01/2026: Hugo Spritz was superb. Betim was very kind and attentive to detail. Excellent service and food. Quality and courtesy. Truly welcoming. A delightful discovery.

01/03/2026: Friendly staff, good food for the price

23/02/2026: Fast service, excellent value for money

20/01/2026: I have a house nearby, every time I go there the restaurant is a fixed stop
