I migliori ristorantinella città Celano della L'aquila

12/11/2025: It's now become our go-to spot for all our visits to Ovindoli and the surrounding area. Located in Celano's main square, right in front of Piccolomini Castle, it has plenty of on-street parking, so much so that you'll only need to drive around a second time to find a spot. And it's worth it! A good selection of always-fresh pastries, and bar service from attentive, attentive, and extremely friendly staff, so much so that time spent over a cup of coffee becomes filled with jokes, foodie insights, and precise tourist information (always and subject to customer traffic, which is never neglected). See you next time!

18/10/2025: Lovely lady knew how to make a great cappuccino and made us feel warm and welcomed. It’s a local hangout with a nice view of the town. We were glad we stopped here as we passed through.

16/11/2025: The best pizza in the entire Marsica

15/11/2025: Excellent pizza cooked just right. Well done

14/09/2025: Unlike many other bars and ice cream shops in the area, it's ACTUALLY open at lunchtime. Modern, fresh, and with a wide selection. Everything is delicious. Both inside and outside seating. Recommended!

09/07/2025: A truly authentic pastry shop that you absolutely must try.

25/10/2025: I'll start by saying that I'm a good eater and I never post negative reviews, but this experience can't be kept hidden, not talked about... If you want to live a medieval experience, here you are... to find it, you have to wander through the streets of the village. There is no sign that leads to the main entrance. You arrive at the end of the stairs at the beginning of the climb and you find a sign with an image of a tower and the name of the restaurant SEXTANTIO CUCINA as in the photo... there is no entrance with a sign, but it feels like knocking on the door of a villager... "Middle Ages" because there is no bell, but a simple metal ring and a wooden door... the NEW OWNERS should SPECIFY NEW MANAGEMENT... nothing that distant from the old one from a couple of months ago... the portions are as big as 85g cans of tuna. I appreciated the idea of ​​reliving the idea of ​​NOT THROWING AWAY as it once was. In the Middle Ages, everything was kept, recycled, yes. He worked and cooked in such a way as to make the food edible... certainly an innovative cuisine, a gourmet experience where every single raw material is worked with meticulous preparations and very creative presentations... but it's sad to admit it after a day in the mountains between walks, breathtaking views, this location certainly leaves you with an appetite worse than when you entered... surely you entered with a wolf's hunger and left with a bear's hunger... A SHAME because the memory of the place called LOCANDA SOTTO GLI ARCHI... well, only the arches remain... of a warm, welcoming inn with typical mountain dishes, nothing remains... the location is lit by candles 🕯 in true medieval style and a few light bulbs 💡 that pointed at the ceiling create soft light.. the flavor of the dishes is very particular, the combinations are very elaborate, prepared as in 3-Michelin-star cuisine, vacuum cooking, dried and grated lemon similar to bottarga... the meat is mainly cooked by boiling the chicken because the broth is welcome at the table before ordering your dishes.. hot to sip very slowly because obviously boiling broth.. to the dish of stewed goat ... the bill finally as for gourmet cuisine for two people 119 euros for two glasses of wine a liter of water an appetizer for one person a second course for two dessert for one coffee bitters for two and the portions could be defined as tastings two max three spoons and the dish the dessert is finished.. if you want to eat well and you are a little hungry it is certainly better to eat at the restaurant (il ristoro degli elfi) for a good beef steak or at the nearby restaurant (cuore nero food e relax) where the food and dishes are traditional local mainly based on truffles mushrooms and fill the empty stomach ... you have to try it to believe it .. a return to the Middle Ages in every sense and detail.. the waiters dressed in shirts and vests make their presentation and kindness worthy of 5 stars but a shame about the rest ... I do not recommend it.

01/10/2025: Exciting idea, disappointing execution The concept sounds interesting – traditional dishes reinterpreted. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing: spaghetti was bitter and tasted of grass, trout was oversalted, sheep's stew was unspectacular, and chicken was pale and sad. The "salad for dessert" (photo) was more curious than tasty. No deception or tourist trap – just very unusual dishes that we didn't particularly enjoy, even though we do enjoy experimental food. But the location is truly amazing, and the service is excellent, too.

28/12/2025: Cute little restaurant - stopover on the way to the mountains. Unfortunately the wait for the food took more than an hour and a half for the pasta, quite disappointing to wait for so long. The venue is pretty and very traditional with heritage history

12/09/2025: Excellent food and friendly and qualified staff, highly recommended

16/08/2025: I've been to this restaurant and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the dishes: very good, well-cooked, and carefully presented. Truly a pleasure both to the palate and to the eye. It's a shame about the location: the entrance is truly beautiful and suggests an elegant experience, but once you enter the dining room, the atmosphere changes. The space is very clean, but a bit too dull and lacking in value compared to the expectations you create upon entering. With a more minimalist and refined style, certainly in keeping with the beautiful entrance, the restaurant would be a cut above. In conclusion, the cuisine is excellent and the service is good, but the dining room deserves a makeover to make the experience truly complete.

05/10/2025: "*5 stars*! Ristorante da Rita in Celano is a true paradise for lovers of Abruzzo cuisine! The authentic, traditional flavors take you on a culinary journey through Abruzzo. The homemade pasta is exquisite, and the roast beef is simply fabulous! The service is friendly and welcoming, the restaurant is tastefully decorated, and the value for money is unbeatable. If you're in the area, don't miss it! Highly recommended!"

17/08/2025: Da Rita Celano. It's not a given in this historical moment to find the kind of welcome and love you find when you step inside Ristorante Da Rita. Carefully prepared food, homemade with love, just like grandma would make it. The first courses are excellent no matter what you choose, generous portions and local ingredients. The second courses are as good as the first courses, as are the side dishes. The kindness of the owners, however, is the true value of this restaurant, which deserves every star possible and more. The pizza is superb and worth a try. Easy to digest, well-seasoned, thin, and delicious!!!! Make a reservation so you don't miss out! Suitable for families with children, who will be pampered like only aunts, uncles, and grandparents can. We just left and are already planning to return!!!! See you soon ♥️ Luca Elisa Edoardo
