I migliori ristorantinella città Celano della L'aquila

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.

13/08/2025: In Celano's main square, with a beautiful flower-filled terrace. An excellent cappuccino accompanied by fresh pastries and a good selection of artisanal ice creams. Fast and friendly service. But the real gem is the billiards room on the lower floor.

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

07/09/2025: I met him for work, I'm on a business trip from Northern Italy, excellent environment, clean, excellent cuisine, excellent service, absolutely recommended,

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.

26/05/2025: Very nice structure, highly professional staff, excellent quality dishes. Everything perfect!

11/05/2025: I was there for dinner this evening. We took a cheese tasting appetizer (very good), the other of the cured meats not so good due to the various salamis that were on the palate. The chef was kind enough to divide the 2 appetizers into equal parts without our request so that we could eat a taste of everything. First we took 2 very good imperial risottos but the price was slightly excessive, €23 for each risotto. Good coffee and bitter homemade limoncello with fabulous coastal lemons, I went back 3 years. Overall a good dinner even if the price of €85 discounted instead of €89 invites you to return for the owner's treatment, however excessive: 2 starters, 2 first courses, 1 glass of rosé and a coffee and bitters. Service quite slow. Very strong point is the terrace overlooking the castle where I hope they will return to exhibit it with spectacular aperitifs in the summer period
