04/10/2025: For a select few, connoisseurs of all five senses... Yes, even hearing, when you hear Barbara's spoon clink at the end of the meal as she whips the cream on the spot. Thanks to Andrea for making us reconcile ourselves with the idea of ​​eating at a restaurant!!

03/10/2025: Wonderful place the host Andrea is very knowledgeable of the food of the region and the quality of the ingredients is remarkable. Healthy and plentiful lunch. Lovely spot and all the food is healthy as well, recommended!

20/10/2025: Comfortable place and excellent food. Friendly staff and fast service. We really appreciated that they welcomed us and our dog without any fuss.

12/10/2025: We didn't sleep here, but we ate tender, delicious meat. I recommend the citrus-flavored veal and the grilled lamb. The artichoke dish was less interesting. The place has paper placemats, but they brought us a glass for red wine! The staff was kind and quick.

11/10/2025: Very good quality, shame that the portions are unsatisfactory

08/10/2025: Tasty food and the best service in the world

15/10/2025: We already can't wait to eat at this restaurant again! The staff and owner will welcome you wonderfully. The atmosphere is simple but very welcoming. The food is the icing on the cake: traditional yet sophisticated dishes with excellent pairings, all at fair prices. I recommend trying the Dulcis Venia dessert—we could have eaten 10 of them! We'll be back soon.

14/10/2025: I've noticed small changes to the place, improving the aesthetics. When you walk in and sit down, a journey through flavors begins, paired elegantly and never banally; everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail. I'll be back!!!!!

09/10/2025: We had dinner with a group of colleagues. I have to say, the place is very nice...historic decor and atmosphere...star-quality service! Good quality food! Prices in line with the type of place!

05/10/2025: A welcoming, family-run restaurant just steps from the Castle, offering excellent homemade food. The owner is incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, serving and describing his dishes with passion and energy. Each dish has a story and a reason for being there, and we were treated to a meticulous service throughout the meal, as were the other diners at the tables. Delicious food in a delightful atmosphere. We will definitely be back, and we sincerely thank the owner for the welcome and unexpected gift of a lovely bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, which we will drink to his health! Highly recommended, and see you soon!

02/10/2025: Visited yesterday for lunch with friends, all experts in wine, terroir, and food. First-class hospitality and a meticulously curated menu, crafting ideas using top-quality local ingredients (grains, herbs, flowers, and select meats) crafted with inspiration and substance. Whether it's grain risotto with herbs and dandelion petals, or pork stew, or lamb with local herbs, you're spoiled for choice. Sandro Baliva manages everything with care, passion, and a surprising knowledge of the rural culture of the past, which he respectfully reinterprets in his dishes. A bonus is the location, just steps from Piccolomini Castle, and the view of the Fucino valley.

07/10/2025: Excellent dinner of bruschetta and arrosticini, accompanied by a delicious pecorino cheese! Friendly staff, and a complimentary digestive set to soothe the stomach! Highly recommended.

28/09/2025: Beautiful location with equally good food

19/10/2025: Every time I'm in the area, La Portella is a must-visit for the authentic goodness of the dishes served and the cozy, rustic atmosphere. I love the cleanliness and elegance of the place, and I find the service to be quick and attentive to customer needs, with particular attention to food intolerances. Reservations aren't always necessary, even though the place is quite popular.

14/10/2025: Everything was very good and authentic! The mixed grill was a little more substantial with all the bones... Anyway, I recommend it!

21/10/2025: Without a doubt, the best restaurant in the Rivisondoli-Pescocostanzo-Roccaraso area. Excellent food, impeccable service, and attentive, courteous, and fun staff. The price is reasonable for the quality. Reservations are recommended, as seating is limited. We'll be happy to return.

20/10/2025: A bad experience, starting with the wine... we ordered two glasses and were brought an open bottle and a closed one with a different flavor. We pointed this out to the owner, who looked annoyed and replied that she had opened it at noon. We then received an appetizer of cured meats and cheeses, which was quite good... the worst was with the first courses: we ordered pappardelle with truffles and they arrived drowned in cream... incredible!!! They were inedible. My other first course was a large bucatini with pecorino cheese, completely flavorless and with tons of oil. At that point, we decided to ask for the bill and leave. It was a shame because the place was very nice... but now we understand why it's called AL GIOCONDO!!!

28/09/2025: Ideal for a pleasant, convivial, and delicious evening, with excellent value. This venue is a must-visit in L'Aquila's nightlife district. It offers a wide and refined selection of beers to pair with platters of local cured meats and cheeses, or dishes like burgers and pinsa (typical Italian pasta). The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Prices are very competitive considering the excellent quality and central location.

23/09/2025: I went there, I went again, and I will definitely go again 👍👍👍👍👍👍

05/10/2025: Last lunch of the holidays, but the first for quality! High-quality ingredients, attentive, punctual, and courteous service, all enjoyed on time. Pleasant atmosphere. Excellent first courses, especially the lamb sauce, melt-in-your-mouth braised beef in Montepulciano, and some of the best gratinated vegetables I've ever eaten. The desserts were excellent, both the sbrisolona with warm cream and the ricotta and dark chocolate cake. Truly a top-notch restaurant, congratulations.

02/10/2025: Food and service was amazing, enjoyed every bite.

19/08/2025: A delightful place. The ravioli alla roccolana are unbeatable. The cuisine is meticulously prepared, and the service is courteous and efficient. I highly recommend it!

13/08/2025: Everything was delicious! Quality products served in tasty, traditional local dishes. The very kind waiter provided detailed explanations of the dishes I'd ordered... definitely worth a try!

11/10/2025: Well-kept pub and warrior atmosphere.

11/10/2025: very good smash, fast and helpful service, not to mention the super friendly owner

08/04/2025: Our favorite stop on Corso Ovidio for coffee or an aperitivo. Owner Marco is a gracious and friendly host, the coffee and snacks are excellent.

12/07/2025: A truly wonderful place in one of Italy's most beautiful villages! We literally savoured mouth-watering platters, featuring a wide variety of products, all of which were of excellent quality, refined, and tasteful in their presentation. We found the cool air wonderful for this summer, a warm welcome for us and our furry friend, and spectacular prices, just like their craft beers! Professional, attentive staff who welcome you with a smile and make you feel at home! Coffee, pastries included, and the option to take away truly authentic, artisanal products! Highly recommended, thank you so much. Keep up the good work, see you soon! We're planning our next visit to return with family and friends! Thank you so much for everything! Alessandra, Fabrizio, and Zeus

30/06/2025: We took a cutting board and a beer, a lot of variety of cured meats, cheeses and local products. The place is very nice, with tables both in the square and in the cave.
