23/09/2025: An intense experience sampling the chef's dishes, all refined and delicious. Worthy of note are the saffron and Taleggio tavioli, and the veal creamed with Montepulciano. Recommended.

04/09/2025: Set amongst the postcard perfect backdrop of Monte Velino, this is without doubt a textbook hidden gem quaint town restaurant. If the drive to Rosciolo dei Marsi isn’t spectacular enough, it is matched with an equally spectacular dining experience at Locanda dell’Arco. The cuisine is a far cry from the usual suspects found in most abruzzese restaurants… this is next level. The restaurant is run by a young husband and wife team, with the husband heading the kitchen. The Chef has brought his Piemontese culinary roots into the heart of Abruzzo, with a menu that respects both tradition but also with a flair of innovation. The menu is small and hand written, ensuring it’s align with what’s seasonal and available at its best. The wine is in a league of its own, expect small batch barolo, barbera d’asti and barbaresco, amongst many others, all hand picked by the passionate couple. The chef’s wife, who leads the service, highly recommended the carpaccio di manzo with mandarin and basil sorbet. Let’s just say, I drove 2 hours to arrive at this restaurant and would travel 2 hours again just for this dish. Refreshing, clean and refined, without being pretentious, it set the pace for what was to be a memorable meal. As a Piemontese should be, the chef is famed for his risotto, today it was zafferanno with liquorice, his signature dish I apparently. No this is not something i would ever order without a recommendation, so I’m lucky I asked. This was without doubt the best risotto I’ver ever had, it wasn’t to be expected in a small remote town in the middle of Abruzzo, but this was just spectacular. To finish, another Piemontese classic, bonet. A chocolate and amaretto dessert that was probably the best spoon of food I’ve had in a very long time in an Italian restaurant. Luckily we ordered two of the same as it would be criminal to share. The desserts are truly outstanding and if I was a guts, I’d probably would have ordered two! The experience at Locanda was unexpectedly exceptional. The staff, the meal, the location, this is a restaurant that begs to be revisited and well worth a day dream even from Rome! Thank you Locanda dell’Arco for a memorable experience.

18/10/2025: We had lunch here after visiting the Stiffe Caves. The food was excellent (both appetizers and main courses), but I also want to emphasize the kindness of the service, and more! The waiter even followed us out to give us something we'd forgotten! I highly recommend it!

26/10/2025: Excellent restaurant in Ovindoli. The polenta with tomato sauce and the pappardelle with wild boar and truffle ragù are delicious. Seating on two levels. I recommend making a reservation because it was packed on the weekend. Friendly staff. Average prices. Their deconstructed tiramisu is fantastic; I recommend trying it!

02/10/2025: Homemade dishes, excellent wine, good service...it's worth booking...

30/09/2025: Beautiful homely place, with home cooked freshly made food. Lady serving us was very friendly and explained the menu to us in English as we don't talk in Italian. Food was delicious!!! Would definitely come back!

11/10/2025: Sublime, warm and welcoming, friendly wait staff, quality food, it was a wonderful discovery. We were lucky to find a table, but from what I understand, you need to book well in advance. Recommended.

17/09/2025: I've never seen such inadequate communication! Reservations are practically impossible, the opening days shown on Google are incorrect compared to reality, and if you do find yourself on the opening day, the restaurant's response times will be wrong! In short, you'll find yourself listening to a record you haven't even prepared well... all of which reflects the owners' lack of entrepreneurial ability.

16/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. We tried an excellent Scanno pecorino cheese, followed by ravioli with zucchini and saffron sauce, and chitarra pasta with sheep's milk ricotta shavings. The main courses looked inviting from nearby tables. Fairly priced.

16/09/2025: We ate well in the local tradition.

03/11/2025: Nice place, excellent food, highly recommended

25/10/2025: Super generous dishes. I tried the gnocchi alla Gio-Ric, and it would have easily served three people. Recommended.

02/11/2025: Welcoming restaurant, fast service, very kind waiters, always available to accommodate our requests. Exquisite food, fair price.

11/10/2025: Extremely kind and friendly staff, great prices, and excellent quality...if you're passing through these parts after a bit of hiking, stop by! It's definitely worth it.

15/10/2025: Everything was top-notch: the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the friendly and approachable service, the undeniable quality of the products served, and the experience and skill of the staff who cook them with great care. An honorable mention goes to the grilled porcini mushrooms: the best I've ever had, absolutely worth the price! The homemade bread of various types and the dry pastries served with coffee are also delicious. I hope to return soon to try other dishes!

12/10/2025: The outside setting looks like a small trattoria, but once inside, you'll find an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. Excellent food, friendly and polite staff. I'm celiac, and even though I'm not certified as an AIC, they know exactly how to prepare food for celiacs, and they can recommend foods that aren't suitable. They have gluten-free bread that's freshly made. The venue is also suitable for receptions.
