I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina abruzzese in L'aquila

10/08/2026: I lived in Abruzzo for two years, and the cuisine is a serious matter, leaving aside the details—mushrooms like jam passed off as porcini mushrooms (60%)—on the menu, they write truffle, and then you end up with truffle sauce or cream, which turns out to be scorzone, making the small amount of pasta almost float in this tasteless and odorless concoction. Speechless, we don't order anything else and leave, wondering how in an Abruzzo village they can conceive of cuisine like this. Highly discouraged.

09/08/2026: I chose this place because of the reviews and the captivating photos. I couldn't have made a worse choice. Leaving aside the fact that the staff is neither qualified nor worthy of qualification. But I thought... well, let's trust them. The appetizers are a saving grace because they're a mix of cured meats and cheeses. Then came the first courses. In installments. They were presented sloppily and not well combined. But the worst came when tasting them. Chitarrina with truffle and porcini mushrooms... there was neither. The truffle was not the fresh kind, but rather the tasteless truffle paste. The mushrooms were not porcini but a mix, and it was obvious just by looking at them, and they didn't taste like porcini. Chitarrina with roe deer... a creamy brown broth with three pieces of meat in which the pasta was floating and tasted only of juniper. Strozzapreti with sausage and saffron sauce... it was a sour tomato pasta with 20 strozzapreti, the sausage not arriving. Arrosticini...come on, you can't go wrong with those...they weren't cooked properly. Basically, we ate because we were so hungry and because at 1:30 PM, where are you going? We even mentioned it to the manager, who finally offered us coffees and a plate of chitarrina with venison. Thank you so much, but I'll never go back. It's a shame because I expected tradition and quality. Instead, I found a total disaster. I wanted to order the tiramisu, but I saw it pass by and decided against it. I'm not saying a foreigner shouldn't work as a chef in an Italian restaurant, but someone, please, teach him how to cook.

19/07/2026: After descending several steps from the main square, we arrived at Lo Sgabello. A beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating on a large terrace. We ate truly delicious traditional Abruzzo dishes, from the first course to the main course to the dessert. The service was truly efficient, the staff were quick, attentive, and kind, truly talented. But what impressed us most was the fair and reasonable price for the quality of the food. Congratulations!

18/04/2026: A unique experience. Highly recommended, both for the food and the accommodation.

05/04/2026: Easter nightmare. I'll start by saying I'm a vegetarian and I made this known when I booked. If there hadn't been any options, I'd have just stated so and chosen another restaurant. The experience, however, was negative from the start: disorganized service, constant requests for cutlery, bread, glasses—often everything was missing. At one point, a friend of mine was forced to get up and go to the service table to get a plate. All for a €12 cover charge for four people. As for me, the waiter initially told me there were no alternatives other than cheeses from the appetizer. We brought the situation to the attention of the manager (I think the owner), who instead reassured us by saying that I could choose between a veggie cutlet and veggie burgers. I chose the cutlet. I was served spinach burgers, without any communication. I found this attitude profoundly disrespectful: if I were an omnivore and a dish hadn't been available, no one would have decided to substitute it for another without even notifying me. The result: I barely ate (and it wasn't something I'd ordered) and finished lunch practically empty-handed. I paid and thanked them without arguing on the spot, but it was an experience I wouldn't repeat. I don't recommend it and I won't be returning.

10/07/2026: The best food we have had in Italy! High quality, fresh food and very good value.

08/07/2026: Good quality food but unfortunately extremely disorganized service... Too bad
