Scopri il migliore ristorante di cucina cucina abruzzesenella città Opi della L'aquila

02/09/2024: The typicality of the old "Madonnina" no longer exists. Dear Mr. Nicandro, your lineage is not up to your standards. About thirty years ago I came on holiday to Pescasseroli every summer for all of my son's first 6 years and this restaurant owned by Mr. Nicandro had always been our favourite, a real must. As an amarcord, my wife and I decided today to return to the legendary Mr. Nicandro and his typical cuisine, and for this reason we booked a hotel this weekend. We enter to review the interior and the table where we can sit and a 50-year-old lady who was charging a customer stops us in a rude manner to tell us in an inelegant way that we could not continue. We stop and the lady reluctantly tells us that she would go to see if there was a free table, but not before having placed a divider to prevent any possible access beyond the cash counter and I perceive that they have evidently previously suffered unpleasant furtive compartmentalizations on the part of someone, but certainly the gesture regardless of whoever is in front of it certainly does not appear professional. If necessary there are more professional logistical solutions, even more so since the venue has been completely renovated. I was pleased to point out to her that I had already been coming here 30 years ago, but to my involvement of affection for the legendary place in telling her that everything has changed I bitterly objected that if everything hadn't changed after 30 years she might as well throw away the keys to the restaurant. . At that point I replied that not always when restaurants are renovated and/or enlarged they always remain the same and that, given her declared arrogance, I would have gladly agreed with her but only at the end of lunch. The rude woman's response was one of the inappropriately self-referential ones: "I'm always right, I already know it, I don't need to know it from customers, because the saying that customers are always right doesn't exist here......" The only positive aspect of the whole lunch was at the end when, before leaving, I was able to see the legendary Mr. Nicandro again and say goodbye to him with real pleasure. But the only isolated pleasure. Silly chitarrine pasta with truffle (look at the mess that has formed in the photo), the waiter who bumped into my wife's chair every time he passed asked us if we wanted parmesan for the pasta, we told him yes and he amateurishly threw a sachet of the same on the table size of those of sugar for coffee at the bar, which I invite you to see in the other photo. But where did the typical and welcoming restaurant of the legendary Mr. Nicandro end up??? The lamb was simply normal but his usual one was neither simple nor normal but was rather special, deserving of a trip from Rome. The terrible welcome and the ignorance shown by that 50-year-old lady (I didn't understand if she is the daughter or daughter-in-law of the owner Mr. Nicandro) made us cancel the Madonnina from our restaurants. There's really no reason to go there anymore. Not recommended.

31/08/2024: Have a nice dinner. Tasted polenta and sausage and kebabs. Place on the Marsicana road, no car park available except for a few places to share with the other restaurant, the old inn. The room inside has many stairs and is therefore difficult for those in need. However, the kindness of the manager should be mentioned.
