I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in L'aquila

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!

26/09/2025: Gianpiero is a real character. He makes you feel like family, welcoming us with a big smile and a handshake. The food is top-notch, served promptly. For us in our fifties, 80s music was perfect for a perfect evening. Highly recommended.

21/09/2025: Excellent food, fantastic owner, you feel like you're at home, fair prices, we will definitely be back

12/10/2025: Great raw materials that make excellent dishes. Perhaps a little too long between first and second courses, if I really could suggest an improvement.

12/10/2025: A special place! For my sister's birthday, my parents chose to take us here, having already been to this delightful restaurant. One of the few places we left with a smile! Priceless attention to the ingredients, friendly and welcoming service that makes you feel immediately at home, and a memorable experience. We each decided to purchase a handmade product from the menu (they have many, from jams to liqueurs). A true gem in a small, hidden village, we will return here every time we're in the area! Thank you so much!

30/08/2025: At this restaurant, you can savor traditional Abruzzo cuisine in a slightly more refined and sophisticated atmosphere than other local restaurants. Their game appetizer, featuring top-quality cured meats, is definitely worth trying. It's plentiful and paired with a "cooked" antipasto featuring a variety of delicious dishes. The first courses were generous, especially the fettuccine with creamy porcini mushrooms and fresh truffle. However, the roe deer-filled ravioli was a bit thick and tough, and the chopped tomatoes on top didn't really add much to the dish. They also offer a wide selection of meat-based main courses, but we preferred the first courses. A wide and interesting selection of desserts, including the truly superb amarena brittle. The girls who served us were knowledgeable, kind, and above all, quick!! We'll definitely be back one evening to try their pizza, which looks delicious.

28/08/2025: We went to Giardino di Andrea during our vacation, recommended by a family member who frequents the place often. We couldn't have found a better place! The atmosphere is refined yet makes everyone feel at ease. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive, yet not intrusive. The pizza selection is extensive, with fair prices and absolutely spectacular quality! The dough is light, slightly thicker than a classic Roman round pizza. Top-quality ingredients paired beautifully, creating a gourmet experience. We had a truly unique appetizer of game cold cuts. The staff explained everything to us, and it was truly delicious. The fillet steak was also fabulous! The prices are more than fair; in fact, we were surprised by the bill when it arrived, as we honestly thought we'd pay more. This will be a place we'll visit again when we return here on vacation.

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.

07/10/2025: Impeccable service, helpful and polite. Very tender meat. Very good sides. Welcoming and very attentive atmosphere. I will definitely be back. Yes. 100%

05/10/2025: Today I had the pleasure of lunch at Emiliano's La Fuocina, and it was a truly memorable experience. I tasted a full-blood Wagyu "Italia" rib-eye steak that was simply extraordinary: a unique, tender meat, perfectly marbled, with an intense and refined flavor. An absolute delight, never tasted before! And not just the meat: the appetizers and first courses were also meticulously prepared, balanced, and bursting with flavor. All this was accompanied by attentive and friendly service, which made the day even more enjoyable. This restaurant is absolutely worth a try, and I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who loves good food and authentic gastronomic experiences.

29/09/2025: A wonderful discovery, a warm and friendly welcome, and authentic food. Everything was delicious: cheeses, homemade pasta, arrosticini, and an excellent house Montepulciano wine. A trattoria from another era! A must-try for us when we're in the area! Thanks for everything.

26/09/2025: A wonderful dinner, featuring high-quality, simple yet refined Abruzzo dishes. Delicious vegetarian options are also available. The saffron gnocchi are a dream!!!

15/10/2025: We dined at this restaurant a few weeks ago and hope to return soon. Finally, we can eat traditional Abruzzo food. Homemade pasta, appetizers with local products, and then wood-fired pizza... finally, Roman pizza... the kind where you can eat the crust because it's thin and crispy. We were so full, we skipped the main course, which is why we'll be back soon. The desserts are excellent. If you're passing through Antwerp, you can't miss this place.

14/10/2025: Perfect Quick and efficient. Even though it was busy, we didn't wait. The house appetizer was truly homemade. Fresh and authentic products Their homemade pasta is top-notch. The right portions I recommend it to anyone who wants to make a unique day discovering the beautiful villages of Abruzzo.

19/09/2025: Truly excellent food, dishes with attention to detail and raw materials, very friendly owner. Highly recommended.

18/09/2025: Everything was well done. Very tasty dishes and excellent ingredients. Well done.

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!!!!!

09/09/2025: A historic venue that exudes a sense of pleasure. Excellent food, especially the ice cream and nougat, house specialties. The coffee is also good. The atmosphere is very charming, on par with other famous historic venues.

08/09/2025: Quality and courtesy in a period setting.

13/10/2025: Lo Scalco dell’Aquila is a historic restaurant located in the heart of L’Aquila’s historic center, renowned for its refined cuisine that blends Abruzzese tradition with modern culinary innovation.

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!

27/09/2025: If you're passing through Roccaraso—winter after skiing or summer after a hike in the Monte Greco woods—don't miss the opportunity to have dinner (or lunch!) at Chi Chi Bio. I stumbled upon it almost by accident and had an excellent food and wine experience. Quality food, knowledgeable staff, and a reasonable wait. I highly recommend it.

21/09/2025: Welcoming location. Highly professional staff. Excellent food, a triumph of flavors and meticulous preparation. We always love returning.

08/10/2025: I recommend fasting for a day before going to eat at their place. The portions are huge and the food is delicious. I recommend the ravioli, one of their specialties. The prices are very fair. I highly recommend going there.

07/10/2025: What you'd expect from an Abruzzo trattoria. Huge portions, bold flavors, and quality meat. Affordable prices, a good value, and now in the new location, plenty of seating, parking, and reasonable service times. Two first courses, a second course split in half, a half-liter of house wine, two side dishes, and two coffees for €51 total. Recommended for a "strong" experience. Visited September 17th.
