22/02/2026: A huge round of applause to these two wonderful people who run this little gem with love and passion, where the food is divine and you feel completely pampered. See you soon!

28/12/2025: Truly a delightful place, a tiny restaurant in the village of Pietrasecca, near Carsoli. Authentic cuisine from days gone by. Super friendly welcome, everything strictly homemade with locally sourced ingredients.

20/12/2025: Food and service 100% recommended 👌🏽👏🏼👏🏼

18/03/2026: Enchanting place overlooking Piccolomini Castle. You immediately feel at home. The appetizer was stellar, made with quality, local ingredients. Highly recommended! The steak was spectacular!

13/03/2026: A charming place, the terrace is a wonder beyond words; every dish, from appetizer to dessert, is a pure delight for the palate and the eyes. The attention to detail is paramount, as is the care and freshness of the dishes. Not to mention the hospitality and attention Giampiero lavishes on each and every guest, making everyone feel pampered and at home.

08/02/2026: Three stars for the place, which is a bit small and the loud noise doesn't help much. Otherwise, everything is delicious, from the appetizers, the cured meats, the cheeses, the excellent first courses, and the tasty second courses. The dessert experience is heavenly, delicious, and unforgettable. If you're in the area, I highly recommend it.

01/02/2026: A well-maintained restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a stunning view of Rocca di Cambio. The food is excellent, starting with the Rocche antipasto, which offers not only uniquely flavorful cured meats and cheeses, but also hot dishes. The first courses are also delicious, such as the polenta with porcini mushrooms and truffles, a true revelation. The lamb shank, too, was a first, with an intense yet delicate flavor. And to finish, the desserts included a delicious apple tart, the Scomposta, and finally, a proper tiramisu, with excellent flavor. Aside from a small mix-up during service, I can say we had a wonderful time and are sure to return when we're in the area again.

21/03/2026: Wonderful secluded but in-town quiet location, the rooms are very nice, very clean and spacious, they include a small but efficient kitchenette, the bathrooms are also very spacious and comfortable. Overall an excellent place to stay, they also have a great restaurant where you can enjoy the local delicacies.

17/03/2026: We ate very well, the place was a little uncomfortable but beautiful, all in wood.

01/03/2026: It's been a long time since I've been to a restaurant like this. The atmosphere is very pleasant and clean. The food is truly excellent, but what really stands out is the owner's passion for what he does. Last (but not least!) note: during the evening, the owner's father started playing the piano. It was all truly perfect. Unfortunately, I don't live very close, but I'll definitely make sure to visit again. THANK YOU!

23/02/2026: The restaurant has only a few tables, but it's delicious and spotlessly clean. Excellent food and impeccable service. And our compliments to the owner's father, who treated us to a delightful piano performance during our meal. Well done. We'll definitely be back.

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.

23/02/2026: In the center of L'Aquila, just steps from Piazza Duomo and the main street, lies our favorite restaurant in the city. We've been frequenting Da Lincosta since 2019, and it has never disappointed us at every lunch or dinner, always noting an improvement in the quality of the dishes offered. They also recently renovated the restaurant, and in the summer, you can dine on their splendid terrace. The menu changes based on seasonal produce, but some dishes are always present, and having tasted practically all of them over the years, I can confirm what I said above. The wine list is excellent, featuring excellent wines from Abruzzo. The desserts deserve special mention: pastry chef Federico, the owners' son, creates sublime and balanced desserts. Also worth trying is the Sunday breakfast, which is offered in both sweet and savory options, always using homemade products. I recommend booking.

20/02/2026: Another evening at this small restaurant in the heart of the city. Everything was just as I left it. The service was exceptional, the food delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I sincerely thank you for your hard work and dedication, which we can see in the food and service. See you soon.

09/03/2026: We had lunch at Le Gole restaurant and had a very pleasant experience. We were warmly welcomed and the service was attentive, with reasonable wait times between courses. The value for money was excellent, and we truly rediscovered the flavors of yesteryear, the authentic, traditional ones. A special thank you for the complimentary bottle of wine to toast my birthday: a truly kind gesture that made the lunch even more special. We'll be happy to return. 🍷

22/02/2026: Exceptional food, especially their homemade pasta. Very friendly staff, great prices. I absolutely recommend it! Plus, the restaurant has a wonderful view!

22/03/2026: Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff! We went back the next day.

26/01/2026: Had lunch with a group of friends. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff were super friendly, and the food was delicious. The first courses were indescribable. This restaurant was a pleasant discovery. I will recommend it and definitely return.

01/03/2026: A very quaint hotel in the heart of Pescasseroli. The welcome was perfect; the owners are incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. The rooms are spotless and cozy, and the breakfast is exceptional!

01/03/2026: We stayed here for 3 days with my daughter Giulia and my partner. We had a wonderful time. The room was super comfortable, the breakfast was excellent and varied, the hotel was very central, and the owners were very kind. My daughter couldn't wait to come down for breakfast every morning. Thank you so much.

22/02/2026: A place close to my heart... Abruzzo feels like home to me. This little hotel is delightful, and the food is excellent, even for outside guests.

29/01/2026: I was a guest for work. If I ever come to L'Aquila for a vacation, I'll definitely stay at this family-run, yet truly professionally managed hotel. The food was delicious, with a freshly baked croissant for breakfast, just the way I like it. The staff were helpful and attentive to their guests' habits. They noticed I was carefully avoiding tomatoes and dairy products and offered suitable options without a word. I thanked them and explained my slight intolerances. The RESTAURANT/PIZZERIA is spacious and attractive, with rooms that sleep three, and tidy and comfortable bathrooms. But above all these aesthetic features, I have to give it a sixth star for the cleanliness of all the rooms. Finally, there's ample parking with a large solar shelter that can accommodate five or six vans or trucks.

05/03/2026: Always a guarantee. Obelix-sized portions and exceptional quality. At lunchtime during the week, you might be lucky to find a table. On weekends, you have to book, with waits lasting almost three months. This proves the 5-star rating is real.

05/03/2026: Intimate, welcoming, and top service, fantastic food and out-of-this-world desserts, especially the cheesecake with orange marmalade, honey, and almonds, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

24/02/2026: A pleasant discovery, a wonderful location, excellent raw materials, and friendly, super professional staff. An excellent restaurant for those seeking the perfect combination of tradition and innovation. Congratulations on everything.

21/02/2026: I'd been trying to make a reservation for a while, and I finally made it. Everything was on point, but the service and friendliness were even more so. The cuisine is traditional, but with a touch of personality that never hurts. Congratulations! We'll be back.
