I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in L'aquila

05/05/2026: Beautiful campsite located in the valley between Opi and Villetta Barrea. The Sangro River flows along its inner boundary. The river branched off to power the mill. A truly beautiful, completely flat site where children can have fun riding bikes and playing safely. Tents and campers are welcome. The entire area is lit by streetlights scattered throughout the campsite. The old mill also has a bar and a restaurant/pizzeria serving excellent cuisine. Prices are reasonable and affordable. Drinkable water is available from the fountains scattered around. Camper loading and unloading areas are easily accessible. Hot showers are included in the price, and bathrooms are clean. Recommended.

03/05/2026: I've stayed at this property in the past and even left a positive review for the restaurant, which I confirm is good. Unfortunately, the experience was completely different and disappointing. We booked a bungalow (No. 1) for two nights, paying €150 in advance. The evening of our arrival, returning around 10:00 PM, we realized the air conditioning wasn't working. Considering the property is located in the mountains (Opi), the night was very cold, and the solution offered—a simple heater—proved to be completely inadequate. The next morning, it was impossible to even take a shower because of the cold. I contacted the management: the lady was helpful and apologetic, while the manager I spoke to later was unsympathetic, almost annoyed, and didn't acknowledge the inconvenience, even though we were traveling with a child. In the end, I was refunded less than the amount due (€70 instead of €75), which I found unfair given the situation. I'd like to point out that the restaurant is not included in this review, but the bungalow experience was negative and didn't live up to expectations. After leaving the property, we found accommodations in a nearby B&B, similarly priced but with much better service, including an excellent breakfast. I therefore recommend choosing your accommodations carefully.

07/07/2026: Excellent equipped area: showers, toilets, camper service, electricity, ideal for visiting L'Aquila (if you bring your scooter in the camper).

22/06/2026: Clean, familiar, and elegant atmosphere. Authentic and plentiful food. Excellent service.

30/06/2026: The owner is arrogant, annoyed, and rude. I'd give it a zero.

30/06/2026: The pizza is always excellent, the cutlets and vegetables are homemade. The arancini and cannoli are excellent. The atmosphere is fantastic and it feels like eating at home. The owners are always very kind, and it's always a pleasure to stop for a bite.

12/04/2026: Excellent cuisine, excellent and pleasant service

14/12/2025: We arrived for lunch very late, but despite everything, we were greeted warmly! Very nice place! Excellent food, highly recommended!

07/05/2026: Very nice place, excellent welcome, kind and polite staff, precise and fast service, the pizza is definitely not Neapolitan but believe me, very, very good, fair prices.

12/01/2026: Great pizzas, large and well-made! I'll definitely be back.

13/07/2026: They're very well organized. I complimented them. The food was good and the service was friendly. Well done.

06/07/2026: over charged but it wasn't just that there was a few issues I suppose they just thought I was a silly tourist who didn't understand what good italian food is if they knew I was a good friend of some of the locals who often go there, it might have been different but that's not fair

23/02/2026: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Grancia dei Celestini was absolutely amazing. Set within a beautiful historic establishment full of charm and character, the atmosphere is truly special. Everything was spotless and impeccably maintained. Antonio is a wonderful host — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. His care and attention to every detail made us feel completely at home. The breakfast and dinner was delicious and prepared with so much love. An unforgettable experience — we can’t wait to return!

20/12/2025: We stopped here WITHOUT a reservation and LOVED IT! Antonio was brilliant and "il cuoco," Claudio served us "a meal to die for." We loved the informality. We arrived for dinner and made not a single decision, the meal was pre-detemined and fabulous. This is our new home away from home.

02/07/2026: Very central bar where we drank two very good coffees, served with courtesy and kindness by the lady at the counter... very good price... recommended to everyone

03/06/2026: We went to this place for an aperitivo: after sitting down, we weren't given a menu. We ordered three proseccos and asked for something to accompany them. Unfortunately, what was served at the table showed obvious signs of mold. We immediately reported the problem to the owner, but no alternative or solution was offered. A disappointing experience, especially regarding the way the incident was handled.

12/07/2026: We ordered two sandwiches, which the employee described as thick and very substantial. We received two thin, partially burned slices of bread with a sheet of cheese and two tiny slices of tomatoes, accompanied by an exorbitant price. I highly recommend going elsewhere.

07/07/2026: Beautiful place, just like the Alps. Everything is fine, except the service is just adequate.

12/07/2026: Very good meat but I have to say that the prices are too high

29/06/2026: Wide selection of meats, quality service, comfortable atmosphere; in a word, recommended!

12/07/2026: It's nice to sit outside at the tables set up in the beautiful square of Capestrano

11/07/2026: Although it was full she found a table for two! Very tasty and an impressive service.

30/06/2026: The best arrosticini in Abruzzo, with the nicest waitress in Italy, and the coolest decor in the world! I highly recommend!

17/04/2026: Thank you, it was delicious. I recommend it :-) Have a nice day.

28/02/2026: Speechless experience, I am still enjoying the unbelievable combination of excellent French cheese and wine!

29/06/2026: Simple but excellent quality food. I recommend trying the focaccia with your main course; it's delicious, and the kindness of the staff made it even better. Excellent value for money, we'll be back.

04/05/2026: I was truly impressed by this steakhouse: you can immediately taste the quality of the cuts and the care taken in their preparation. I tried a perfectly cooked steak, tender and flavorful, among the best I've had in recent memory. The wine selection was also excellent, well-recommended by the staff, who were always attentive but never intrusive. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, ideal for both a quiet dinner and a special occasion. I will definitely be back.
