I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in L'aquila

11/11/2025: It is walkable from a town of Barisciano. The restaurant has very warm and friendly atmosphere. They have very good quality/ variety of pizzas made by hand and special oven. We enjoyed pizza, veggies and wine. They gave us pretty photos of the area. It added a great memory to the trip.

01/11/2025: We stopped only for refreshments, the food was excellent, the service was excellent, hospitable and elegant.

09/11/2025: A nougat coffee worth the break One afternoon, I decided to treat myself to a break at Bar FratelliNurzia with my son, and it was an elegant, warm, and authentic experience. The establishment, located in the heart of Piazza Duomo, with its history dating back to 1835 and its art nouveau atmosphere, is perfect for stopping, taking a breather, and enjoying something unique. We ordered the famous nougat coffee, perfectly balanced between the intense aroma of coffee and the smooth sweetness of the "Nurzia" nougat from L'Aquila. The texture is enveloping, the flavor delicate yet bold. This sweet moment complemented the elegance of the establishment and the kindness of the service. Special thanks to Gianluca and Giuly, the baristas who welcomed us with great kindness, smiles, and professionalism: they guided us in our choices, explaining the history of nougat, and making the break even more special. And I can't help but mention the owner, Natalia, who, even though she wasn't there, I already know, and I know how much love and care she brings to this family project. The result? A place where time slows down, flavor is celebrated, and humanity is felt. A full five-star rating.

14/10/2025: It was my first time ever, I will gladly go back.

06/12/2025: We only ate appetizers and homemade pasta. The food was plentiful and delicious. We'll be back.

02/12/2025: A classic trattoria with a family atmosphere. Very reasonable prices despite the generous portions and good quality.

21/11/2025: A restaurant that focuses on the essentials, without frills. Friendly service, good, homemade, and plentiful food. Very fair prices.

09/11/2025: After three years, I returned to this place with friends, and I must say the food is always excellent and the welcome is equally warm. Well done, keep it up!

01/11/2025: Great surprise. We walked in without any recommendations and it was a great surprise. Very well prepared dishes, good selection of dishes, super friendly host and owner which is also the cook. Every dish was great, and the had wide selection of Gluten free dishes which were excellent. Gluten free deserts as well. Highly recommend.

30/11/2025: Excellent dishes, absolutely recommended

08/11/2025: Great experience! Exceptional food and a lovely place. They have a terrace for aperitifs/drinks and an indoor dining room. We've been here three times because we loved it. I especially recommend their special appetizer, all the desserts, the first courses (my favorites are the chef's ravioli and nettle gnocchi), and for the second course, the sweet and sour suckling pig and the lamb with cacio e limone! P.S. On a special note, they have Gaza Cola, one of the few restaurants where we've found it, and we couldn't be happier!

08/10/2025: I expected better, average product, good platter of cured meats, cheeses and fried foods, you could feel the low quality of the cured meats, costs too high for an average quality product, nice location

13/09/2025: If you come to Castel di Sangro, you absolutely have to stop and eat here. A very well-kept restaurant, with attentive and fast staff, and excellent food. Excellent value. My partner and I (we're parents, so we came with our young daughter) split a €24 appetizer and then ordered two first courses. My pappardelle with porcini mushrooms were spectacular. Finally, a lemon sorbet to refresh the palate. A highly recommended place for new parents. The bathroom also has a changing table for emergencies.

23/11/2025: All fresh products, homemade cured meats, top-notch pappardelle. The owner, Davide, is a wonderful person and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

15/12/2025: A must-see. Excellent food and friendly staff.

06/12/2025: I'm happy to return to Chalet delle Rose because, in addition to the quality of the products (especially the meat), I find Carmine attentive, welcoming, and a truly pleasant person.

21/11/2025: “Corso Stretto” was a truly pleasant discovery: a small but meticulously crafted restaurant with just a few tables, so reservations are recommended. The menu is refined, innovative without compromising on tradition, and the dishes are always beautifully presented. We tried: artisanal rigatoni with ricotta, sausage, and truffle: excellent. The gnocchi with pumpkin, porcini mushrooms, and stracciatella were also very good. The suckling pig with truffles and chicory was equally impressive. To finish, the gianduia fondant—original and delicious—and a lemon tartlet, beautiful to look at and delicious. The prices are fair, especially considering the central location.

31/10/2025: A refined and authentic gastronomic experience in the heart of L'Aquila. Corso Stretto stands out for its attention to detail, welcoming atmosphere, and cuisine that surprises with balance and personality. The dishes tell a story of local tradition and passion: the pasta, perfectly al dente, wrapped in an intense and harmonious sauce, reveals a masterful selection of ingredients and a profound respect for tradition. Each bite is a journey through authentic flavors and balanced combinations, where nothing is left to chance. The desserts, however, deserve a special mention. The lactose-free creations, entirely homemade, are a true triumph of taste and technique. Gianduja chocolate blends with a velvety rum cream in a play of textures and aromas that captivates from the first bite: measured sweetness, elegant aromas, and a balance that speaks the language of fine pastry making. An unmissable address for those seeking sincere yet refined cuisine, capable of moving with simplicity and leaving you wanting to return.

17/10/2025: A legendary restaurant without equal in the area, with amazing appetizers and super fresh meat, friendly and helpful staff, especially the owner, highly recommended.

04/09/2025: Small but welcoming place, excellent food and fair prices, we will definitely be back

12/12/2025: An unforgettable evening at Grotta di Aligi On Wednesday evening, I shared dinner with colleagues at Ristorante Grotta di Aligi in L’Aquila, and it was a truly memorable experience. A welcoming atmosphere, soft lighting, and attentive yet unobtrusive service: the perfect place to gather and enjoy. We began with a selection of local cured meats and cheeses: fragrant, balanced, and carefully presented. Next, a warm and enveloping chickpea, chestnut, and mushroom soup, rich in authentic flavors. The first course, a chitarra pasta with ricotta, guanciale, and pecorino cheese, won everyone over: a perfect harmony of softness and savory flavors. The braised veal in Montepulciano was tender and flavorful, accompanied by potatoes and sautéed chicory that complemented the dish impeccably. And to finish, a light and delicious cream of fresh fruit, served elegantly. Sincere thanks to Mario, the owner, for his passion for his work, and applause to the entire staff, especially the lady who welcomed us with kindness and attention. You can sense the teamwork and the desire to make every guest feel at home. Highly recommended for those seeking a true local cuisine experience in a refined and convivial setting.

The dough is handmade daily, leavened for at least 24 hours, and the flour used is type 1, derived from locally grown wheat. *The Food* The pizzas are true works of art, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.

The owner is also very friendly and takes great care of his customers. *The Atmosphere* The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, perfect for an evening with friends or a romantic dinner. *Prices* Prices are reasonable, with pizzas ranging from 9 to 14 euros. *Rating* 5 out of 5 stars!

31/10/2025: These are the best pizzas I've eaten in Italy.

11/11/2025: CONGRATULATIONS. Sincere compliments. We loved everything, from the appetizers, you could taste the quality and freshness in every bite. The two first courses and the second course... The wild boar cacciatore, which honestly, until now, I've always felt was the strong game, but this is the first restaurant where I've tasted delicacy and, above all, incredible tenderness. Everything, everything, delicious! With a nice DNA Rosso, priced at €78.00, so excellent value for money! Thank you, it will definitely be our favorite place when we're near L'Aquila! Guaranteed!

11/11/2025: Excellent waiter service excellent
