I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in L'aquila

02/01/2026: Christmas lunch was à la carte, so we could order without having to stick to a fixed menu. The dishes were simple, delicious, and satisfying, even in their portion sizes.

01/01/2026: A truly exceptional experience! The restaurant offers a welcoming and refined atmosphere, ideal for an evening with friends. The staff was friendly, professional, and always attentive, making us feel immediately at ease. The dishes are prepared with high-quality ingredients and, above all, delicious. Excellent value for money. A place you'll really want to return to. Highly recommended! 👏🍽️

03/11/2025: Pleasant experience; welcoming place, friendly staff, good, traditional food, reasonable prices. The only downside is the wait, which was a bit too long. I understand that in the fall, which is not the peak season, there are fewer staff, but arriving around 1:30 PM and leaving after 3:30 PM seems a bit long for a lunch for four. We'll definitely be back, but we hope for a shorter wait :) Good luck, and thank you.

02/11/2025: I had lunch here today with a friend, the only restaurant where we found a table after 1 pm without a reservation, and we were grateful to be able to eat something hot. However, the bill was very annoying, as it was clearly higher than the reality. For starters, the cover charge was apparently €2.50 per person, contrary to what was stated on the menu. They treated us like idiots because we couldn't read that amount, and I challenge anyone to read €2.50 on even one of the two menus you see in the photo. Then I asked what the first course of the day was, and we were told spaghetti alla chitarra and polenta, and a third course that I don't remember, so it cost €10 as was clearly stated, but the polenta was charged €12, as were the stuffed pasta and gnocchi. For second courses, a pork chop that arrived as an overcooked and chewy chop, and a roast scamorza cheese that wasn't actually roasted, but rather freshly reheated. The cost of the pitcher of water, still and not sparkling, as stated on the receipt, was €2.50, and it wasn't listed on the menu. Ignoring the quality of the main courses and the mistake with the water, the cost of which remains unknown to the customer, the amount charged was at least 7% higher than the deductible from the menu. Now, €3 more on €41.50 doesn't make me poor, and it probably won't make the restaurant super rich, but treating customers like idiots is definitely not a winning marketing strategy and only leads to a bad reputation. The first courses were very good, however.

23/08/2025: I'm not a food critic, so I won't go into detail. My home cooking is always the best. Today, however, I ate well, appreciated the service, and the bill was reasonable. If I were to find myself in this area again, I'd return to this restaurant to feel at home for a while.

17/06/2025: We had lunch at this place, we were 38 motorcyclists, good food, excellent service, kind and efficient staff.

04/09/2025: For an excellent breakfast or lunch break, I recommend this place. Kindness and friendliness reign supreme. When we return to L'Aquila, it will be our go-to place. Thanks for the hospitality, especially to Emanuela and Pierluigi for the excellent breakfasts.

09/08/2025: Ordinary, at best, for Italy - the risotto was reheated (my wife cooks it better), and although the fusilli with speck and radicchio were tasty, the consistency of the sauce wasn't quite right. We had better experiences - and value - elsewhere.

18/09/2025: I've rarely eaten so badly in my life. Meatballs that even now, five hours later, I can't digest, not to mention the pizza, one of the most horrible I've ever tasted. I'm sorry, but I don't want to feel bad because of others, and it's not fair. If you care about your stomach, don't go.

21/07/2025: Excellent self-service, both in terms of quality and price. Well done guys.

11/06/2025: Bel posto, Antipasto molto abbondante, e ravioli di ricotta, tutto ottimo, cibo di qualità. e buon rapporto qualità prezzo. L'unica nota negativa ( se così si puo dire) abbiamo dovuto aspettare un pò. Ma in complesso mi sono trovato bene , ci tornerei

08/06/2025: Interessantissimo l'antipasto molto ricco, ottime pappardelle al sugo di lepre e l'arrosto misto tenerissimo. Ottima esperienza.

08/01/2026: On the evening of January 4th, I went to this restaurant with my husband and 3-year-old son, who immediately took a liking to it. I wanted to emphasize the kindness, refinement, and helpfulness of the waiter and owner in explaining and bringing the dishes and drinks. The food was truly good: tagliatelle with wild boar in white sauce and mixed grilled meats, followed by a crema catalana.

05/01/2026: Tried it last night, good! Large portions, but nothing exceptional. High price!! Steak arrived lukewarm, polenta was excellent, and lamb was plentiful and delicious.

24/08/2025: I was there just yesterday, August 23, 2025, at 3:31 PM. A small, simple cherry cone and an ice cream biscuit, not fresh but packaged, for €7. I could have avoided them, but it was a request from my elderly mother. Overpriced. The Giolitti ice cream shop in Rome is much less expensive.

23/08/2025: Pizzas €10 each, or rather mini pizzas, a disgrace.

03/01/2026: Terrible experience. We went to this "restaurant" for lunch: four of us ordered two 1.2 kg slices of veal, 10 arrosticini, two small plates of potatoes, and two small plates of grilled vegetables. We waited an hour and a quarter (from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM) for the arrosticini. The meat arrived first, followed by the other slice a quarter of an hour later. At a table of four, we ate at different times. The potatoes arrived cold, but after we let him know, he brought us more, still cold. The owner was rude, never apologized, and even remained indifferent to our complaints, demanding payment and kicking us out.

01/01/2026: The food quality was very poor, the lamb was almost raw and there were no chops at all, and the quality/price ratio was terrible. We had a terrible experience, and we had to wait a long time. The fire was large but the grill was small, and the meat cooked slowly. Not recommended.

02/11/2025: We had a wonderful horseback ride with Gerardino, who made you feel at ease. Wonderful family-run business, they manage to convey their passion for animals. We'll definitely be back, great prices! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🔝

02/11/2025: I can't judge the quality of the food because I didn't eat. But the experience wasn't satisfactory. After the horseback ride, some of the group wanted to eat arrosticini, there were 10 of us in total. Only 4 of us ate. Only 4 people were seated; the rest were standing and had brought packed lunches since arrosticini weren't served. Those sitting at the table ordered arrosticini, beer, and a scamorza. The table wasn't set, and no glasses were brought. They were sitting on a picnic bench, but again, only 4 people were seated (also because only those 4 people could fit). A cover charge was charged for everyone. 6 people didn't use any service. The problem isn't the money; a 2 euro cover charge won't change anyone's life (we paid 20 euros cover charge, and 4 of us ate), but I don't think this is the right way to behave. Disappointing.

30/01/2026: Excellent treat for business dinners.

28/12/2025: The pizza was really of poor quality, the dough was half raw, I took a breath, the onion was not cooked, instead the bacon was burnt, also seeing the dishes of other people, the pizzas had also been left by others, even at other tables, slow service but at least the staff was polite, the place instead welcoming, the only flaw a little cold

09/11/2025: A small but very welcoming place, decorated with photos of the old Castello. The staff is friendly and ready to explain the various dishes on the menu. The chef is friendly and skilled. There's a wide selection of appetizers, including the cheese and egg balls. The menu also offers a decent selection of first courses, main courses, and side dishes. The wine list is good, especially the Montepulciano di Abruzzo, and the prices are average.

14/10/2025: A welcoming, rustic-style restaurant with beautiful photos and reproductions of paintings by Teofilo Patini. The food was well-prepared. The appetizers and arrosticini were excellent, but everything was delicious.

20/09/2025: Excellent food prepared on the spot, excellent family service, welcoming and clean environment, friendly chef

01/09/2025: This piadina shop was recommended to us by the owner of the hotel where we stayed. The piadina is excellent, prepared by the owner, who is truly talented. We also had amatriciana and carbonara, both freshly prepared and the best we've ever had. The charcuterie board was also delicious. The owner and his two daughters were incredibly welcoming. Excellent value for money. We'll be back!

08/09/2025: 7.50 for a measly sandwich, congratulations

06/09/2025: I recommend this restaurant both for the excellent food cooked by our friend Tony and for the wonderful welcome from Tiziana.
