I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in L'aquila

02/07/2026: Neapolitan Pizza in Gallipoli! Found by chance during our visit to Gallipoli for the Feast of the Madonna del Canneto, this is a true Neapolitan pizzeria, where the art of dough-making and perfect cooking in a wood-fired oven are evident in every bite. The welcome was excellent: the staff was immediately friendly and extremely helpful, managing everything flawlessly despite the rush of the celebration. The menu offers a huge variety of pizzas. The product is impeccable: a light, airy crust, a highly digestible dough, and fresh, top-quality ingredients. To top it all off, an excellent quality/price ratio, decidedly fair for the quality offered and the location. We'll be back!

02/07/2026: The quality/price ratio is non-existent, the prices are exaggerated for what is actually served.

26/06/2026: Unparalleled views and traditional Abruzzo fare, especially the polenta, masterfully prepared in various versions. The service was courteous and prompt. The bill, in my opinion, was slightly above average, but the exclusive location and the undeniable culinary quality justify the expense. I highly recommend it if you're near Sulmona.

18/06/2026: We spent a beautiful, quiet evening, and everything was very good, a kindness never seen before, then we witnessed the cutting of the polenta, and the poetry of the owner, the polenta, I recommend it to everyone, a beautiful experience and foodTop

03/05/2026: Delicious homemade food, a selection of top-quality cured meats. Exceptional, friendly, and welcoming service. Thank you to Gigi and her family for their hospitality. I especially loved the zabaglione dessert, the most delicious dessert I've had in two years in Italy… pure bliss! A house with a garden and spectacular views.

19/04/2026: Five stars is an understatement, they deserve 10❤️

06/06/2026: The hospitality and authenticity of the food are unparalleled. The location is very scenic, overlooking the mountains. Well-connected. I recommend arrosticini and Cinto Senese cutlets. The gentian rosolio is also good. If you pass through L'Aquila, it is a must to stop and eat. Excellent.

31/05/2026: Great welcome, excellent food, the arrosticini in particular were really excellent

19/07/2026: A hidden gem. Beautifully crafted dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Perfect choice of cheeses.

13/07/2026: Really good food and very well priced for the qualify. The service was great and we would definitely return.

23/07/2026: A last-minute find just steps from the main square. Very friendly and fast staff, truly delicious food. Highly recommended!

12/07/2026: The food is excellent. Recommended

07/05/2026: Excellent food, excellent meat in general, good restaurant, you eat well and it's practically in the center

03/05/2026: A true osteria; don't expect a five-star atmosphere. But in my opinion, that's how it should be. The dishes reflect excellent tradition! Highly recommended.

02/06/2026: We decided to try this family-run restaurant and were truly thrilled. The place is charming, simple, and welcoming, with a genuine atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We ate wonderfully, using high-quality local products showcased in the best possible way. A special mention goes to the ravioli with sweet ricotta and sauce: they took me back in time, reminding me of the ones my grandmother used to make. They're also a typical dish in some towns in Basilicata, and finding the same authentic flavors was a wonderful surprise. The meat was also excellent, especially the local grilled lamb, truly tasty and cooked to perfection. And then the baked potatoes: it's reductive to call them just a side dish; they were something unique. The waiter explained that they are "di Secca" potatoes, grown on the Cinque Miglia plateau, and you could taste the quality of the ingredients. To conclude, we sampled the desserts, including an extraordinary farrozzo, a very interesting reinterpretation of the more famous parrozzo, which is absolutely worth a try. The staff was impeccable: friendly, sociable, and always available to share their passion for the region and its products. A place where you eat well, feel good, and leave wanting more. I highly recommend it! Kudos to the entire staff.

27/03/2026: What a wonderful discovery! During a heavy snowfall, we decided to drive a few kilometers further to check out all the positive reviews we'd read. Nestled in a small village alley, we finally found authentic cuisine in a notoriously touristy area where this is rare. The warm and friendly atmosphere, combined with simple yet exquisitely prepared dishes, careful selection of ingredients, and a warm welcome make this a must-visit for travelers interested in discovering the traditions of Abruzzo. We'll definitely be back.

26/04/2026: Hands down one of the best dinners I’ve ever had in Italy. You can have 6 courses of your own choice for 60 euros (mind you: not a fixed menu, and you get to choose whatever from the menu you’d like - that’s great service). We had a lovely tartare and asparagus as antipasti, duck ravioli as primo and two secondi: Lamb and cow. All of it was beautifully served, and all of the dishes were wonderfully balanced. The owner has worked in some of Copenhagen’s top restaurants - and it shows - while all of the dishes still manage to feel both local and authentically Italian. Thank you for this great experience. We will definitely be back if we ever find ourselves in Abruzzo again.

22/02/2026: Everything was excellent ✨ The vegetarian menu was incredibly good, and what about the kombucha? I think it was one of the best I've tried so far. We'll be back to try other good things.

27/06/2026: My wife and I had a lovely time here, even though there was a slight language barrier, google translate made the ordering food and engaging in a little conversation, quite easy. The food was gorgeous, the atmosphere and location perfect. Thank you to the ladies at La Sbarra.

26/06/2026: Excellent, recommended. I don't know about the prices; I was a guest.

11/06/2026: Really only for large appetites....MAX portions,

23/05/2026: Arriving in Fontecchio on our Celestine journey, we ate at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly; they were closing and gave us a chance to eat. Authentic dishes, from the first to the second course, generous portions and well-cooked. Excellent value. There were three of us: A plate of pecorino cheese, A portion of gnocchi with meat sauce, Two grilled chicken breasts, A plate of grilled vegetables and a plate of fries, and finally two amari. Water and house wine. Total bill €40. Highly recommended!

14/05/2026: Absolutely one of the best restaurants we tried during our stay in L'Aquila. Starting with the restaurant itself, it goes without saying that it's exquisite and carefully decorated. The owner is fantastic: knowledgeable, kind, and you can tell he loves his job. He puts so much passion into serving you. The dishes: each one better than the last, because in addition to being traditional, they feature top-quality, local ingredients, something you don't always find in small, village restaurants. Another positive note: the owner explains the origins of the products used in the kitchen and takes you on a culinary tour of the Abruzzo mountains. We recommend it to anyone who wants a real experience, beyond just a meal. WE WILL RETURN!!!

14/05/2026: A family atmosphere, carefully selected food, and authentic flavors. Prices are unbeatable, so we'll definitely be back!

18/01/2026: Intimate, minimalist, and elegant design. The maitre d' and the dining room staff create a simple yet warm atmosphere. Refined and original dishes, with Abruzzo roots clearly evident. Special mention goes to the tortello alla ventricina and the lamb, both of which are unbelievably tender.

03/01/2026: Terrible restaurant, reservation made two weeks ago, they called us an hour before dinner to cancel. Unprofessional, arrogant, and rude.

26/07/2026: Excellent. Top-quality local products. We loved the selection of Abruzzo wines, the service, the fried pizzas, and everything else, including the location, which is very local yet somewhat modern. We'll definitely be returning.

17/07/2026: Very good food, friendly staff, very nice location

20/07/2026: A sublime dinner! We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and had a wonderful time. Excellent food, friendly and knowledgeable staff, a refined atmosphere, and excellent prices. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

19/07/2026: Restaurant serving traditional local cuisine featuring wild boar truffles and high-quality mushrooms!
