I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Isernia

27/09/2025: In the heart of Fornelli, a charming village in the province of Isernia, lies Mustache restaurant. From first glance, the restaurant captures your attention with its architecture, combining vaulted ceilings, red brick, local stone, and a charming terrace, creating a rustic yet elegant atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and helpful, but it's the cuisine that truly sets it apart. The spaghetti alla chitarra with porcini mushrooms is a sensory experience reminiscent of a walk in the woods after a rainy day, with fresh, intense flavors blending harmoniously. The appetizers offer unexpected surprises, such as the Genoese lamb arancini, a dish that combines delicacy and tradition, reminiscent of time-honored cuisine and authentic flavors. But it's with its pizzas that the restaurant truly expresses its creativity. The pizza with white eggplant is delicate yet bold, a balance of flavors that captivates. The pizza with mortadella and pistachio is a perfect combination, a timeless classic that is brought to life here. Finally, the pizza with croquettes, pistachio, prosciutto, and mozzarella is a true explosion of flavors and textures, where crunchiness and softness alternate for an unforgettable experience. In short, Mustache is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic, high-quality culinary experience in a unique atmosphere.

15/08/2025: We had lunch on August 15th with some friends and we had a great time. The food was excellent and the presentation of the dishes was exceptional.

17/08/2025: The restaurant doesn't offer fish dishes, as per the Google photos. The quality of the food is good, but it's a shame the owner was so quick to take your plate away while you were still eating. Not once, but twice. Sorry for the rude service.

15/08/2025: Local food of amazing quality, with regional specialties. Highly recommended

24/07/2026: Work dinner with colleagues. Nice place, it was a Tuesday night so it was almost deserted. A little strange, but we ended up eating very well. Excellent quality meat. They even offered me a free bruschetta since I hadn't ordered an appetizer like my other two colleagues. The value for money was also impressive!!!

25/06/2026: I had a sliced ​​steak with salt and rosemary, which was simply exquisite, both in terms of the quality of the product and the careful preparation of the cut. I could taste the rosemary alongside the warm fragrance of the tender, delicious meat.

21/01/2026: A beautiful restaurant and delicious local specialties. I highly recommend visiting the area and enjoying a meal at Altavia ❤️

04/01/2026: The place has reopened under new management. The woman is very talented and friendly, offering perfect suggestions and always smiling. The food is truly excellent at a more than fair price. The homemade liqueur is also excellent. Highly recommended, especially for the stunning location.

15/04/2026: Always a great place to eat and sleep

24/03/2026: It has a strategic location and ample parking. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Special mention goes to Mr. Biagio, the night porter and breakfast attendant: he is kind and helpful beyond his duties, and his attention to detail in resolving some issues related to a very late arrival made my stay even more pleasant.

05/04/2026: Ottimo bar, con buoni aperitivi e molto altro. Anche la parte ricevitoria e tabacchi molto fornita

02/04/2026: Good evening, Hotel Dora is a retro hotel, rooms are 1980s-style, and the restaurant service is terrible. While we were having dinner, the chef came out to sit at a table with friends, so cleanliness, hygiene, etc. are a concern. Not to mention that the waiter comes out for a smoke between courses and then brings your food. In addition to the menu, we asked for another course, and he promptly replied: "It costs you €20 more per person." Speechless.

08/02/2026: I had lunch at the hotel bistro. The dishes were simple and well-prepared. The wait staff was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely recommended.

07/09/2025: Very characteristic place. I recommend it.

31/08/2025: A place to forget, for the food and the service. From the little we managed to eat, even trying, our digestions were blocked that afternoon. My partner and I, on August 28th, ordered a beef tagliata and a plate of tagliolini with mushrooms. The tagliata, in our opinion, was mutton and was overcooked. When we mentioned this to the owner, he told us it was a special Argentine meat, and regarding the cooking, he said they no longer knew how to regulate it because the place was frequented by Belgians and French, who wanted it rare. We were speechless. The meat left on the plate, even though we love eating it, out of curiosity, we took it to a trusted butcher, who jokingly told us it could have been 'dog'... but then assured us it was mutton. No comment. As for the tagliolini with mushrooms, they were floating in half a plate of raw oil, which created a nasty, tasteless white mush with the flour from the mushrooms themselves. The mushrooms were inedible! This is what two gourmets wrote. Despite our complaints, the owner made no attempt to make amends.

30/11/2025: Unfortunately, it was a disappointment; nothing typical. Food and cuisine were soulless and tasteless. Sad location.

10/11/2025: We stopped by for lunch following our experience on the Trans-Siberian Railway in Abruzzo and found this simple-looking restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who informed us that there was a fixed menu for 25 euros that day. Although I'm not a fan of fixed menus, I was glad we stayed. The food was good, not overdone with oils or spices like many others. We had delicious handmade potato gnocchi! The meat, scamorza, and everything else were delicious. But the real difference is undoubtedly Adriano, always with a word or a joke to make guests feel at home, but without ever being intrusive. Fantastic! Thank you, Adriano, and we hope to return to your restaurant soon.
