The menu was via using QR code which seems to be the way. There was no English menu so you your Italian had to be not bad or use Google translate. However the waiter said he would help. The red wine and Prosecco by the glass was lovely. The anti-pasta along with the bread for starters was amazing, in fact I would have been happy just with that. I had a pasta dish, which was semi cold and not quite what I thought it was. My husband a pork dish. Not the best we have tasted in Italy, which was a shame.

When we were there it was only moderately busy and had none of the concerns about service that a previous reviewer had. Immaculately presented premises (with beautiful polished plaster walls), immaculate staff, and a friendly and welcoming attitude towards us non-Italian speakers. Our waiter made a great effort to help us with the menu, and every dish hit the mark. We argued whether the octopus was the best we've ever had (and we eat octopus at every opportunity), my rabbit was juicy, delicate and delicious, and my partner's entrecote was beautifully tender and tasty (one end of one piece was a little under a perfect medium, but I happily scoffed that, and that would be the only criticism). This is really top-end fine dining for the price of an average mid-range Italian meal. You must visit L'aquila as it is rising from reconstruction as we speak and once again becoming a thriving place of beauty. Not finished, but much is complete, lots of beautiful restoration work going on, and new shops, bars and restaurants opening every day. And when you visit L'aquila, you MUST eat at Connubio.
