Located next to one of the lovely church buildings (currently under re-construction after the devastating earth quake), and serving excellent food. We had two types of pasta, each of them prepared fresh and perfectly ‘al dente’ — plenty of fresh ingredients, and full of flavour. Same for the starter, a local specialty made to great taste. The interior of the place is beautiful, sitting outside on the terrace even better. Service is super friendly, much recommended.

The menu is only in Italian, a bonus, as we love playing ‘Russian Roulette’ on the menu and this means it’s not a touristy place. The food was delicious, good for the soul and the cold weather outside, we order the jug of house red wine and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is petit but beautifully decorated; while we were having our lunch, there was a large Christmas party, and it was lovely seeing how Italians celebrate it; there was singing, lots of laughs, speeches, charming atmosphere. Lovely team and well located in the centre of L’Aquila’s old quarter. We had a recommendation from Alessandro (Thank You) at Sextantio Albergo Diffuso Santo Stefano do Sessanio, located on the top of the mountains. Still, we’ve enjoyed driving to L’Aquila not only for our meal but to explore the city, the capital of Abruzzo.
