Maria - L'AQUILA

Friends from Abruzzo took us to this place for an outdoor lunch after a morning at Gran Sasso. Wonderful variety of local dishes, all prepared and presented nicely at a good relaxed pace. The house white wine was excellent and the price was surprisingly modest. The owner visited briefly and was very welcoming. We couldn't have been more satisfied.

This restaurant is a jewel amidst a charming hiking village located in Gran Sasso National Park. The food was spectacular, fresh, tasty, great presentation! The wine selection of local Italian wines was perfect. The antipasti offerings were super delicious. I love the roasted zucchini’s in olive oil. The bruschetta of fresh tomatoes and olive oil was fresh and delicious. We ordered fettuccine with mushrooms and delicate sauce and ricotta stuffed ravioles in tomatoes sauce. For sweets we had a créame and fruits torte. Maria herself made sure we felt comfortable and happy! Great location, ambiance, happy people, servizio eccellente! Thanks Maria and your staff for creating a fun and healthy dinning experience. grazie mille!

Eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo. A pranzo, tornando dalla grande roccia, anche se era tardi ci hanno dato un tavolo e i tempi di attesa non erano lunghi. Gli gnocchi di tartufo e funghi porcini erano ottimi, così come gli arrosti ben cotti. La cucina è fatta in casa, quindi non aspettatevi piatti leggeri.

Grande esperienza, molto accogliente e locale davvero ottimo! Ci hanno servito un antipasto molto ricco e poi i primi e i secondi erano eccezionali. La signora Maria è molto gentile e ti fa sentire come a casa. Consigliato per tutte le occasioni.

Called in here for lunch today. 3 persons MotoTouring through Italy. We wanted a light lunch, some anti pasta’s to share, bruschetta’s and some beers. When we said that we didn’t want pasta or a main we were asked to leave the owner did not want to serve us. Never in Italy have we experienced such rude or inappropriate hospitality. I guess they made all their profits over the winter!
