Excellent. Say what you like, Italians simply know how to prepare meat — and this is another feast one should definitely try. All the meat is served on small skewers, freshly grilled and wrapped into an aluminium foil for serving in a clay pot. Makes for a great way to serve it, and you’d be looked at when using fork and knife .. just do as they do by slipping the meat cubes off the skewer directly with your teeth. The meat is juicy throughout, we had some lamb and liver .. and it was an excellent choice. Combine that with some grilled or steamed vegetables and you’ll be just fine, round it off with wine or beer from the region. Service is friendly, the owner very proud about his creations .. and he should be, don’t miss out on them!

Really nice experience - super friendly waiters and I liked the options of arrosticini. All food was really good. It's also possible to buy the Abruzzo liquer Genziana and Ratafia. Grazie e saluti da repubblica Ceca 🙂

We went to have a pleasant and delicious dinner there, but it was not what we were expecting.

First of all, they had just two hamburgers in their menu, but didn't serve one!

We had Arostocini; I truly believe that if I buy some from a supermarket and cook at home, it would be much better! I shared the pictures of one Arostocini (as an example) where one side is overcooked and the other side hasn't met any fire! Most of them had this problem (so much disappointing).

Moreover, the 'Arostocini di Vino' was too dry (in my opinion, they should use a little fat between the meat pieces). The 'Arostocini di Angus' had something inside that I couldn't chew (a kind of solid fat).

One of the glasses was dirty inside (I even told the waiter about it).

The middle of the bread was not cooked well; you could understand the taste of dough (if you have a sensitive taste).

They used a spray to clean the next table in the middle of our meals whose smell wasn't pleasurable!

Good points: The appetizer was very good with very delicious jams. The staff was so nice. Tiramisu was delicious. Also, they don't give all of your orders simultaneously; instead, they bring every 10 Arostocini separately; hence you can enjoy a hot meal.

I've been in a evening for dinner. Here I ate the best arrosticini in the town center. Also, I had an amazing mix of cheese, which I never ate before. The staff were very polite and friendly and we didn't waited too long for them to come. I'm not drinker but I tasted very nice drinks there. I knew only about limoncello before. But they have a lot more nice liqueurs

Despite the fact that the waitress told us that handmade arrosticini and some types of pasta weren’t available, it was an excellent experience.
The gricia was exquisite: it seamed a little portion, but was sufficient for my hunger. The tiramisù was excellent and the white chocolate panna cotta was wow. In the end, they offered us some local digestive liquors: it was appreciated.

Great food and service. The waiter went out of her way to accommodate our big group. We had a great assortment of antipasto, agostini and desert and finished with digestives.

Great food and attention to detail throughout the entire service.
I've been to many restaurants and bars in L'Aquila, but this was the best experience I've ever had.

Good arrosticini and service. The place is correct because it lacks a bit of personality.

But overall we had a nice dinner and a wonderful Genziana at the end.
