The 10 best cheap eats in Sulmona

Arrived in sulmona on a very hot day, no one. Was at our b/b Daniela the owner of the pizza shop, was super helpful and stayed open for us until the owner of the b/b arrived, to top it off the pizza was amazing!!! So tasty/fresh and a great price, we recommend this place to anyone, Carmel and Mario. (Australia)

Nice staff, owner is a really nice lady. The food is delicious and has tons of variety. A definite stop for pizza lovers

The best pizza in sulmona! Great prices for a awesome, fresh made pizza. The service is always friendly and happy to help you.

Great pizza! Low cost! And warm service... fully recommended for a short time lunch

(Translated by Google) What an exceptional pizza! You can see that here they put passion into what they do, and what's more they are very kind and always with a smile on their faces. My advice, if you come for dinner or call to have a table held for you or arrive early, because then it will be crowded! We will certainly return before leaving Sulmona (Original) Che pizza eccezionale! Si vede che qui ci mettono passione in quello che fanno, e in più sono gentilissime e sempre con il sorriso sulle labbra. Consiglio mio, se venite per cena o telefonate per farvi tenere un tavolo oppure arrivare prestino, perché poi viene presa d'assalto! Di sicuro ci torniamo prima di lasciare Sulmona

(Translated by Google) My husband and I had the pleasure of stopping for a lunch break during a short trip. Friendly and courteous staff. Ate a super first course. And the owner then gave us good advice to continue our motorbike trip: go to Scanno. Worth seeing. So I recommend stopping at this place to taste the delicious dishes and for the friendliness of the owner (Original) Io e mio marito abbiamo avuto il piacere di fermarci per pausa pranzo durante una breve gita. Personale cordiale e cortese. Mangiato un primo piatto super. E la Titolare ci ha poi dato un buon consiglio per continuare la nostra gita in moto: andare in località Scanno. Da vedere. Quindi consiglio di sostare presso questo locale per assaggiare i buonissimi piatti e per la simpatia della titolare

(Translated by Google) Objectively it's good for a quick lunch or for a pizza by the slice. I give two stars just for this instead of one star. I went for dinner: non-existent service despite the good will of the waitress. Total disorganization for two round (and half burnt) pizzas I waited almost an hour. Disproportionate price for the quality of the food I ate and the service received. (Original) Oggettivamente va bene per un pranzo veloce o per una pizza al taglio. Dò due stelle solo per questo anziché una stella. Sono stato a cena: servizio inesistente nonostante la buona volontà della cameriera. Disorganizzazione totale per due pizze rotonde (e mezze bruciate) ho aspettato quasi un ora. Prezzo spropositato per la qualità del cibo che ho mangiato e del servizio ricevuto.

Great food, great service and very tasty. We had 3 sandwiches with ham and salami and the ingredients were fresh and taste. The Gluten Free sandwiches were tasty.

One of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever tried, fresh ingredients and really good combinations of flavors. Friendly staff and great location, you can eat it outside in the historical town centre. Btw, if you are looking for an english menu, there is no need to take a picture of the Italian one and translate with Google like we did, when you enter the bistro, just turn around and there is an English menu on the wall behind you. :) We highly recommend to try the sandwiches and will definitely come back if we visit Sulmona in the future. 5/5 ⭐️🥪

I was touring from Canada and me and my friends decided to stop at this fine sandwich establishment. This was the best sandwich I ever had in my life. For only 5€, you can get a whole footlong sandwich loaded with meat. Upon finishing my sandwich, I was left with a sense of awe, and my mouth felt as if it was experiencing the best meal ever. The staff were also very helpful and spoke english. Anyone who is looking for an amazing lunch or dinner, maybe even breakfast would enjoy this very much.

This place is amazing. I was overwhelmed by the number of options available, but luckily the nice lady behind the counter gave her recommendation, and oh man, she did recommend. In most cases I am cautious with prosciuto crudo, but it was somehow easy to bite into, and the lemon-infused olive oil with the combination of Parmeggiano Reggiano, excellent. Really. Thank you! P.s. the music was great (some alter-metal-rock. Nice one :D ).

I had the campotosto and the parmigiana here while in sulmona. Both absolutely amazing and fresh, with bread lightly toasted to perfection. If I lived here I’d make it a point to try all 30 or so sandwiches on their menu, but alas…

No seating. But excellent take away sandwiches, and great value!

Delicious! You can choose suggested sandwiches or made it on your own. Excellent quality of ingredients.

Must visit!! We enjoyed two delicious pizzas and German beer for dinner. The pizza crust was light and crispy, just the way we like it. For dessert we enjoyed a chocolate volcano cake filled with pistacchio cream and a panna cotta topped with berry compote. Our waitress, Teresa, spoke perfect English (once she discovered we were American). The staff were all friendly and efficient. The ambiance is warm and cozy. There is a stage for live music as well. We will definitely add this pizzeria to our list of places to return to and recommend to friends visiting this lovely area.

Best pizza I’ve found so far, wood burning oven, pizza is so light and airy, fresh toppings, good service.

we came with 9 people. all the pizzas were served extremely fast and we all enjoyed them a lot. also great music was playing so 5stars for the atmosphere!

Not impressed, went out of desperation. Never again. Overpriced, and average at best.

Service was authentic, we don’t speak Italian so there will always be some difficulties. Atmosphere is amazing because you’re in the middle of Italian culture. Food was just incredible nice anti-pasti, amazing pizza

Excellent pizza and service. I don't know if their standard policy allows dogs in the restaurant, but they were very kind to allow our 2 small dogs to accompany us. We found this pizzeria by chance while staying at a nearby b&b.

Perfect pizza, absolute bliss! And I've been to Napoli many times, yes. The part that I loved as much though was the choice of "birre artigianale". Highly recommended! Great service too

Great place tucked away across the big square. Really positive atmosphere and quite clean. Check it out. Music could be better for the 5th star :)

Great service and awesome music!!!

Great burgers, and wonderful draft beer. My new go-to place in Sulmona!

A magnificent time portal into the beat days of your life!

It is a nice place to go i loved it😍😍😍😍

Fast, good and lovely beers

Bellp

The food was amazing. Staff was very friendly even though I don't speak a single word Italian. Loved the atmosphere.

My Italian is not that good but they treated me like a local. The carpacio was delicious, followed by calamari, that I'm sure we're swimming that day. Dulce was cheesecake with caramel. Not expensive.

For all of you that enjoy hamburgers this is the place. The menu is well prepared with traditional Italian and a splash of hamburger and a good sort of wines. I would highly recommend RetroGusto. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Tasty dishes. Generous portions. Relaxed atmosphere. Pity that the staff didn't know the price of the dishes on their menu. Had to correct three dishes on the bill.

Gorgeous food, lovely twist on pizza. Great antipasti and amazing pasta. And just lovely beers. Staff were incredibly nice and welcoming and the venue is just fab. If you're looking for something beyond the run of the mill pizze then this is your place. They do burgers too. Highly recommend.

While we were ordering our meal we asked for quick service due to short time of our stay at the restaurant ( 30min). Apetizer was ready in 10 min, but after 30 minutes we had to ask for take away rest of our order. After 10 min we received our meal but without any forks. So we could eat it when we arrived at home after 2 hours. Food was tasteless.

Travelled the world & had hundreds of burgers in many countries. We ate there tonight...not the cheapest place n Abruzzo but definitely in my top 10 of all burgers!! Fresh meat, home made rolls, fresh salad & great chips with individual sauces. Highly recommended

Delicious calzone, cozy place

Very good

(Translated by Google) Good pizza, the staff was extremely courteous....they found us a seat even though we booked 2 hours before sitting down (obviously at the time they said, but that's okay). The staff was always smiling and available to carry out all our requests. Clean place, ample parking. (Original) Pizza buona,il personale è stato estremamente cortese....ci hanno trovato un posto anche se abbiamo prenotato 2 ore prima di sederci ( ovviamente nell'orario che dicevano loro,ma ci sta). Il personale è sempre stato sorridente e disponibile ad eseguire tutte le nostre richieste. Locale pulito, ampio parcheggio.

(Translated by Google) Really a nice place! The outside seems perfect for summer evenings, tables not too close together to be able to talk in peace! Friendly staff! We took the pizza, really very good, light! The potatoes in their skin are excellent and the presentation of the dessert is truly original!!! Excellent value for money (Original) Davvero un bel posto! L esterno per le serate d estate sembra perfetto, tavoli non troppo vicini per poter parlare in tranquillità! Personale gentile! Abbiamo preso la pizza, davvero molto buona, leggera! Ottime le patate con la buccia è davvero originale la presentazione del dolce!!! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

(Translated by Google) The location isn't particularly pretentious, but the food and service are excellent. The setting is truly beautiful, with a generous appetizer, but the best are the arrosticini, including the liver ones. Highly recommended. (Original) Location senza grosse pretese ma cibo e servizio ottimi. Piazza veramente buona, antipasto ricchissimo ma il top sono gli arrosticini, compreso quelli di fegato. Consigliatissimo

(Translated by Google) Where are we going for dinner on Sunday evening? Let's try the kiosk... Nice surprise, the guys know how to do it! The restaurant, equipped with ample parking, has outdoor tables for warm summer evenings and comfortable and welcoming internal rooms. The menu is complete for adults and children... pizzas and fried pizzas that are too good, hand-cut artisanal kebabs worthy of the most demanding palates, and also excellent desserts for those with a sweet tooth. 👏All accompanied by attentive and courteous service. 🍺🍕Well done 5 stars (Original) Domenica sera dove si va a cena? Proviamo il chioschetto... Bella sorpresa, i ragazzi ci sanno fare! Il locale dotato di ampio parcheggio dispone di tavoli all'aperto per le serate calde estive e sale interne comode e accoglienti. Il menù è completo per grandi e piccini... pizze e pizzette fritte troppo buone, arrosticini artigianali tagliati a mano degni dei palati più esigenti, ed anche dolci ottimi per i più golosi. 👏Il tutto corredato da un servizio attento e cortese. 🍺🍕Bravi 5 stelle

(Translated by Google) The place is very nice, it was really nice outside during the summer evenings, the staff was very kind and attentive. We ordered the pizza, honestly it seemed too moist to be cooked in a wood oven, I can't say it was raw, honestly I have no idea why, but it could have been eaten but I wasn't crazy about it, maybe we should try it again. (Original) Il posto è molto carino, veramente si stava molto bene fuori durante le serate estive, il personale molto gentile e attento. Noi abbiamo ordinato la pizza, sinceramente ci ha sembrato troppo umida per essere cotta al forno a legna, non posso dire che era cruda, sinceramente la motivazione non ho idea, comunque si poteva mangiare però non mi ha fatto impazzire, forse è da riprovare.

The hours on Google are incorrect giving impression it's open midday, but it's not. Terrible experience!

Very good pizza

Nice local place with good food

Excellent pizza for a decent price!

(Translated by Google) The pizza is mostly good in all its variations. It is sold "by the piece" and this method would be acceptable if the "pieces" were cut by someone with a minimum of geometric sense... I'm not saying a surveyor with Autocad but at least someone with a clear sense of lines and measurements! All this (over the top) to say that the method adopted in other pizzerias (for example the Alice Pizza chain) would be much more reassuring in that, upon sale, the piece is weighed so you know exactly what you are about to buy... At La Bodeguita, however, you always need a bit of luck! (Original) La pizza è perlopiù buona in tutte le sue varianti. Viene venduta "al pezzo" e questa modalità sarebbe accettabile se a tagliare "i pezzi" fosse qualcuno dotato di un minimo di senso geometrico... non dico un geometra con Autocad ma almeno qualcuno col senso accennato delle linee e delle misure! Tutto questo ( sopra le righe ) per dire che sarebbe molto più rassicurante la modalità adottata in altre pizzerie ( ad esempio la catena Alice Pizza ) che ,alla vendita ,il pezzo lo pesa per cui si sa esattamente cosa si sta per acquistare...Alla Bodeguita, invece, occorre sempre un po' di fortuna!

(Translated by Google) The pizza by the slice was good. I admit it was late, but the lady who served me was really annoyed. Plus, when we went outside to eat, they turned off the lights and cleared away the only table there, just to let us know we had to leave. It's absurd. I wanted to point out the time in the photo. (Original) La pizza al taglio buona. Ammetto che era tardi ma la signora che mi ha servito era molto scocciata in più quando siamo usciti fuori per mangiare hanno spento le luci e l'unico tavolo che c'era l'hanno tolto, proprio a farci capire che dovevamo andare via, assurdo. Volevo far notare l'orario dalla foto.

(Translated by Google) I'm 50 years old and a pizza fanatic, and I can tell you, I've never had pizza this good! Congratulations! (Original) Ho 50 anni e sono un fanatico della pizza, e vi dico che una pizza così buona non l’ho mai mangiata! Complimenti!

I will say that I am a bit bias in liking this pizzeria. I was one of the English teachers that had recently been teaching in schools in Sulmona, and on our first day teaching, the owner's daughter (if I am correct in my limited understanding of Italian) asked me and my classmates for our coffee order to welcome us to Sulmona, and to teaching her and class. When we tried to decline, she insisted on it! It made us feel so welcomed and really was one of the highlights of our experience there. We made a point to go there during our breaks in the days that followed. The coffee was very well priced, and the pizza was wonderful. While the tea was too expensive for my liking, (€3.50), I would factor that to it being a predominately coffee drinking country, instead of tea drinking one. My classmates were able to enjoy their espresso for just over €1.00. While I won't say the owners daughter's name, this message is to her: Thank you so much for welcoming us to your town, and school, and for you and your classmates being wonderful students.

Nice :)

Visited for a early lunch Asked if they cooked fresh pizza. They said they would, but after 45 min wait served 2 slices from the counter, which were pretty average A good thing we had beer

Top

(Translated by Google) Unique pizza and high-level desserts. However, the prices of pizza by the slice are quite high, a piece of margherita costs €1.80. Nothing to say about the desserts, good from every point of view (€3). (Original) Pizza unica e dolci di alto livello. Tuttavia i prezzi della pizza al trancio sono abbastanza alti, un pezzo di margherita viene 1,80 €. Nulla da dire sui dolci, buoni sotto ogni punto di vista (3 €).

(Translated by Google) I was in this place tonight for an aperitif. Welcoming atmosphere, competent and professional staff, truly superlative quality of food and wine.... An absolute guarantee for 3 generations!!! (Original) Sono stato in questo locale stasera per un aperitivo. Ambiente accogliente, personale competente e professionale, qualità del cibo e del vino davvero superlativa.... Una garanzia assoluta da 3 generazioni !!!

(Translated by Google) unfortunately you can't give zero stars....1 vegetarian pizza to take away, 2 slices of margherita, 1 small tomato-only pizza to take away (I still haven't understood why they made it small since I had asked for a normal pizza to take away....which is already small), a small packaged biscuit....€18.40....to be avoided like the plague (Original) purtroppo non si possono dare zero stelle....1 pizza vegetariana da asporto, 2 tranci di margherita, 1 pizzetta solo pomodoro piccola da asporto (non ho ancora capito perché l'hanno fatta piccola visto che avevo chiesto una normale pizza da asporto....che è già piccola di suo), un piccolo biscotto confezionato....18.40€....da evitare come la peste

(Translated by Google) Everything was delicious, from the pizza to the arancini. Top quality raw materials. Kind and friendly managers. (Original) Tutto buonissimo, dalla pizza agli arancini. Materie prime di prima qualità. Gestori gentili e simpatici.

(Translated by Google) I find pizza of any type excellent, as well as the house specialties. The parmesan pizza is very good. Excellent value for money and a fast home service!!! Well done in everything!!! (Original) Trovo ottima la pizza di qualsiasi tipo, oltre che le specialità della casa. Buonissima la pizza alla parmigiana. Eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo e un veloce servizio a domicilio!!! Bravi in tutto!!!

(Translated by Google) We took a maxi pizza with 4 flavors: diavola, margherita, sausage and potatoes and garden. We ate with 4 people but I would have happily eaten it alone. The pizza has a pronounced crust just like I like it and is crunchy. Furthermore the service is very friendly. If we return on holiday it will be a fixed stop (Original) Abbiamo preso una pizza maxi 4 gusti: diavola, margherita, salsiccia e patate e garden. Abbiamo mangiato in 4 persone ma me la sarei mangiata volentieri solo io. La pizza ha un cornicione pronunciato proprio come piace a me ed è croccante. Inoltre il servizio è molto cordiale. Se ritorneremo in vacanza sarà una tappa fissa

(Translated by Google) Excellent! You can never go wrong with them for a good pizza. We have always had a good time both for the kindness and for the goodness of the pizzas, always well cooked and for their many delicacies. Deliveries always on time. (Original) Ottima ! Da loro non si sbaglia mai per una buona pizza. Ci siamo sempre trovati bene sia per la gentilezza che per la bontà delle pizze sempre ben cotte e per le loro tante sfiziosità. Consegne sempre puntuali .

(Translated by Google) Normal pizza, some delicious pistachio variations, I didn't try the arancini. Very sad note, the prices! 1 slice of frankfurter and potatoes - 1 slice with mozzarella and aubergines - 2 half donuts (this was the shape and size) rocket, mozzarella and tomato. 4 pieces 10 euros. For ten euros you can get a mixed maxi in other city venues of equal quality. What can I say, while it lasts, just let me know that after opening their wallets, customers also open their eyes. (Original) Pizza nella norma, alcune sfiziose varianti al pistacchio, non ho assaggiato gli arancini. Nota dolentissima, i prezzi! 1 trancio wurstel e patate - 1 trancio con mozzarella e melanzane - 2 mezze ciambelle ( la forma e la misura questa era) rucola mozzarella e pomodoro. 4 pezzi 10 euro. Con dieci euro prendi una maxi mista in altri locali cittadini di pari qualità. Che dire, finché vi dura, solo che sappiatelo i clienti dopo aver aperto il portafogli, aprono pure gli occhi.

(Translated by Google) I think it's unthinkable to order two gluten-free pizzas and pay €19.50, plus the size of the pizza is really bad. Furthermore, ordering a sausage and chips pizza and finding boiled potatoes instead of normal chips. (Original) Credo sia impensabile ordinare due pizze senza glutine e pagare 19,50€, inoltre la grandezza della pizza è davvero pessima. Oltretutto ordinare una pizza wurstel e patatine e trovare le patate lesse invece delle patatine normali.

(Translated by Google) Regular customer now!! Delicious pizza and everything else too! Always friendly staff! (Original) Cliente fissa ormai!! Pizza buonissima ed anche tutto il resto! Personale sempre gentile!

Delicious pizza in good price... Friendly staff

Poor food and expensive, owner not interested on comments. Only interested in the money.

Good pizza low prices and friendly staff

Small place good food

I love it

(Translated by Google) “Courtesy from another era” It's really nice to enter a place and receive this welcome. The owners are attentive to every customer need. The environment seems like that of a Roman Hostaria, familiar and with genuine and tasty food, like the unbeatable dishes of the past prepared by our grandmothers. The pizza is really good, I recommend it. It is a Neapolitan pizza but keeps the bottom slightly crunchy, similar to that of the Roman Pizza. This makes it even better in my opinion. We tried the Contadina and Mushrooms and Truffle, to the latter I added sausage. Specials!!! (Original) “Cortesia d’altri tempi” È davvero bello entrare in un locale e ricevere questa accoglienza. I titolari sono attenti ad ogni esigenza del cliente. L’ambiente sembra quello di una Hostaria romana, familiare e con cibi genuini e saporiti, come gli imbattibili piatti del passato preparati delle nostre nonne. La pizza è davvero buona, la consiglio. È una pizza napoletana ma mantiene il fondo leggermente croccante, simile a quello della Pizza Romana. Questo la rende a mio parere ancora più buona. Abbiamo provato la Contadina e là Funghi e tartufo, a quest’ultima ho fatto aggiungere la salsiccia . Speciali !!!

(Translated by Google) We were looking for a quiet little corner, we came across this good little restaurant which offers excellent pizza with Neapolitan-style dough, I highly recommend it. (Original) Nous cherchions un petit coin tranquille , nous sommes tombés sur ce bon petit restaurant qui propose d'excellentes pizza avec une pâte a la Napolitaine je vous conseil vivement.
