Where to eat: the 13 best restaurants in Calascio

The pastas were some of the best simple pasta we’ve ever tasted in Italy. The house special guanciale and saffron pasta and the white amatriciana are not to be missed! House res wine was also very nice. Try to reserve a table, even in September, as we saw many people turned away!

Amazing date with splendid food! Am proud to have tried traditional Italian cuisine from this place! Waitress knew English and also helped us choose. Cannot recommend enough!

Eccellent quality, low prices and good service. The Amatriciana Bianca with guanciale and truffle was to die for! La Bettola di Geppetto is a picturesque restaurant, located inside an old stone house, which is also a great place to spend some time away from the heat of a local summer day. Santo Stefano di Sessanio is one of my favourite mountain villages in Abruzzo and I'll make sure to come back to La Bettola di Geppetto again in the future. I would recommend reserving a table as it is a small restaurant and it can get quite busy during high season.

World's best Panna Cotta! During our stay in Santo Stefano we tested almost every restaurant in town but La Bettola di Geppetto is by far the best one! We loved our dinners there! You can book a table online, the waiters are very friendly and speak excellent English. The menue is creative and the food is absolutely delicious. We especially loved the spinach in the veggy anti pasti dish, the safron pasta and the pistacchio panna cotta. Please try their desserts! They're so good. Also, the ambiance in the evening is super romantic with a breathtaking view over the mountains and candle lanterns all over the outside area. So gorgeous! Thank you so much for two wonderful evenings, La Bettola di Geppetto. 🙂

An amazing little place tucked away in the stunning village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio. We booked in as a family of four with two children aged 12 and 14. It was a small, quaint and rustic venue which felt traditional and homely. The menu was nice and simple which is nearly always a good sign! There were some good vegetarian options and some local specialities. We had the vegetarian starter which was very good indeed - we also had the pasta with bacon which was one of the nicest pasta dishes I have eaten, and the lentil soup which was hearty and flavoursome. The vegetarian ravioli was a hit too. The kids ate all of their food, and the adults thoroughly enjoyed theirs too. I should also mention the lovely local IPA I was recommended, which topped it all off nicely. Finally, the waiting staff were polite and full of smile and happy to explain the different menu options in English, which was very much appreciated as our Italian is not great! Top marks for a very memorable meal. It was very special indeed!

Cozy place, perfect for a winter evening, friendly and polite staff. The food is very simple, something that anyone could prepare at home. I saw that prices increased in the last years, probably due to the improved tourism. At the current level the ratio quality/price does not fit what you eat, a bit overpriced. Positive note, the arrosticini, very good. Please, do not get to the point of being a "taverna" with "restaurant" prices!

Honest, simple and very fairly priced cooking. Feels like you are in an Italian living room eating with extended family. We enjoyed the ricotta ravioli with tomato sauce, spaghetti with bacon and cream truffle sauce, and local lamb. Nice salad on the side too. Better than other local restaurants charging 2x the price! Not 5 stars because it’s not creative, or using the best ingredients - just simple and effective.

The location is fantastic.. And also the food quality. Samuele, one of the guys there, is incredible helpful for anything you needs. Isn't cheap but is very nice place..I suggested to go and try Saffron&Ricotta Fettuccini. And the dessert with Sheep's Ricotta and Saffron 👍🤩🥂

Very nice restaurant with rooms. Friendly staff and very good food. First time eating trippa fritta.

Very nice restaurant! Great service, excellent food. We ate here twice and it was amazing!!! Very much recommend 💖

This review is just for the restaurant and not for the b&b. We had dinner here and they were told that one of us was vegetarian. They accommodated this very well including the chef's complimentary starter. Service was very good and food was also decent. Gnocchi was not as good but they made it was vegetarian sauce instead of ragu. Their tiramisu was very nice and so was the tea. All in all worth a visit for dinner if your are in sextantio area.

We called in for a beer and to use the WiFi, so we could look for a place to stay. We stayed for dinner, bed and breakfast. Great hospitality, fantastic cooking from a passionate chef, good english spoken to help us understand the regional menu. The room was fantastic and the breakfast really good.

I loved this B&B, it was perfect! My family and I got two rooms here. They were spacious, clean, and the shower actually closed and didn't leak water everywhere (rare in Europe). It's surrounded by the mountains and was beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. We needed to check out before breakfast started on our last day so they put it out 30 minutes earlier than usual-much appreciated! We ate at the hotel restaurant on our last night and it was busy, even on a Monday night. The food there was delicious too. I got the sheep stew which is a departure from my normal cuisine but I wanted to try something different and I'm glad I did-it was delicious. The price at the hotel was very affordable. Next time I come to Abruzzo I will definitely be staying here.

Amazing food and the staff is so nice!!!

Absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed the menu a lot! Not too much cheese which was also great for us vegans. Andrea is a very friendly and English speaking host. His wife Barbara is a great Chef. Very special courses from local products.

It's a hidden gem in the center of one of the most unbelievable little towns you can imagine, Sessanio. A gastronomic journey, or should I say a "passeggiata" through the delicious fresh homemade food and veggies prepared directly by the host and his wife, 2 adorable people. Creativity, authenticity, and flavor for a long vegetarian dinner in a warm, romantic room with just 4 tables. The atmosphere is quiet, Andrea will magically introduce every dish with a soft, calm voice, but the food speaks loudly about the ability of the chef Barbara. Incredible experience. Book in advance. Fixed price and menu.

WOW! What a vegeterian food journey! Thank you Andrea e Barbara not only for the great and various dishes you prepared and presented with love. It was like being at home ❤️ all products used are fresh and from the area! Such an insoiring couple for this lovely vegeterian restaurant.

Most magical meal in Abruzzo! Andrea and Barbara are the kindest, most wonderful people you will meet if you’re lucky enough to dine in their restaurant!

Amazing find! We stumbled in exactly at the right time for lunch by serendipity. The place is very small with only four tables, so I recommend to book in advance if you do not want to rely on luck. The owner, Andrea, is a bit crazy in the best possible way. He is so in love with the area, its food - and his wife who is an excellent cook. For every of the about ten courses of the set vegetarian menu he explained (in Italian and English) where the ingredients came from and what makes them special. Often, he harvested fruits and herbs himself, or knows the farmers very well. The food was very good and full of different flavours, due to spices, herbs and good ingredients. I am not a vegetarian, but I didn't miss anything. Finally, the price of 39€ for so many dishes, including a good local wine, and a true private dining experience is more than fair. Good luck with your restaurant, Andrea & Barbara, I hope to come back one day!

A very special dining experience. Andrea and Barbara are clearly very passionate about sharing their food, and they can tell you exactly where almost all of ingredients come from. The food was delicious, service and atmosphere were excellent and it was very reasonably priced for all of the amazing food and wine you get. The restaurant is small so you should call ahead for reservations. Thanks Andrea and Barbara for a memorable evening!

Great display of locally & own grown produce from the area. A vegetarian degustation to delight even the carnivores. Highly recommended.

Suggestive place, service was a bit slow and we expected a bit more from the food. Pappardelle ai funghi were flavorless, same as lentils soup. The dessert (tart with marmalade: crostata) instead were very delicious.

Amazing food and atmosphere! The host was really nice and friendly! If you are around, I highly recommend this place!

This restaurant serves authentic Abruzzese food made from high-quality ingredients. A humble and gentile man does the cooking and the serving. The tomatoes are deep red and sweet. The basil is freshly picked and aromatic. The salumi is homemade and intense. The cheese is fresh and creamy. The pork was tender and moist and properly served with salad to cut the fat. You will leave satisfied and shocked at the reasonable price. Don’t miss this diamond in the rough of Santo Stefano di Sessanio.

I walked in just after it opened at 8 PM. There were two tables with people at them. I had made a reservation. There was one table with one place set for me. I assumed I sat down two more groups, walked down and sat down and got water and wine and I got nothingI consider that rudeness and not to be tolerated

A total steal, bad food and we ordered 3 arrosticini and they brought 30!! For two people! And the waitress says that we ordered that, Never come to this place if don’t want to be scammed

Really delicious food. We had the pasta with Ragu and grilled lamb chops, very tasty!

Good foods, friendly services...authentic

Panini Bread was very dense and dry.

(Translated by Google) Literally nestled in a narrow street in Santo Stefano del Sessanio, it is a special place for a quick snack based on local cured meats and cheeses. Good list of Abruzzo wines to taste in the cave. Yes, there is a cave where you can have a snack in the cool. A little claustrophobic but nothing to worry about. (Original) Incastonato letteralmente in una stradina di Santo Stefano del Sessanio, è un luogo speciale per una merenda veloce a base di salumi e formaggi locali. Buona lista di vini abruzzesi da degustare in Grotta. Si c’è una grotta dove poter stare a far merenda al fresco. Un po’ claustrofobico ma niente di preoccupante.

(Translated by Google) A truly wonderful place in one of Italy's most beautiful villages! We literally savoured mouth-watering platters, featuring a wide variety of products, all of which were of excellent quality, refined, and tasteful in their presentation. We found the cool air wonderful for this summer, a warm welcome for us and our furry friend, and spectacular prices, just like their craft beers! Professional, attentive staff who welcome you with a smile and make you feel at home! Coffee, pastries included, and the option to take away truly authentic, artisanal products! Highly recommended, thank you so much. Keep up the good work, see you soon! We're planning our next visit to return with family and friends! Thank you so much for everything! Alessandra, Fabrizio, and Zeus (Original) Posto a dir poco meraviglioso in uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia! Taglieri gustosi da leccarsi i baffi li abbiamo letteralmente spazzolati con una grande varietà di prodotti e ottima qualità e ricercatezza e gusto nella presentazione. Abbiamo trovato il fresco meraviglioso in questo periodo estivo, tanta accoglienza per noi e il nostro pelosotto con prezzi spettacolari come le loro birre artigianali! Personale professionale, attento, che ti accoglie con un sorriso e ti fa sentire a casa! Caffè, dolcetti inclusi e possibilità di portare via davvero dei prodotti genuini e artigianali! Consigliatissimo grazie di cuore continuate così a presto stiamo pianificando la prossima data per tornare numerosi insieme a familiari ed amici! Grazie infinite di tutto! Alessandra e Fabrizio e Zeus

(Translated by Google) Small shop with typical products located in Santo Stefano di Sessanio in Abruzzo. Possibility to eat sandwiches, scones and mixed platters accompanied by good wine and craft beers. (Original) Piccola bottega con prodotti tipici situata a santo Stefano di sessanio in Abruzzo. Possibilità di mangiare panini,focaccine e taglieri misti accompagnati da buon vino e birre artigianali.

(Translated by Google) We took a cutting board and a beer, a lot of variety of cured meats, cheeses and local products. The place is very nice, with tables both in the square and in the cave. (Original) Abbiamo preso un tagliere e una birra, tanta varietà di salumi, formaggi e prodotti locali. Il posto è molto carino, con tavolini sia in piazzetta che in grotta.

(Translated by Google) Hi, we stopped here for a tour of the town and a quick lunch. We found this little place that prepared sandwiches with different fillings, platters accompanied by beers or wine. Fair prices and friendly staff. They also have various gadgets for sale such as t-shirts or hats with the club's logo. (Original) Ciao siamo fermati qui per un giro del paese e un pranzo al volo. Abbiamo trovato questo posticino che preparava panini con diverse farciture, taglieri accompagnati da birre o vino. Prezzi onesti e personale gentile. Hanno anche in vendita diversi gadget tipo magliette o cappello con il logo del locale.

(Translated by Google) Nice and very quaint food shop. We had a great time and despite the cold it was also fun to eat in the cave. The only flaw in my opinion is the lack of heating with a nice mushroom, it would really be the best. Exaggerated prices, two "cutting boards" 20 euros.. (Original) Alimentari carino e molto caratteristico. Ci siamo trovati molto bene e nonostante il freddo è stato divertente anche mangiare nella grotta. Unica pecca secondo me l assenza del riscaldamento con un bel fungo, sarebbe veramente il top. Prezzi esagerati, due "taglieri" 20 euro..

We had a lovely meal here during our stay in Sextano. Great to know that it is all locally produced. Good pasta dishes and wine paired well with it.

A very un-inspired meal here. The setting is undeniably amazing, and the service was okay. It took over 25 minutes to get our bottle of wine out that we ordered.. The food itself wasn't even mediocre, it was almost bad. The Sheep ragu was off putting and the carrot raviolo was very uninspiring. The cost is high, especially when compared to the region. It seems interesting that they make your reserve this table, for this level of food quality. A let down to say the least. Also, the restaurant itself is fairly hard to find in the village, front door has no label or logo; so it feels a bit like you're pushing open someone's front door when entering restaurant. Save your time and money and eat elsewhere

It’s a nice cosy place to be in. The food is slightly above average. But the service is great. There are tables with a view as well.

The atmosphere is great! We had an amazing dinner, even if service is not the friendliest. Good wine selection, even if a bit priced. Food was really good from starter to dessert. ✅

Locanda Sotto Gli Archi is a beautiful, historic spot in Santo Stefano di Sessanio. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, with antique charm and a cozy vibe. The food is traditional and full of flavour Friendly staff and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.

It was just okay. The setting is beautiful but the food, unfortunately, is mediocre. Essentially, you're paying for the atmosphere. The restaurant does have a lovely interior with a mix of the modern and rustic medieval, with heavy wooden beams and tables and whitewashed stone. The service was prompt and the waitress was very cordial. But the food was disappointing, especially considering the price, which is very expensive for this part of Italy. For just a primo, contorno and a glass of wine, I paid €30. The pasta I had was cooked reasonably well but it was a bit oversalted and one note, and I was bored after a few bites. The side dish of "wild grass" was bitter and underseasoned. The salad was just lettuce with a single sliced plum. Even the bread wasn't great, overly dry. Maybe I simply got unlucky with my choices and the atmosphere is very beautiful, but overall I was disappointed.

Average food. Planned a special dinner that was supposed to be in private beautiful setting, with private waiter and some authentic local cuisine. First they forgot to setup the private room and rushed to put something together (as you can see from picture not something I would call romantic), waiter was the same one who served everyone else and food was mediocre at best. Save you money and just eat just at the main restaurant or perhaps another place in town. La bettola was quite good!

We were really lucky to get a table at this restaurant. The menu is small but the food was very tasty. The place itself is wonderful and it has a very specific charm -hard to put into words. The service was friendly and welcoming.

Had an excellent Gnocchi with mushrooms and tartufo.

We had the best meal of our entire trip through Italy at Ristorante Da Clara. We accidentally arrived an hour before opening but with heavy rain, the staff let us enjoy wine inside by the heater while we waited. The dining space was so welcoming and homey. The ravioli and mushroom pasta were delicious, and the arrosticini was the best cooked lamb we’ve ever had. We had some chocolate and orange dish for dessert that was recommended by the waiter… it was to die for. Thank you Da Clara for the beautiful hospitality and food! Next time we visit Italy we will certainly make our way back to Calascio for more!

Friendly staff and good food. We recommend.

Best way to finish the ride to the castle. Familiar restaurant. Very comfortable with amazing pasta and wine. 100% recommend

Very good restaurant on the way forgotten castle Rocca Calascio in Abruzzo. Definitely good choice; meals tasted were bruschetta di salcichia, arosto misto, fetuccini di fungi e tartufo and desert was pannacotta. Wine was montepulciano....we definetly should stop by for additional trips to the Castle. ....

Had a delicious lunch here after visiting Rocca Calascio. Food and wine was fantastic and the service was very friendly

Nice lunch with great cheeses and arrosticini. Amazing spot, of course.

Beautiful view and atmosphere. Good food and nice staff.

If you like to pay a lot of money for tiny portions and wait over an hour for them, then this is the place for you!

Lentil soup from local lentil. Super lemonade from sugar cane.

Billo

(Translated by Google) Very nice place; we went for lunch on a weekday. Unfortunately, the service was very slow because, from what we saw, the woman was alone. She was super nice, but we waited over an hour for a plate of overcooked pasta. The platter was a bit sparse; there were more pickles than cured meats and cheeses. I honestly can't recommend it highly enough. It's a shame because the place is very good. (Original) Luogo molto bello, siamo stati a pranzo in un giorno in settimana. Purtroppo il servizio è stato molto lento perchè a quanto abbiamo visto la ragazza era da sola. Lei super carina però abbiamo atteso più di un'ora per un piatto di pasta scotto. Il tagliere era un pò scarno, c'erano più sottaceti che affettati e formaggi. Sinceramente non mi sento di consigliarlo troppo. Peccato perchè il posto merita molto.

(Translated by Google) What can I say...a magical, historic, and stunning place. We've been there several times, even with friends. I booked lunch here after reading some ridiculous, less-than-favorable reviews, which made me laugh, especially the owner's responses. I think you have to try it for yourself, and in fact, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food just as much. The staff was fun and fast, and the dishes were unique and very good. I always recommend Taberna when I hear from friends who go to Calascio. Congratulations! (Original) Che dire...luogo magico storico stupendo. Ci siamo stati varie volte anche per accompagnare amici . Ho prenotato il pranzo qui anche dopo aver letto alcune recensioni assurde non buone che mi hanno fatto molto ridere soprattutto le risposte del proprietario . Penso che bisogna provare di persona e infatti siamo stati benissimo e mangiato altrettanto. Personale divertente e veloce , piatti particolari e molto buoni . Consiglio sempre la Taberna quando sento amici che vanno a Calascio. Complimenti

(Translated by Google) It feels like being at a relative's house, a very welcoming family environment with around twenty seats in total in a single room. Excellent dishes of traditional Abruzzo cuisine but worth highlighting are the famous handmade ravioli filled with sheep's ricotta. (Original) Sembra di essere a casa di un parente, ambiente familiare molto accogliente con una ventina di coperti in totale in una sala unica. Ottimi piatti della cucina tradizionale abruzzese ma da sottolineare i famosi ravioli fatti a mano con ripieno di ricotta di pecora.

(Translated by Google) Flavors and authenticity in every dish. Very nice place in Calascio, without too many pretensions with very few seats (better to book). The dishes are delicious and genuine, it feels like eating at grandma's 😊. Good house red wine, very good price. I got a mixed appetizer with cured meats, cheeses, bruschetta and lentils, two ravioli with sheep's ricotta, an eggnog with millefeuille as dessert, half a liter of wine, water and coffee, €25 each. Homemade service, the owner is very kind. Absolutely recommended. (Original) Sapori e genuinità in ogni piatto. Posto molto carino a Calascio, senza troppe pretese con pochissimi coperti (meglio prenotare). I piatti sono buonissimi e genuini, sembra di mangiare dalla nonna 😊. Vino rosso della casa buono, prezzo molto buono. Preso un antipasto misto con salumi formaggi bruschette e lenticchie, due ravioli con ricotta di pecora, uno zabaione con millefoglie come dolce, mezzo litro di vino, acqua e caffè, 25€ a testa. Servizio casalingo, la titolare è’ molto gentile. Assolutamente consigliato.

(Translated by Google) A hidden gem among the narrow streets of this charming village. I recommend making a reservation because it's a popular trattoria. Local dishes and ingredients are of excellent quality and expertly prepared. Small seating and a rustic, welcoming atmosphere. Family-run, they're very friendly and make you feel right at home! I recommend the handmade ravioli, truly top-notch! Fair prices! Highly recommended if you're in the area. (Original) Una chicca nascosta tra le viuzze di questo adorabile paesino. Consiglio di prenotare perché è una Trattoria molto richiesta. Piatti e prodotti locali, di ottima qualità e sapientemente preparati. Pochi posti a sedere e ambiente rustico e accogliente. A conduzione familiare, sono molto gentili e ti fanno sentire come a casa! Consiglio i ravioli fatti a mano, veramente da 10 e lode ! Prezzi onesti! Assolutamente consigliato se siete nei paraggi.

(Translated by Google) "Like at home". The feeling is familiar, a small place and, indeed, like home, so much so that the coffee is made in the coffee maker and this is truly a nice treat! Reservation in advance is recommended as there are few tables. Possibility to eat vegetarian and vegan. The side dishes are a little scarce, but ravioli and lentils with the right quality-price ratio (Original) "Come a casa". La sensazione è familiare, un posticino piccolo e, appunto, come a casa tanto che il caffè è fatto nella caffettiera e questa è davvero una bella coccola! Consigliata la prenotazione in anticipo essendoci pochi tavoli. Possibilità di mangiare vegetariano e vegano. Un po' scarsi i contorni, ma ravioli e lenticchie con giusto rapporto qualità-prezzo

(Translated by Google) Trattoria nestled in the alleys of Calascio, typical local dishes with slow food products. Simple but well-executed cuisine, very helpful and friendly owner and fast service. Few seats, better to book. Advised (Original) Trattoria che si incastona nei vicoli di Calascio, piatti tipici locali con presidi slow food. Cucina semplice ma bene eseguita, molto disponibile e simpatica la proprietaria e servizio veloce. Pochi posti a sedere, meglio prenotare. Consigliato

(Translated by Google) We stopped by this restaurant after a walk, and what can I say? It's a small restaurant, but we had a really good meal. I especially recommend Maria's ravioli, which are delicious. It's best to book in advance because it's usually very popular. (Original) Siamo passati in questo ristorante dopo aver fatto una camminata, che dire.. ristorante piccolino ma abbiamo mangiato veramente bene. Consiglio soprattutto i ravioli di Maria, buonissimi. Meglio prenotare con anticipo perché solitamente è molto richiesto

(Translated by Google) Restaurant with home cooking, fresh ingredients, and excellent cuisine. Housed in a historic house in the center of town, it has a single room with four tables. Mrs. Maria was extremely kind, the welcome was impeccable, highly recommended. I tried the ravioli with sheep's milk ricotta, excellent! (Original) Ristorante con cucina casalinga, ingredienti freschi e ottima cucina. Organizzato dentro una casa storica nel centro del paese, ha un'unica sala con quattro tavoli. La signora Maria è stata gentilissima, accoglienza impeccabile, consigliatissimo. Io ho provato i ravioli con ricotta di pecora, ottimi!

Porchetta panini was incredible. A great lunch spot.

Great place for a glass of wine, very tasty food and friendly people we went back many times

Amazing people, amazing food thank you!! The microbrewery beers they have are delightfull!

We stopped here by chance after an hike hoping for some simple snacks and a beer. We asked for a simple “tagliere” (chopping board with some cured meat and cheese) we got something AMAZING! High quality local ingredients, amazing flavors matches and grate care on preparing everything. They even roasted some potatoes for us on the spot. Don’t let the look of the place trick you, the staff is lovely and the food is amazing. Worth every penny!

Lovely little panoramic bar with nice service

Amazing food and very nice staff

Great stop after biking up the hill from Ofena. She was so sweet and friendly, even let us charge our bike batteries for a bit. Thank you!

We went here on a day trip from Rome and it was my favorite part! The food is amazing and the staff are absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! You cannot miss this spot. My 3 year old daughter loved playing the piano with Daniella!

This is an outstanding hidden gem of Italy’s! Food was terrific and our server did her absolute best to accommodate our lack of Italian. Very, very reasonably priced and delicious!

I’ve been in Italy for 6 days, including 3 days in Rome. This is the best meal I have had. Fresh, artisanal local ingredients perfectly prepared. We had the truffle ravioli and a verdura soup for primi. Exquisite. Arosticini for secondi was perfectly grilled. Our contorni of sautéed cicoria and potato was so fresh and perfectly balanced. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through Abruzzo.

We had a very enjoyable meal in this gently genuine family restaurant. The food was exquisite; the welcome, warm; the service, attentive yet unobtrusive. Very good quality and value. Da ripetere.

Great food with great atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed a great live piano recital during our lunch.

Was the only place in town that was open on Monday. Friendly owners and recently opened (6 months). Small menu (maybe because of low season) but tasty antipasto and rocket pasta. Worth a visit if passing by

Lovely place, friendly people, amazing food! Highly recommend!

Truly, this was the most amazing sandwich I have ever had. Three simple ingredients (including the bread) combined to make something that is superior to anything else. The staff are wonderful, and the atmosphere is great. Pane Amaro is definitely worth the short walk from the main street.

Absolutely surprised by this hidden place! Located in a small street, good that they put up signs, otherwise you wouldn't find it! But I definitely recommend following the signs, right beside the square where you take the bus to La Rocca! First I thought it was a take-out, but then they showed us there dining room, an old basement with all kind of old tools displayed on the walls... Even though it said no service at tables, they brought us our food! Pannini and Bruschetta an absolute dream. Authentic and artisanal food cooked by locals in a local atmosphere. Pack your best italian to be able to order, but that wasn't a problem at all! As usual we got offered a coffee to end the meal, well I can tell you, I was awake after that one!😁 After all, I would definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely fantastic and delicious. Hardworking family run business. A broad range of sandwich options. Individually made. Great prices. 6-9€ for the various combinations. I splurged for the Panino Cinghiale. Perfetto! As other have noted the space is devoted to the town’s history. Gambero Rosso recognition in 2025. We really appreciated the host going the ‘extra mile’ to make a cappuccino per porta via for our ailing friend.

Nice restaurant, friendly service, good food.

The owner opened up the restaurant just for us:)!! Great food, wine and hospitality

really lovely place, with a friendly staff! my panino of the day was yummy!!

Super expensive, worth it only if you are very hungry

Nicola is an amazing host ! My partner and I loved chatting to him, we found very helpful all the tips he gave us about art culture and sites to explore. He actively helped us to find an open restaurant around the castel (which was magic ) and he went to pick fresh ingredients from the veg garden to create our Hugo cocktails. We love this place . Nicola ci vediamo presto.

A great little find in the village. Friendly owner and nice setting looking over the valley. Drinks at reasonable prices and delicious food, not to forget the funky music being played in the background. Worth a visit if you are around the area.

A beautiful and elegant Cafe with excellent food and an incredible outdoor seating area with an amazing view of the mountains and valley. There is parking right next door, which makes it's the perfect place to stop on a road trip. It's the nicest cafe in the area, with great people running it. 5 stars!

We had coffee here inside, because it was raining. We appreciated the fact that there was a little place to sit for a while.

Lovely view from the outside seating area. Good service and sandwiches

This place is a true gem. We passed by in the morning to buy sandwiches for our hike in the mountains, and returned again in the afternoon to enjoy the views from the terrace with some of the amazing cocktails they have on offer (make sure to try the Rocco Mule!). Very friendly and English speaking owner. Worth the short detour if you are heading up Campo Imperatore from San Stefano di Sessanio!

I love this place and people
