"Very nice experience. Arrosticini were very good, juicy tasty and flavorful. Pizza dolci also really nice. A/C inside so it was fresh during this hot day. The house red wine was also very fresh and not too heavy. We also had lam, sausages and bruschette, I can only recommend the place."

"Thank God for the Google maps and reviews, that ww found this gem. All was just amazing. Food, staff, parking, would come back always. Just reserve in advance. We called and were told they would be full, luckily, when we came, there was a few free tables."

"Da abruzzese posso garantire che è davvero eccezionale. L’atmosfera è molto accogliente, capace di farti sentire a casa. La qualità dei prodotti è eccellente, si percepisce grande attenzione nella scelta delle materie prime. In particolare ho apprezzato moltissimo il pecorino di Farindola, davvero superlativo. Straordinari gli arrosticini, cottura perfetta e quantità di sale perfetta (esattamente come li vogliamo in Abruzzo). Un esperienza che consiglio senza esitazioni."

"Ci siamo tornati per la seconda volta a distanza di tempo, ed è stata una conferma di quanto ricordavamo. Di certo la migliore cucina abruzzese in zona. Servizio poi impeccabile, disponibilissimi anche per consigli. Anellini fenomenali, salumi ottimi e lo stracotto di pecora si scioglieva in bocca."

"Posto di riferimento ormai da qualche tempo per vera cucina abruzzese tipica. Il pane con olio e sale all'inizio è un must. Il mio piatto preferito la mugnaia con porcini e tartufo. Da provare assolutamente"
