Exceptional! Starting with the excellent fettuccine, mushrooms and sausage, kebabs and rabbit no less, all served in a welcoming rustic restaurant immersed in the splendid setting of the snow-capped Lake Campotosto.The service offered by two very kind young guys was also excellent.We will definitely be back!

I love this place!Very nice place overlooking the lake, typical interiors make you feel at home, staff who welcomed me and served me very well.High quality starters, the ravioli with mushrooms and sausage DIVINE, for the amatriciana you can do better, but still good. Grilled meat very good and the whitefish ok too.Excellent prices, fast service, very appreciable house wine.A (further) good reason to return to Campotosto, I absolutely recommend it.

Both in summer and winter it is worth returning. Excellent pappardelle with mushrooms and sausage, everything was beautiful. Nice environment, nice welcome, nice to eat with a view of the lake.

Absolutely best spaghetti alla matriciana I have ever had. Doesn't look like a restaurant from outside. But don't give up and enter. It was a bit pricey but worth the visit

Let's start from the end160 euros 6 people 2 waters and 1/2 red 6 first courses 6 second courses 6 side dishes 5 desserts 3 coffees and 2 bitters.We fit in perfectly, especially for the quantity of food on the plate, to which we add quality and why not also finally many kids who work.Express cuisine therefore it goes without saying that the times take longer but in our case it allowed us to savor everything better.We recommend the amatriciana and the mushroom and sausage fettuccine.hamburger and whitefish, space baked potatoes.We will be back soon.ADVISED

We stopped to eat at this place twice and each time it was a great experience. We really like the environment even if bringing our dog with us we have to sit outside it would be nice to see the inside of the restaurant (we appreciated it anyway ) the food is excellent and not too elaborate, starting from the pasta, meat and lake fish we recommend trying everything! The girls with us were always very kind and didn't let us miss anything. The cost is acceptable. We recommend this place if you are in the area!
