Elfo Pub is an absolutely fantastic beer-centered pub down a quiet little alley off Piazza…read moreNovembre. Completely unpretentious with one of the most incredible selections of European beer I've ever seen! Vintage Belgian ales, gose, sours, lagers, a little something for everyone...so long as you're a fan of European styles (which I am). If you're looking for Heineken or Kronenburg, this might not be the spot for you. But if you're looking for a purely unique, artistic, comfortable pub with an amazing selection of beers and a very friendly and knowable bar staff, you've come to the right place!

My favorite Perugia pub has a large selection of local and international craft beers - over 100…read morebottled beers, plus ten rotating ones on tap with an amazing variety of different styles. During my first three nights, I did tastings of the nine tap brews which interested me. And was lucky: The following night, some of the tap beers had changed. The staff is very friendly and - as in all good craft beer pubs - offers free sips of the tap beers you are not sure of. Elfo Pub is hidden in a little side street, but it definitely is worth looking for.

I've only been here once, before the evening took off. But it was fun to find a place in Pescara…read morewhere you could order a beer and a burger at the bar while that night's bluegrass band tuned up their instruments and worked on their sound balance. The burgers were good and came fast. What was best is the variety - blue cheese, for example. The staf gentile, but the key to this place is music and sport. The main football/soccer and international rugby matches are on paytv but the key is music. Last night bluegrass upstairs, but a Swing Dance party in the basement music hall. The only real drawback is that they don't take plastic - and are not open at lunch.

Speaking of "watching". . . young wait staff highly cordial and fun but they have not been informed about "watching customers" for indicators of further needs, as in spending more!!! My bill would have likely doubled if I didn't need to chase down someone to bring more food and beverage. But, that's youth. Cards would also encourage spending.

As great as Italian bars are, they are usually a mixture of so many things... coffee, pastries,…read morealcohol, etc. When you want a true pub/bar type of place, they generally won't fit the bill. But here in Soriano we have St Patrick Pub, a traditional "pub", but still with something of an Italian feel to it. Lots of great beer here on draft, a real cozy "hang out" feel, snacks of course, and late hours.

Frattelli Nurzia was an institution L'Aquila even before the disastrous earthquake of April 6 2009,…read more but afterwards it became one of the symbols of reconstruction and rebirth of the city. Natalia, the most recent leader in a family that has been a part of L'Aquila's caffe tradition for decades, has never stopped proving what can be done in face of tragedy. And they have been doing is with style. Don't let the scaffolding on the outside deter you, the Art Deco interior ("Liberty" in Italy) helps mix with the aroma of great espresso (in the morning) and prosecco or a glass of white Pecorino wine (in the afternoon) and take you back to the a turn of the last century. They are most famous for Torrone Frattelli Nurzia (the more artisanal of L'Aquila's two most traditional makers of the city's traditional nougat, chocolate and almond candy (they even serve it melted in coffee if you need an extra boost of energy to fight cold mornings and evenings. Recently they have added a few choices of artisanal gelato. The chocolate-cinnamon-orange gelato is to die for, and surprisingly lactose-free.
