It came with oysters, three types of shrimp, shrimp paste, three types of ceviche, and a carpaccio. My favorite was the carpaccio, which had pieces of freeze dried raspberry on top. The only thing I didn't like was one of the ceviches. We had a plate of fried calamari and shrimp next. The batter was excellent! Lastly, we had a pasta dish with clams. It was simple but delicious. I would say this restaurant was the highlight of our time here in this port city.

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

Its a Michelin-noted, white tablecloth place with impeccable but cordial service, and a great menu. It's also very popular with locals, many of whom were in evidence, ordering their "usual" dishes. The portions are decently generous, and one of ours came with unexpected bonuses. The quality of the food was always high, and the execution ranged from "good" to "very good". Unfortunately their signature farfalle dish was the one that impressed the least; other dishes we had were more characterful. Great wine list with lots of Local, Italian and some international choices. This is a real Sulmona experience, and worth considering if you'll be in town.

Word of advice, do not attempt to drive down the street where the restaurant is located. You will see cars parked alongside the road for reason. Park your car with the others and walk down to the restaurant. The street is very narrow, there is no parking anyway, and you will be on a very tight spot indeed to get out of there. Enjoy!!

Nestled in the hills about an hour outside of Rome is where you'll find this charming family owned…read morerestaurant serving up fresh made pastas, homemade cheese and cured meats, and so much more. My sister and I were taken to this place by a local guide during a private olive oil tour and he truly couldn't have picked a better place off the tourist beaten path. Every single bite that went into our mouth was absolutely delicious...this was honestly one of the meals I've had in Italy. We started with a selection of fresh mozzarella cheese before moving on to an expansive meats and cheese board that included a selection of items I'm still dreaming of. It was one of the best charcuterie boards I've ever enjoyed and our guide informed us that the meats and most of the cheeses were all made in-house. There was an amazing blood sausage that was out of this world. (the family also owns a sheep farm near the property) Next up were two melt in your mouth pasta dishes that get two thumbs up from me. We somehow managed to have just enough room left for dessert which consisted of tiramisu and a pana cotta topped with this amazing pistachio cream that was to die for. Luckily for me, the restaurant also offers a small aisle of local food items (pasta, olive oil, etc.) that you can purchase and you best believe I bought a jar of the pistachio cream to take home. We left this lunch so full we didn't even bother with dinner that night. If you find yourself in this neck of the woods be sure to stop in because you won't leave disappointed (or hungry).
