Locanda Sotto gli Archi

Top choice in Abruzzo


Sextantio hotel's restaurant makes imaginative use of an arched, 16th-century dining room. Furniture and crockery are designed to re-create the austere quality of bygone times (picture a Game of Thrones banquet), and the excellent food uses time-honoured ingredients and techniques native to the region.

Expect simple, handmade food such as maccheroni alla chitarra con patate, noci e pepe nero (pasta with potato, nuts and pepper) and a bowl of the famous lentil soup.
