We just stopped in for a glass of wine before dinner and had a great experience at La Fonte. Although our hostess didn't speak much English she was very patient and helped us choose some very nice wine. We were surprised when the wine came with a plate of prosciutto, bread and some amazing local cheese with honey...all for â¬6 a glass.The restaurant itself, as the name suggests, is right next to an old fountain in a quaint square in medieval Scanno. You can sit and watch the water or watch the people go by while enjoying your wine.All in all a great experience and an opportunity to have the 'sit on the square in Italy' experience that rampant tourism has all but killed in many places. Although we were only there for an hour it was one of the highlights of our trip.

Previous attempts to go to Alla Fonte have been in vain as sadly the opening times on the door seemed to bear little resemblance to the actual opening times, but we decided to try one more time and luckily this time they were open - and very glad we were too. The wine list outside offered far more than the usual, and we had a delicious Gerwurtztraminer from the Alto Adige. The accompanying aperitivo was also well above the average - fantastic bread (I found out that it was home made) accompanied by a cold cut and two types of (obviously local) cheese with honey. Everything was excellent. All they need to do is improve their time keeping and they'll get 5 stars next time.

We visited the lovely town on the way to Barrea (another lovely location). It is a small restaurant that was totally empty when we entered it on a Saturday for lunch --later another two guests arrived. I am always wary of empty restaurant and started to worry, but the friendliness of the service put us immediately in a good mood. We have two small children and immediately offered to bring some toys and pencils for them.Then the food: the list in quite standard for the region, but it has excellent and also innovative ingredients. Thus traditional dishes that you can eat anywhere become truly exceptional! the 'antipasto' and the 'primi' are a collection of delicacies, portions are generous. We had the house wine, which was extremely inexpensive (I believe around 5 euros for half a litre!) and perfectly drinkable. If I have to find a problem it is the fact that we changed our itinerary and came back to Pettorano just to discover that in July they are for lunch only during the weekend.

Wine bar with open kitchen that accompanies the wines from Abruzzo we are not a restaurant but ... the alternative to the restaurant, the menu with the right choice of typical Abruzzese quality products !

We were looking for a snack and a glass of wine and the owner served us. He was so friendly and helpful, We enjoyed ourselves so much and enjoyed his company, we cam back for supper with family members who lived in the area (and who knew the owner!). The food is excellent. Wine also excellent. The owner really knows. the area and gets great ingredients.

I am a California USA traveler. Ok. SURPRISE! I only eat Italian local fare when traveling to Italy..... until now. What a wonderful find and surprise. Mostly Local foods. A lot of organically. Veggies cooked perfectly. Dishes are Mind-benders. With each dish I asked "how did they get that taste?" It was a perfect blend/compliment of tastes. I would expect this in San Francisco, or WashingtonDC and maybe Rome if I looked for it, but I'd never seek it out. But in Sulmona! Wow. I hope they keep working their magic in the kitchen. The ravioli pasta was thick and cooked al dente perfectly. The sauce was taken to a new level with a treat of coconut milk, something I will do from now on. The chicken with rice.... the chicken was hot AND moist and infused with the sauce, translated - perfect. What a treat. Thank you!
