I cannot say enough positive things about this gem of a restaurant in the heart of Italy. If you are looking for an authentic experience enjoying everything from the delicious locally sourced food to the amazingly warm and friendly staff, this is the place. I will be returning with more of my friends and family as soon as I can😀

The food was great and the Staff was very nice. Everyone was full and the price was very affordable. The Owner made sure we were well and took a shot limonchello with us at the end of our meal. We were the only tourists there and were very welcome. Overall a great experience and well worth the cheap price.

We had dinner at this restaurant and it was a wonderful surprise in every way. The atmosphere is refined and welcoming, making you feel immediately at home. We were greeted with great enthusiasm, warmth, and a truly rare kindness.
The service was impeccable and fast, always attentive without being intrusive. The food? Delicious, carefully prepared, and served in generous portions that were completely satisfying. There's also a beautiful fireplace in the dining room, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere throughout the evening.
Special thanks to the owner, an extremely kind and helpful person: in addition to keeping us company with great charm, he gave us valuable advice for accommodations during our vacation.
We absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through the area—we'll definitely be back!

Emperor Vespasian went to the Cotilia Baths every summer, until his last. He died there on June 23, 79 AD. Today, however, even the imperial title would be of no use, because the Cotilia Baths, in the municipality of Sant'Angelo, along the stretch of the Salaria road from Rieti to L'Aquila, are closed.
However, if you make your way there, perhaps drawn by the magic of nearby Lake Paterno, "umbilicus Italiae," I recommend the "Locanda delle Fonti" (after the still-barred entrance to the baths, a hundred meters to the left in the direction of L'Aquila). At the urging of the owner, Claudio, the appetizer (cured meats, grilled vegetables, and fried foods) comes naturally. Then, Hamlet of the menu, you have to choose. And I happily chose: ravioli with amatriciana sauce and wild boar stew. For dessert, a surprise: copete, a blend of almonds, honey, and sugar, originating in Southern Italy, or rather directly from Arab cuisine (qubbayt means "sweet preserve").
But the real highlight is the charm of Claudio, a Roman who followed the opposite path of the first Claudii: they came from Sabina, he returned from Rome to Sabina, to the delight of many palates. My husband is the reviewer.

An old-fashioned trattoria with a chef's twist, serving typical Roman dishes—the authentic kind, the kind learned over a lifetime in the kitchen. The ambience needs a facelift, but the festive atmosphere, like being at a friend's house, makes up for it.
A pleasant surprise, but it's a shame it's in a hidden spot. I'll be back often.
