"Beautiful place for dinner! We did the 40€ tasting menu and it was wonderful. We shared the goat cheese and guanciale, chicken ragu (best “chicken noodle soup” version I’ve ever had), lamb ragu. Then we each picked our own meat. We ordered and shared the sliced beef, lamb chops, and leg of lamb. We all thought the leg of lamb was the best. Sitting outside and watching the sunset was amazing."

"same family that owns & operates Posta Pacentrana, with highest standards & excellent quality. the tasting menu €35 is exceptional: antipasto, plus - 3 kinds of homemade pasta, plus secondi protein course, local bottle of organic vino sfuso, and a dolce vino too, the dolce course is a perfect complement, hot backed fresh bread, locally sourced spring water (eco-friendly without bottle, but rather served in a carafe); friendly helpful knowledgeable staff staff, all in a huge palazzo with a view. best culinary experience in the entire world, in a town whose name means - the center of peace - Pacentro"

"The food is top quality! The best is when you can eat with a view of the Peligna valley. My favorites are the eggs with truffles and the marinated lamb. Incredible! Oh yes and their chicory side dish is some of the best. Don’t miss the desserts. Service is good."
