Da Gino

Family run by the Allega family for over 40 years, Da Gino is open at lunchtime and is not to be missed. Award winning, this is one of the best options for dining in Sulmona and it showcases the very best of the town and surrounding area's produce. Don't miss the house antipasto with homemade salami, Pecorino di Farindola (in Pescara province), a local cheese and the only one in Italy to be made with pork rennet, cheese with Zafferano dell'Aquila DOC (local Aquila saffron) and zolle di aglio (wild root of the local red garlic) but leave room for first courses like spaghetti alla chittara (cut with guitar strings), maltagliati pasta with ricotta and guanciale (pork cheek), homemade ricotta ravioli or flame grilled lamb, a local specialty.
