Great place to enjoy local Abruzzo food. Excellent chef and great atmosphere. If you like truffle, this is a place to go to.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Italy... the food is exceptionally good, with highlights being the quality of meat and fresh truffle. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting... and the lovely staff always make the experience extra special. Have been here three times and have brought family and friends in the past year. Can't recommend highly enough the filete di manzo con tartufo, and the carpaccio!

Excellent service, food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. Wide choice of wines, all high quality and most of which are rather expensive. Pasta portions are generous and enough on their own to satisfy light eaters. Mains are modest in size but absolutely delicious, meats are divine. A very good choice in Ovindoli. Would give it a 4.5 if I could, but I would not give it a 5. Bathroom is tiny and unisex, not quite up the level of the restaurant.l, but it is functional and clean. The lack of basic stuff such as beer (only bottled heineken), cider and even roast potatoes was a bit of a let down.

I’m impressed there are one-star reviews for this wonderful place. Our experience was excellent: from the warm welcome even though we arrived for lunch 10 minutes before closing time. The staff were always available and helpful, the dishes we ordered were prepared at the moment, very tasty and with fresh, high quality ingredients. The dessert was also fresh and tasty beyond compare. An overall excellent experience. For us La Stozza is highly recommended.

An outstanding restaurant with the heart of central Italy! Chef Osvaldo creates unexpected combinations using top quality ingredients: the research in tastes is that of a gourmet restaurant, while the atmosphere is relaxed and familiar. En plus, very nice staff and great wines. Defintely one of my best eating experiences.
