Tucked away in a tiny town, this is a Michelin guide recommended trattoria, and as you walk in you are greeted by all the elusive food reviewers' stickers throughout the years placed at the entrance.

Its a Michelin-noted, white tablecloth place with impeccable but cordial service, and a great menu. It's also very popular with locals, many of whom were in evidence, ordering their "usual" dishes. The portions are decently generous, and one of ours came with unexpected bonuses. The quality of the food was always high, and the execution ranged from "good" to "very good". Unfortunately their signature farfalle dish was the one that impressed the least; other dishes we had were more characterful. Great wine list with lots of Local, Italian and some international choices. This is a real Sulmona experience, and worth considering if you'll be in town.

We had lunch at Taverna de li Caldera a party of 10. This restaurant located in Pacentro, Italy a town in the mountains over Sulmona is a gem in Abruzzo, housed in the fundago of a noble palace in the beautiful historic center of Pacentro with a spectacular view of the Peligno Valley. Entering the restaurant the entrance has various Michelin guide (although dated) reinforces the quality of this long established restaurant! Some reviews say the Service is slow or inattentive but I found this the opposite. Our Server was attentive and I liked that she took our orders after each entre allowing plenty of time between courses and never felt rushed. For the Antipasta, I chose Bollito di baccala in sala verde (18e) It was delicate and light and not over salty. Insalate di funghi porcini con rucola e Parmigiano (18 e) The porcini mushrooms were absolutely the freshest and so fragrant mushroom I have ever eaten!! Primi Pappardelle con funghi freschi (18 e) Pasta was so fresh and made with raw ingredients Secondi Coscio di agnello lardellato al forno (18e) This is where they lose a star as the agnello (lamb chops) were tasteless and no flavor and had a lot of fat. Very rustic Dolce Pizza dolce abuzzese (6 e)

The complimentary bread was nice but not as good as what we bought in the grocery store. The appetizer was small and the sauce was just okay. The pasta course was tiny as well. The pasta was plated nicely with a bit of shredded chicken in the sauce. Arrostocini lacked flavor and the meat was cut way too small. I make lamb skewers often and I cut the pieces much bigger. It was not enough to call it a main course.

Friendly and helpful wait staff, good menu choices and a great winelist featuring both local, Italian and some international wines (they "double" as an enoteca.)
