During the summer, my girls and I always stop by Gran Caffe L’Aquila for their gelato. Their gelato is so delicious, to say the least. I love their lemon and berry gelato, as a mix … it’s just so refreshing on a hot summer day!

This time my girls and I visited Gran Caffe L’Aquila for lunch to celebrate my youngest graduating from high school.

Whenever my girls and I dine, the goal is to have a nice experience by sampling from each other’s plates.

For our drinks, the girls each ordered a latte - one hot and the other iced. And, I ordered their Margarita Calabrese.

For our appetizers, we ordered their burrata mozzarella with the tomato basil caprese and we also ordered the bruschetta with the roast pepper capanata.

For our entrees, we ordered their gnocchi allá bava, salmone in placca, and canneloni di pesce.

The bread came complimentary with our meal.

Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and not to mention, satisfied our appetites. We loved the bruschetta, the olives and the toast, chef’s kiss! My youngest daughter enjoyed her salmon and my oldest daughter enjoyed the gnocchi so much that she wanted to save some for later … The canneloni was a favorite of our server and instantly became mine after the first bite, it was just too yummy!

For dessert, we ordered a couple of gelatos, which never disappoints.

The ambiance of the restaurant is nice on the 2nd level - I would say the noise level is mid, you can hear each other talking. Very nice vibe!

My girls and I would definitely dine here again and I would also dine here solo, if I ever find myself in search of a nice Italian restaurant.
