The story
Nestled in Carsoli along the route from Rome to Abruzzo, Da Rossella is the kind of unassuming trattoria that rewards those who venture off the autostrada. With a stellar 4.7 rating, it has earned a fervent following among travelers in the know.
One creator who made the detour was cookwithfez, who declared the ravioli with sheep ragù “the best ravioli in central Italy.” In his travelogue from Milan to Rome, he called the restaurant “a must-stop when heading to Abruzzo.” For anyone craving deeply traditional Abruzzese cooking, the plump, hand-filled pasta in that rich, earthy sauce clearly delivers on the promise.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Da Rossella’s ravioli con ragù di pecora earns raves for its tender, rich lamb filling, creating a warm, deeply satisfying rustic meal that feels like home.
“These are the best ravioli in central Italy for me. When I go with my friends towards Abruzzo or when we go to the mountains in winter from Rome, it's an hour away. The ravioli with sheep ragù are a must. You're in Abruzzo, you have to go with sheep meat. No beef here, only sheep. But come with a light breakfast, prepare like you're going to an all-you-can-eat sushi place. Don't eat beforehand.”
