Ristorante Il Setaccio is highly regarded for its authentic, family-run atmosphere where the husband cooks and the wife manages the front of house. Guests consistently praise the quality of the fresh homemade pasta, particularly the chitarra, gnocchi, and truffle ravioli. A major highlight for many is the generous amount of fresh truffle shaved onto the dishes, which is noted as being excellent value. The service is described as warm, kind, and prompt, contributing to the restaurant's reputation as an intimate 'little gem.' While the menu is focused, featuring local cured meats and cheeses, the execution of traditional Abruzzese flavors is widely complimented. Visitors strongly recommend making a reservation due to the restaurant's small size and popularity in the center of Pescocostanzo.
