Santo Stefano di Sessanio is a tiny village and the dining options reflect that -- but what exists is very good. The cooking is Abruzzese mountain food: hearty, honest, and built around exceptional local produce. Lentil soup, arrosticini, local pecorino, and pasta made in the house are the staples. The albergo diffuso also operates its own dining and can guide guests to the current best options in the village.
