Dal Contadino In San cipriano picentino

25/03/2024: In my constant search for new places to visit and new flavors, I discovered this little gem. My choice was initially attracted by the particularity of the menu and the "path" of the Chef, a choice later confirmed in practice. The restaurant is welcoming and intimate, furnished with excellent taste and in a privileged position, from which it is possible to admire the entire surrounding area, up to the sea. The restaurant does not propose itself (or advertises itself) as the classic "gourmet" restaurant, but by taking a look at the menu, you immediately understand that you will not be tasting the usual dishes, there is something more, and upon tasting that something comes out fully: excellent raw materials, combinations that are sometimes complex without ever bordering on "too much", excellent ideas equally well executed. It is clear that for the chef, trying his hand at this activity was not just a "whim", but a true passion: my compliments. The dining room staff was very kind and courteous, I particularly appreciated the fact that I was specifically asked, in detail (which wasn't the usual "everything was fine"), what I thought of the dishes, a sign that the chef has a clear desire to improve further, listening to those who will then have to eat those dishes and judge them. A note of merit to the very extensive wine list, Italian and international, there really is something for all types of pairings. Large car park adjacent to the restaurant, in a quiet area. Prices aligned with the quality of the dishes and the experience in general. Recommended, because it deserves to grow.
