La Tipiteca In San giovanni a piro

07/10/2023: Excellent cuisine, as well as excellent service. Excellent value for money.

30/09/2023: Dream location. Recommended by colleagues and friends I decided to try it. Reservation made via text message, fast and effective response. Immediate and informal, but stylish welcome, the place was practically empty, covered with class and already set, accommodation on the terrace with a breathtaking view of the sea, divine day, breeze and silence to lull our lunch. Classic menu, finally without Q-code, few dishes on the register, but all well described, ordered quickly with water and bread served upon arrival. Homemade entrée with seaweed fritters filled the little wait for lunch, a nice Greco di Tufo framed the meal and more. Appetizers: m'buttunat (courgette flowers) with ricotta and toasted pepper mousse and simply divine raw prawn quenelle, Mbuttunate anchovies stuffed anchovies with lemon buffalo ricotta mousse, here too we reach perfection. First courses: Pacchero risotto with seafood, prawns, octopus and red datterino tomatoes, classic fish dish, good but nothing compared to the other dish taken by the wife which were stuffed ravioli of which unfortunately I don't remember the recipe, truly unique and to try. Second courses: We decided to divide a selection of grilled local fish into two, not the classic plate full of fish thrown in, but specific slices of swordfish, tuna and other well cooked and seasoned items. Desserts: tiramisu and a lemon delight, the second excellent and above all soft, two coffees and two limoncellos. Price/quality for two we paid 145 euros taking into account the location, the quality and the service I think it fits. A place not for everyone, but worth trying at least once, the only "negative" point is arm yourself with strength and will because to get there you have to go up, up and then up, but it's worth it. A piece of advice, a few more directions, for those who are not local, are necessary.
