Awards Candidates 2019

02/05/2026: The taste of perfection The perfection of taste. Calling it a restaurant is an understatement, as this place immerses the senses in a new dimension. The chef personally welcomes you inside the ancient tower, where you're made comfortable and served an aperitif. Then, after a tour of the exquisite wine cellar, you move into the beautiful dining room. We opted for the 10-course tasting menu. The flavors were incredible, and each course maintained a level of excellence unlike any other Michelin-starred restaurant. The wait staff manages to combine the highest level of professionalism without ever being cloying, but rather friendly and welcoming. In short, a truly exceptional experience. Among the dishes, all beautiful and delicious, special mention must be made of the risotto, red mullet, and lamb.

19/04/2026: If you are in the area and want to enjoy Italian cuisine at the highest level, this is your destination.

06/06/2026: Few restaurants leave such a lasting impression. From the first moment, you sense incredible care: the dining room staff guides you through every detail, passionately explaining each dish and allowing you to experience the experience from start to finish. The cuisine is a perfect balance between tradition and modernity: flavors that recall the local area, yet reinterpreted with surprising creativity. Each course tells a story, and some flavors linger in your memory because they're hard to find elsewhere. A special mention also goes to the wine cellar: an extraordinary selection of wines, with countless labels and meticulous attention to pairings. A place where technique, research, and hospitality meet. It's not just eating out, it's a culinary journey. An experience truly worth trying!

23/05/2026: I had dinner yesterday with my husband to celebrate a special occasion, and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The experience begins well before you set foot in the restaurant; a valet will welcome you. Then comes the vegetable garden that the chef personally tends. Walk through it slowly and let the aromas of the herbs used in the kitchen fill your air. The tables set outside are beautiful; each guest has their own little corner of paradise. The same is true inside, with the open-view wine cellar, a majestic fireplace that creates a warm atmosphere in the winter months, and the beautiful open kitchen that allows you to watch the team at work. You will be looked after by various staff, all professional, friendly, and ready to guide you impeccably. We chose the "La Costa" menu, with primarily seafood-based dishes. What amazed me most was the chef's mastery, who manages to combine Italian and Eastern traditions. Technique marries aesthetics and flavor. A perfect blend! Each dish captivates all the senses. The flavors are bold, each dish has its own distinct soul, and every bite is an explosion of flavor. What more can I say about the wine list?! The selection is wide and varied, and there are some truly interesting gems. We had the opportunity to work in the kitchen with the chef, which is a magical experience for foodies! Chef Sposito immediately put us at ease, and it was wonderful to see how a dish is created, chatting with him, and he was eager to answer our questions and curiosities. If you're looking for an authentic experience that truly delivers, Taverna Estia won't disappoint. You'll find the hospitality, authenticity, and warmth of an authentic tavern, along with the best features a restaurant with two Michelin stars can offer. We hope Chef Sposito achieves his third star, and that his passion, technique, research, and approach to cooking will be further recognized. Thanks to Chef Sposito, his team, and the entire staff. Each of you made our experience stellar ❤️

07/04/2026: Beautiful view, good restaurant even if the dishes didn't make my heart beat, but rooms not in line with the restaurant... definitely to be improved

02/12/2025: Those unexpected surprises, brought by friends who knew nothing about it. From the moment I walked in, I knew we weren't talking about your usual restaurant. I assure you, everything was unusual and pleasant... you'll see me again soon, I promise!!! Well done, but truly from the heart, well done!

26/11/2025: A fantastic journey into the land of emotions. An extraordinary experience. This was my second time. And I hope there will soon be a third. I particularly appreciated the presentation, the flavors, the textures, the entire experience. A great deal of creativity, always in service of taste. Surprises are an integral part of the evening. The food and wine pairing is sumptuous!
