We were warmly welcomed into a restaurant decorated like a typical Neapolitan trattoria, filled with fond memories of famous Neapolitan actors and actresses. The owner, busy in the kitchen, came around several times to greet the guests and gather feedback. We were promptly served and enjoyed the expertly prepared seafood menu with truly unique flavors. The octopus alla Luciana is still mouthwatering. The fried food was incredibly crispy and tender. The gnocchi with beans and mussels were a real treat! We truly enjoyed ourselves, felt at ease, and sang along with them in a warm atmosphere. My compliments! Parking is available in the area. We will definitely be back to try the meat dishes.

An elegant symphony of seafood and Campanian tradition
In the heart of Monteforte Irpino, La Malafemmena stands out as a small gem of local dining, combining authentic tradition with refined, contemporary flavors. A gastronomic experience that captivates from the first moment, thanks to a welcoming atmosphere, meticulous attention to detail, and attentive, discreet service.
The tasting menu began with a selection of seafood appetizers that showcase the freshness and quality of the ingredients: the delicate seafood salad, perfectly balanced in flavor; the tender octopus alla Luciana, wrapped in a sauce rich in Mediterranean aromas; the battered prawn with parsley mayonnaise, a harmonious blend of crunchiness and softness; and finally the marinated anchovies, which encapsulate all the simplicity and purity of the sea.
The first courses confirmed the excellent quality of the cuisine: the pacchero with swordfish and eggplant celebrates the Mediterranean with balance and intensity, while the seafood risotto is a true masterpiece of creaminess and flavor, evoking the sea breeze with every bite.
Rounding out the experience was the mixed fried fish: impeccably light, dry, and perfectly golden, a testament to an expert hand and masterful frying.
Each course was accompanied by friendly and professional service, making guests feel at the center of an authentic experience.
La Malafemmena is a restaurant that knows how to excite: a place where the sea meets Irpinia tradition, giving rise to sincere, elegant, and characterful cuisine. A place to remember and recommend without hesitation.

Everything was delicious!
We tried the €40 per person menu and loved it all! From the appetizers to the first courses, to the main courses and desserts! Unlimited drinks, traditional, quality cuisine, and friendly staff. We'll be back!

Second visit to Malafemmena. Excellent food and service in this small, quaint osteria. Away from mainstream destinations, but well worth the visit! Highly recommend reservations.

Excellent. It promised well and didn't disappoint. There were four of us, two adults and two children. My kids had spaghetti with clams and a deconstructed cannoli and wanted more: it was a success. We had ricotta meatballs with truffle and caramelized onion (unbeatable), parmigiana, mussel soup, and fried shrimp and calamari. The soup was delicious and very fresh, and we also loved the idea of the "sponged" fresella underneath and the tarallo with suet and pepper that accompanied it. The calamari was incredibly fresh, and the fried food was clean and well-done. The atmosphere was beautiful and worth relishing, quiet but sociable. The owner's performance was unforgettable, with her incredible voice and some old-school Neapolitan songs. For me, it was money well spent. I'll do it again. Bravo!

First time at this osteria in Monteforte Irpino. A wonderful evening. Excellent food, top-quality (the mussel soup was exceptional). The evening was accompanied by the voice of a lady (I think the owner), whose magnificent voice rounded out a superb evening. Compliments also to the guitarist. Thank you.

Small restaurant, food exceptional in quality and abundance. Very attentive and friendly staff. Definitely worth it, considering we dined on seafood in a place far from the sea.
