Castrumpub In Mercogliano

04/12/2024: An authentic experience in Scampitella! On the advice of a friend I went to the Osteria dei Briganti in Scampitella with two friends and I must say that it was a truly pleasant experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with rustic decor that makes you immediately feel at home. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to advise you and satisfy your every request. The menu offers a wide choice of traditional Irpinian dishes, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We started with a house bruschetta, then moved on to 3 courses of appetizers: 1. slices of raw ham, culatello, knots, olives, ricotta, pork sausage and homemade cheese; 2. oven-cooked fennel accompanied by porcini mushrooms, peppers and omelette in addition to the potato and pepper dish; 3. grilled caciocavallo and caciocavallo with porcini mushrooms and truffle. Next we tasted two exceptional first courses: 1. the "scarpariello" or chiatarra troccoli with a particular sauce and homemade cheese (a crazy and incredible pleasure) that leads you to make many delicious shoes; 2. tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and truffle, a real treat! After the first courses we tasted 2 second courses, one of which was meat with sliced ​​meat and porcini mushrooms (better to have it with rocket and parmesan) and a plate of steamed cod with chilli pepper and fried oil (a magnificent dish!) To conclude we tasted the house tiramisu as well as coffee and ammazza caffè (the barricade). The tavern offers an exceptional wine: His Majesty the Aglianico!, I won't hide from you that the friends "drank" two bottles as if they were water :-D! perfect to accompany dishes. What can I say? Osteria dei Briganti is the perfect place to enjoy true Irpinian cuisine in an authentic and familiar environment. If you are in Scampitella (AV), you cannot miss this culinary experience! It is located 5 minutes from the Vallata motorway exit! Try it to believe it! Highly recommended!
