There are places that aren't just restaurants... they're places where you enter as a customer and leave feeling like a friend. ❤️
Every time we come to Padre Pio, we look for a special place to stop, and this time we discovered a true gem right next to the church: the trattoria "C'era una Volta."
From the first moment, we were greeted with rare kindness: the owners immediately made us feel at home, with that simplicity and warmth that make all the difference.
We had thought about having an appetizer and a steak, but one of the owners recommended we try only their Marchigiana, raised in San Giorgio del Sannio. And thank goodness we trusted him... it's truly poetic! 🥩Tender, tasty, cooked to perfection: a flavor that speaks volumes about the quality of the ingredients and the passion of those who prepare them.
But the surprise doesn't end there: a splendid cellar holds precious wines, a little corner of paradise for those who love good wine. We accompanied our lunch with an excellent glass of wine 🍷, enjoying every moment.
And then a little detail that we really appreciated: no Wi-Fi. A detail that invites you to truly unplug, talk, smile, and enjoy the pleasure of dining without distractions.
If you pass by Padre Pio, stop by "C'era una Volta": you'll find excellent food, a sincere welcome, and people who do their job with all their heart.
We will definitely return... to visit Padre Pio and embrace our friends from "C'era una Volta." Because some places aren't just visited: they're kept in your heart. ❤️ Greetings from Friends Harley Davidson

A pleasant discovery, with polite and professional staff, fresh appetizers, truly delicious pasta, and excellent meat. A restaurant that doesn't force you to eat a tourist menu, so you can choose what you want. Everything is fresh and delicious. Definitely worth returning.

Found through a trustworthy word of mouth, and they weren't lying. Excellent food, friendly and welcoming, and a constant but discreet presence from all the staff. They recommend local produce without pushing you too far. What can I say? Excellent overall, and oh yes, the price is also great! I can only recommend it! It's right in the historic center, you can't go wrong!

In the magical and spiritual village of Pietrelcina, we discovered this family-run trattoria, with a refined atmosphere and excellent food. We had the pleasure of meeting and being served by Antonio, a thoughtful man who offers excellent advice on the dishes...a truly lovely place. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience at the "C'era una volta" restaurant in Pietrelcina. Perfect location just a few meters from the church. Angelo, the owner, and his staff were friendly, kind, and professional. Extensive menu. Varied appetizers with cured meats, cheeses, and a few surprises: polenta with mushrooms and a stuffed artichoke, and escarole served with capers (a delicacy). Generous first courses: ravioli with tomato sauce, gnocchi with cherry tomatoes and burrata. We didn't order second courses because the portions were generous. We ordered another stuffed artichoke. Everything was excellent. Recommended.

At "C'era una volta" there's warmth, courtesy, and hospitality.
We ate wonderfully and were pampered by everyone.
Especially by Antonio, who kindly made sure everything was fine.
A family-run restaurant...where they make you feel at home.
Thank you so much ❤️
