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 ❤️

I had dinner as a couple on Saturday, April 25th and 26th... Truly nothing to complain about, a warm welcome, attentive, friendly yet discreet management. They let me go down to the cellar to choose a wine even though it wasn't open. We ate excellent appetizers (mostly cured meats. I especially loved the salami, but also the polenta with mushrooms). For the main course, we tried the steak, on the recommendation. Truly delicious. It melted in your mouth. The two of us devoured it, even spluttering the bone. Excellent experience. Highly recommended!

I visited them today. The staff were always helpful and cheerful, which is rare these days. The food was excellent, from appetizers to main courses, everything was perfect. Congratulations.
We'll definitely be back.
