Tonight we dined at this restaurant in Pietrelcina. It was our first time there. I had booked well in advance because, as everyone knows, it's best to do so on a Saturday, and I have to say, everything was perfect. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted very kindly and seated right away. The restaurant is entirely made of stone, very welcoming, tastefully decorated, and they even have a stunning wine cellar. It's a family-run business, and they're truly wonderful and professional people who immediately put everyone at ease. Antonio served us, and not only was he very friendly but also knew how to recommend what to eat. We ordered fusilli with tomato sauce and sausage, but before they arrived, he delighted us with a taste of rustic focaccia, which practically disappeared immediately. The fusilli were delicious; the ingredients were excellent, cooked to perfection. The portions were so generous that we only ordered a Chianina burger and fries afterwards... What can I say: top-quality meat, cooked to perfection. All washed down with two glasses of Aglianico! Dessert was also included: hazelnut and coconut truffle and nougat dessert. To finish, a bitter liqueur and a grappa. We were very satisfied; they deserve a solid 10 out of 10! Five stars is not enough. If you find yourself in Pietrelcina, go there; it's worth it!

We stopped by chance, passing through Pietrelcina, and were truly impressed. At C'era una volta, we found exceptional food: freshly delivered buffalo mozzarella, top-quality meat, and a creamy pastiera with a simply indescribable flavor. An experience definitely worth repeating.

During our visit to Pietrelcina, we discovered a true gem: the trattoria "C'era una volta." The restaurant is simply beautiful, housed in a traditional stone building that creates a warm, authentic, and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for immersing yourself in the local tradition.
The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and very friendly. They passionately guided us through our menu choices, recommending some truly exceptional specialties that made the experience even more special.
Everything was accompanied by an excellent wine from their cellar, which deserves a special mention: it's truly extensive and packed with labels, capable of satisfying every taste and showcasing the dishes to perfection.
A place where you eat well, drink well, and above all, feel welcomed. If you're passing through Pietrelcina, stopping here is almost a must. Highly recommended!
