Da Giovanni In Lauria

We were passing through and found ourselves in this restaurant by chance. We were looking for a typical place, without too many tourists and where the cuisine and flavors were still authentic. A very kind lady welcomes us and lets us sit...I immediately go back in time and the kindness of the waitresses makes me feel at home straight away. The menu is dictated to us orally and this particularly surprised us because we heard how they still want to maintain the Tradition! (today most waiters don't even know what the kitchen offers because they have this QR as a menu..) We order ... and we have a hard time choosing because everything seems wonderful since it's all made by hand! the house wine was excellent and the dishes, once they arrived, took us back in time, authentic, real, delicious flavours! Not to mention that they also offered us a bruschetta with fresh mushrooms which was EXCEPTIONAL! Everything was delicious besides being surprised at the cost of lunch... we had half a glass of wine, 2 first courses (one of which was with fresh mushrooms), 1 exceptional second course, water and 2 coffees at the modest price of 40 euros! We were amazed by this too! I have Lucanian origins and I felt like I was truly going back in time and it fills my heart to see how today there are still those who count on tradition! We highly recommend and if we were to return, Da Giovanni will now be a fixed stop! Thanks to all the staff!

Serene and peaceful environment, polite and helpful service. The place may not be the most elegant in the world, but it is comfortable and clean (even the toilets, and this is not something to be taken for granted). As soon as we entered the room, an efficient air conditioner was turned on; very welcome attention. The service was quick, attentive (I am a vegetarian and I was accommodated without problems). But above all the food, which in a restaurant is what really matters: everything is excellent, tasty, tasty. Average prices.

To my Americans, if you find yourself anywhere near this place, do yourself a tremendous favor and have dinner. The staff is incredible and the food surpasses your wildest expectations. They specialize in regional favorites and they will not disappoint. To the staff, thank you for your hospitality and patience with a very confused American that spoke no Italian. Your kindness will not be forgotten.

The food is good but the waitress should be a little more polite. Mr. Giovanni very helpful.

Homely cuisine but a little expensive

Excellent food, very kind staff

Good food. Quick service and good welcome

Si mangia molto bene, bar e ristorante molto puliti. Ottima la materia prima, personale gentile e disponibile. Ci siamo fermati come sosta per andare in Calabria.

It's always a pleasure to come back here. We go almost every year for lunch. The first courses, especially the pappardelle with mushrooms, are a spectacle. Let's not talk about the grilled meat, very tasty. Bread, we haven't had such good bread in a long time. Five of us spent 15 euros each, each one a dish, without dessert and alcohol. Congratulations for everything!

Tutti i piatti davvero buoni. Personale veloce e disponibile. Possibilità di parcheggio nelle immediate vicinanze. Prezzi nella media.
