Donna Nela In Polistena

A fantastic culinary experience, complemented by a fabulous outdoor setting and impeccable, friendly service. We started with a "donna nela" appetizer accompanied by fried gnocco, followed by two excellent first courses: trofie aioli and pacchero. The second courses were equally delicious: pork rolls stuffed with eggplant and tartare. All washed down with an excellent bottle of red wine. The dessert was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic service for our difficult group today - not all attendees wanting all courses and no one speaking any Italian! Fantastic service, food and wine. Would recommend to anyone visiting this area.

Family atmosphere and excellent food.

I rarely write reviews, I'm sorry that you can only give 5 stars, it deserves more, excellent quality of raw materials, as well as their preparation, excellent value for money, qualified, polite and kind staff, welcoming and well-kept place, prices in line with other restaurants of the same kind and with today's times.

Excellent service, well trained staff, excellent cuisine

All very good, high end location but with very reasonable prices! Excellent quality/price ratio

Welcoming place, very kind owners and impeccable service… I have been coming to Polistena from Turin since I was born, and not even in Turin have I found such attention, especially towards children… many raw materials are local and the menu is truly complete and varied. Excellent quality but above all everything is really good! In addition to the restaurant, a great wine shop… those who know how to work and do it with passion also transmit it in the food, and here it shows!!! Congratulations!

Donna Nela is one of those rare places that can truly be called "of the heart". I have been frequenting this little gastronomic jewel for years, yet every visit manages to surprise me as if it were the first time. Hidden from the daily hustle and bustle, the place is intimate and welcoming, with an atmosphere that immediately invites you to relax. It is precisely this intimate dimension that contributes to making you feel at home, a sensation further amplified by the warm welcome of Giampiero and his family. Their genuine passion for catering shines through in every detail, from the attentive service to the sincere smiles that accompany each dish. The cuisine is an authentic triumph of territorial flavours. The meat dishes are prepared with skill, enhancing ingredients selected with obsessive care. Even the vegetable proposals reveal the same attention to raw materials and processing techniques, always proving tasty and never banal. What truly leaves you speechless is the cellar: extraordinarily well-stocked and with attention to the smallest details, it offers an oenological proposal of absolute excellence. The suggested pairings perfectly complete the gastronomic experience, elevating it to higher levels. And finally, the most welcome surprise: the bill. Prices are incredibly low considering the quality of the offer, making Donna Nela not only a place to return for the pleasure of the palate, but also for the wisdom of the wallet. If you are looking for an authentic experience, far from passing fads and deeply rooted in true gastronomic culture, Donna Nela is an unmissable destination.

All well done. Both the dishes and the wines were excellent

Excellent meals, very good waitress, very nice and very nice in terms of manners and more. It's worth the stretch.
