Hostaria De Sancti Martini In Monteforte irpino

A simply extraordinary experience at Hostaria De Sancti Martiri. The appetizer was a true gem: a carefully crafted tasting menu, surprising with every bite. Authentic flavors, refined pairings, and the quality of the ingredients is immediately apparent. Each course tells a story, with a perfect balance between tradition and creativity. Making everything even more special was the professionalism of Paolo, the waiter: attentive, friendly, and always available, he guided us with discretion and expertise throughout the experience. Impeccable service and a welcoming atmosphere complete an experience absolutely worth experiencing. A place that captivates and makes you want to return. Highly recommended!

Very nice and well-kept place. I was waiting for a party and wasn't sure what to expect. I'll definitely return to try the menu.

Excellent food and even more excellent service!

We tried appetizers and first courses: delicious!

A unique welcome from the start, homemade and genuine food, spectacular setting, very fair price for what we ate

This osteria fascinated me so much, excellent service, well-balanced and tasty food, and a truly wonderful atmosphere. This osteria is a beautiful and peaceful place, perfect for a peaceful lunch or dinner.

Recommended by some friends and colleagues, I decided to go with my wife. It fully met my already high expectations (since my friends had raved about it). The restaurant is located near Monteforte Castle and enjoys a truly breathtaking panoramic view. After parking near the restaurant (there are limited spaces, but you can park in the lot adjacent to the castle), we walked 50 meters down an alley between some houses to the restaurant. The entrance is unusual (a small iron and glass door) but charming, giving it the feel of a rustic restaurant. Once inside, the feeling from outside is perfectly reflected in the rustic atmosphere, featuring exposed stone and matching furnishings. The waiter (very kind and knowledgeable) welcomes us and explains the menu and wine list. After the welcome entree (ricotta meatball with chopped walnuts and chestnut honey), we moved on to the hot appetizer, which consisted of a series of very tasty and well-prepared small dishes (I've attached photos). I also ordered a platter of cold cuts and cheeses (because I wanted to complement the appetizer with the cold cuts). Moving on to the first course, I ordered a ricotta and truffle ravioli with truffle cream, while my wife opted for a fusillo with provolone, mushrooms, hazelnuts, and chopped hazelnuts. Both dishes were very good, flavorful, and filling. For the second course, we opted for a pork fillet with potatoes, hazelnuts, and chestnut honey. The pairing with honey made the dish very tasty; the salty contrast created by the meat and the flavor of the hazelnuts combined with the sweetness of the honey was a wonderful discovery. We didn't order dessert because we were sure they also prepared desserts, but the waiter told us they only had the classics (truffle, cheesecake, tiramisu, and others) pre-packaged, so we decided not to order it. Overall, the place is very nice, the food was excellent, and the price (€130, in line with the quality of the food, the service, and the location) was reasonable. I will definitely be back.

Excellent food, impeccable service, absolutely worth a visit.
