Il Giardino di Epicuro In Maratea

03/05/2026: Amazing food and service, we had the best time

01/05/2026: Forentum Restaurant is one of the best in Basilicata for food. I enjoyed everything, from the homemade bread and taralli to the dessert. The appetizer, however, was a bit small and detracts from the good value for money of the rest of the meal. The only downside is that everyone at the other tables, except us, were offered a welcome plate of bread meatballs on caciocavallo fondue (some also received a glass of sparkling wine). Furthermore, the owner spilled the wine, making the table very wet, but she didn't apologize or even try to clean it up. I had to ask the older waiter to kindly wipe it away. I must say they made up for it with a complimentary lemon curd at the end. Overall, the food was very good, but the service was more biased toward acquaintances than strangers, something I've read in other reviews. Overall, it's a lovely place that's definitely worth a visit. Best of luck with your new place!
