il Parnaso In Castellabate

Absolutely amazing dinner. The host, chefs and owners are absolutely amazing. They treated us like family. When we come back to Italy from New York again. We will definitely be back. Try this place out and ask for Constantine and Mario. We are going to miss you guys. Take care Bill and Rosemary

A MUST go-to if you are in the area. The best food and service in town. I would’ve payed more without hesitation. 10/10 on the portnoy scale !!!

Motivated by the desire to eat typical Cilento cuisine, avoiding the coastal restaurants, I decided to head up to Castellabate, intrigued by the reviews of this beautiful restaurant. First of all, the restaurant is spacious, well-furnished, and has a terrace overlooking Castellabate and the sea. We were welcomed by the owner Costantino, who entertained us with his warmth and affability, offering us suggestions for what to eat. We opted for the excellent eggplant meatballs and the equally exceptional vegetable trio. He then recommended the first course, featuring fresh pasta made by his wife. We chose the fusilli with Cilento ragù and the tonnarelli with anchovies and tomato, both delicious. For the second course, we tried the roast sausage with matagliata potatoes, all washed down with an excellent Aglianico wine. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. I really appreciated the menu, both the design and the messages conveyed: warnings for parents of children, but above all the firm and precise commitment to serving authentic Cilento cuisine, banning all contaminations (as you can see from the photo and the menu). In conclusion, I highly recommend this wonderful experience to anyone passionate about culinary tradition. Pay attention to the GPS directions, as they often indicate a dirt road that should not be used under any circumstances.

Authentic Cilento food: the owner Costantino is a friendly person but strict about what he offers his customers. Don't ask for strange preparations outside of his menu... no dogs... no children with parents who have badly raised their children, no Coca-Cola, peaches in the wine, etc. After all, as far as cooking goes, he knows his stuff... the food is divinely Cilento.

A little pricey...but excellent hospitality, top-notch ingredients, and a very friendly owner. Superb view.

Here Cilento comes to life on your plate: every bite is a journey down memory lane, a journey into the true heart of this beautiful land!!!

A perfect dinner... returning after 12 years (with two children) and eating excellent, carefully prepared, and authentic food. Excellent service, very attentive to the customer's well-being. We will definitely be back.

Panoramic restaurant with a superb view of the valley and the sea. Warm welcome, attentive service, hearty, authentic and oh-so-delicious dishes! For a moment, I thought I was in my grandmother's kitchen.

An experience to repeat thanks Costantino you are a great and beautiful person and thanks to Pasquale for all your advice

Abbiamo cenato qui due sere di seguito. Il locale è accogliente e la terrazza con vista golfo di San Marco e castello dell’abate è meravigliosa. Ci accoglie il titolare, Costantino, che dietro un apparente aria burbera nasconde una simpatia intelligente, sarcastica e tanta disponibilità. Abbiamo mangiato i piatti del territorio, i fusilli fatti in casa con il ragù Cilentano(spaziale) gnocchi di semola con i fiori di zucca, tonnarelli con le alici. Le alici fritte, m’buttunate(imbottite) e marinate, le melanzane le verdure del loro orto. Due cene di grande soddisfazione culinaria. Il servizio è attento ed il rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo. Torneremo di certo. PS. Costantino? Però un televisiore…..  Saluti
