09/12/2025: We just had lunch at this restaurant. All I can say is that between the location, the service (the staff are super friendly), and the food, it was a truly memorable experience. We had two first courses (Sea and Shell and Seafood Gnocchi), both unique for their distinct flavors and textures, and they were sublime! The two second courses (Umami Vesuvian and Genovese) were beautifully presented, very unique, and delicious. In my opinion, they were slightly less delicious than the first courses. In addition to the two first courses and second courses (modest quantities), we had a bottle of wine, two coffees, and a homemade dessert (huge). They also served us a welcome appetizer and two small samples of two other desserts. The total was €100. Considering the food we ate, the research, and the quality of the products, the price is fair.
Another note in their favor:
The bathroom is downstairs, but the disabled access and baby changing table are on the same floor as the dining room.
That said, I can't recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes, including the pizzas, which, like everything else on the menu, looked unique yet authentic.
P.S.: The service is impeccable; the two guys are extremely polite and knowledgeable about everything. They definitely give that extra something that makes all the difference!
21/11/2025: Today I had the pleasure of dining at Portariva, a restaurant in Avella that surprises every day with the originality of its dishes and the chef's meticulous attention to detail. I found the staff generally very courteous and helpful. With each course, they took care to explain the history and flavors of the dish just served, ensuring an unforgettable experience. I'd like to end with a special mention for Michela, the owner; she's incredibly kind and professional. I highly recommend her.
