02/11/2025: When you walk through the doors of Osteria da Ersilia in Perito, in the heart of Cilento, you're not just entering a restaurant: you're entering a family. This is immediately evident from the genuine friendliness of Leo and Ersilia, who welcome you with the communicative and warm spirit of those who truly love what they do. But the magic is revealed on the plate. We started with an aperitif that perfectly whetted the appetite, followed by two first courses that showcase the mastery of the kitchen: anchovies with broccoli, fresh and delicately balanced, and pork ragù, rich with the flavor that only tradition can provide. I won't tell you to choose one over the other—both are worth trying. The second courses are splendid: smoked scamorza cheese placed on lemon leaves is a touch of elegance that never goes amiss, followed by grilled goat cheese that retains just the right amount of creaminess. The fig jam that accompanies everything is the detail that transforms the good into the extraordinary. The organic Aglianico/Cabernet wine proves to be a perfect choice, while the desserts—four cannoncini with ricotta and caramel—provide a sweet and convincing finale. The San Severino Amaro closes everything out with a bold and fragrant note. And the bill? It was completely worth the price, fair and transparent, as it should be. Osteria da Ersilia is more than just a place to visit in Cilento: it's a place to highlight, emphasize, and recommend to anyone who loves good food made with love.
