Unassuming exterior and interior. Easily passed by. The food was good (one had cod and the other lamb). The most delicious Panna cotta so far. The service was attentive to the situation the whole time. The restaurant seemed to be popular with locals. On May Day Eve -26 the only tourists R&J

We stumbled upon this trattoria by chance. The outside wasn't particularly impressive, but given the time, we decided to go inside. Once through the small pergola and inside, we found ourselves immersed in an atmosphere of times gone by, intimate and captivating. The two small rooms had large, well-spaced tables, a classic table setting, and were immaculately clean. The friendly and courteous staff subsequently proved attentive, fast, and professional. Opening the menu, the real surprises began: both meat and fish, presented in a traditional yet unconventional manner and presented with a certain "choreography" on the plates. We began with the appetizers: chicory with fava bean purée and crusty bread, appetizing in its simplicity, and asparagus flan with crispy pancetta and Parmesan fondue, a truly exciting "palette" of flavors for the palate. Next came Lucanian-style involtini, perfectly cooked, for the quality of the ingredients, and for the flavor of the tomato that pleasantly enveloped everything. The grilled beef tagliata with coarse salt and rosemary confirmed the attention to ingredients and the skill of the kitchen; the side dishes, baked potatoes and sautéed chicory, were splendidly reminiscent of grandmothers' cooking. The wine list was extensive and unpretentious, with a national flavor, including a number of rosé wines; the bread basket was interesting with its various baked goods, some original, but the presentation could use more attention. Congratulations!!!
It's true that "the habit doesn't make the man"; just one piece of advice to everyone: GO, don't miss out! We'll definitely be back to try the artichoke ravioli with Lucanian black pork cheek and Moliterno pecorino fondue, the beef cheek braised in Aglianico wine and mashed potatoes, and the ricotta mousse with caramelized figs and almond crumble. We'll be back again to discover other gems from this treasure trove of Lucanian cuisine. Braised!

Excellent restaurant serving Lucanian cuisine. We've been there a couple of times and plan to return given its proximity. It offers various vegetarian options. The lamb cheek and spaghetti with ragu are highly recommended. The chicory tart with fava bean puree and the chestnut tortelli are also very good. Peperoni cruschi are TOP!

A place you wouldn't expect, with friendly staff and generations of passion. A braised meat that melts in your mouth. Try the sun-dried peppers, eaten like chips. A true Lucanian delight!

Convenient location; the outdoor seating isn't particularly attractive, but it's practical, as it's directly on the Via Emilia. Outdoor seating is available in the summer. Friendly, helpful, and courteous staff. Traditional Lucanian cuisine with some Emilian options. Good, high-quality food, generous portions. The decor is a bit dated, but that's not out of place; in fact, it gives it a historic feel. The small window overlooking the kitchen also gives it a homey feel. We'll definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu, which is slightly different from the one published on the website, giving you the opportunity to discover new dishes.

Amazing place. Not being local, we weren't familiar with it, and the exterior didn't suggest anything refined. However, the interior harks back to the old trattorias of the 1970s, which have remained unchanged over time: clean and yet welcoming. The real highlight is the food and the service, both excellent: delicious and up-to-date Apulian cuisine, served and explained with skill and great courtesy. Congratulations, and I hope to see you again.
