La Mangiatoia" In Bernalda

What can I say!!! Fantastic place, and the food is truly delicious! It's become my favorite place! Kudos to the owner, Vito, who is incredibly kind. We'll be back whenever we can! A round of applause also for the fried crusco peppers, which not everyone knows how to make the most of! Crispy and cooked to perfection. I'm giving it 5 stars because I can't give more, but it deserves more! See you next time

On the phone, when you call to make a reservation, Vito answers with a beautiful, clear, and clear voice. When you meet him for the first time at his restaurant, you'll find a passionate, meticulous, and very organized restaurateur in his small, open kitchen, where he reigns supreme. He knows how to guide you through your choices, offering a rich platter of appetizers, enhanced this season with porcini mushrooms (which he himself picks in the Sila mountains), roasted and sliced ​​into carpaccio. The menu also features excellent first courses, just the right number (3), and a wide variety of meats that you can already enjoy with your eyes, all on display in the aging cells or at least displayed at the counter. The wine selection is good. The bill is fair. Thanks Vito, we'll definitely see you again.

Convinced by the good reviews, we decided to try it. Unfortunately, the wait was long and the dishes did not arrive as requested. The staff was absent in the dining room.
