La Petra In Castelfranci

An authentic gem in the heart of Irpinia In the picturesque village of Castelfranci, in the heart of the Aglianico and Taurasi wine region, lies a small, great osteria worth discovering: Osteria La Petra. A place where traditional cuisine meets creativity, and hospitality is an integral part of the experience. As soon as you're seated, you're greeted with a warm turmeric and mint pizzillo, a welcome that speaks to the soul of the place: authentic flavors, refined through simplicity and seasonality. The true star of the kitchen is chef Natalina, who offers dishes that speak of local tradition and passion. Her seasonal first course—paccheri with zucchini flowers and porcini mushrooms—is a small masterpiece: masterfully balanced flavors, the freshest ingredients, and a preparation that highlights the natural goodness of the ingredients. The appetizers speak of Irpinia in every bite, with a selection that changes according to availability and season. Each dish is carefully crafted but never contrived: you can sense the "natural cuisine" that is Natalina's hallmark, transforming simple ingredients into genuine emotions. Enhancing the experience is the host, Michele, a genuine and friendly character, who with his wit and spontaneity creates a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. Between one joke and another, he leads guests on a tasty journey through local wines, recommending excellent labels such as Aglianico di Castelfranci and, of course, Taurasi, the pride of this region. In short, Osteria La Petra is a true osteria, in the truest sense of the word. A place where you eat excellently, feel good, and want to return. A little corner of Irpinia that deserves to be experienced, savored, and shared.

Excellent tavern, the food was excellent. Genuine products with an exceptional flavour. Highly recommended for maccaronara lovers! Good quality, price.

We went to this Osteria for a Sunday lunch with a group of friends linked by a passion for Avellino Calcio. There were 28 of us between adults and children, Michele welcomed us into his restaurant and let us taste the authenticity of his cuisine. Simple, plentiful and excellently prepared dishes. We tried: Antipasto, the famous Maccarona, Pappardelle with porcini mushrooms and baked kid with potatoes. All truly exceptional, highly recommended. Go Wolves :)

Siamo stati in questa Osteria per un pranzo domenicale con un gruppo di amici legati dalla passione per l'Avellino Calcio. Eravamo in 28 tra adulti e bambini, Michele ci accolto nel suo locale facendoci assaggiare la genuinità della sua cucina. Piatti semplici, abbondanti e ottimamente preparati. Noi abbiamo provato: Antipasto, la famosa Maccarona, le Pappardelle ai funghi porcini e il capretto al forno con le patate. Tutto davvero eccezionale, consigliatissimo. Forza Lupi :-)

Rustic, nice place. Well cooked food. Questionable service, long waiting times.

Non mi delude mai! Buono , semplice e gustoso.locale piccolo ma pulito ( vedi i bagni)solitamente apprezzo un posto per quello che mangio e, preferisco sempre le stesse pietanze.
