La Taverna di Zu Cicco In Maratea

Good, very good, see you next time!

The food was good, but the service was downright apathetic. Strange, and this in a place where the people are very friendly and welcoming.

Taverna di ZuCicco in Maratea offers expertly revisited traditional Lucanian cuisine: quality local ingredients, just the right touch of creativity, and excellent value. Two dishes truly stood out in our experience: the roasted caciocavallo with 'nduja, with a bold and perfectly balanced flavor, and the juicy and generous meat skewer—a true delight for lovers of flavorful meat dishes. The portions are generous and fully satisfy the appetite, ideal for a convivial dinner. A tip: instead of the classic French fries, I would suggest serving the skewer with potatoes and cruschi peppers. This would add a touch of authentic Lucanian flavor and make the dish even more distinctive and delicious. In short, a welcoming atmosphere, well-executed local dishes, and excellent ingredients—with just a small upgrade on the side dishes. Highly recommended.

High prices for sufficient service and quality

Typical restaurant with Lucanian delicacies, in the beating heart of Maratea historic center, hidden in a small street a few steps from the main square.. excellent food... kind and polite staff, I highly recommend for everything... characteristic lunch on the street but very private... precisely because hidden from the 'walk' that accompanies the day and evening of Maratea.. beautiful historic center

Suggestive location, excellent quality and well presented food, service to be improved due to the lack of a paper menu and the time it takes for the dishes to come out

Restaurant in the historic center of Maratea. Friendly, attentive and above all fast service. Good food with local and quality products, variety of choice not exactly wide.

Nonostante il titolo "taverna" non ha tavoli all'interno, quindi si mangia nei viottoli adiacenti al ristorante e d'estate a pranzo non si sta' benissimo. Il servizio è codiale ma il menù è troppo limitato ai piatti tipici del posto quindi è bene consultare il menù prima di andarci. C'è da sottolineare che comunque si sono adoperati per modificare una insalata a nostro piacimento che era molto ricca, quello che mi ha deluso è stato il baccalà con i peperoni cruschi che ai me erano duri e per niente cruschi, il baccalà praticamente quasi non pervenuto, infatti il sapore era molto ma molto delicato. Conto Medio alto e 3 € di coperto sono davvero troppi per tovaglietta e tovaglioli di carta.

The welcome is perfect, the owner and staff are attentive, but the spritz drinks are 80% ice cubes, and the dishes served for €18 are really too "light." Too bad...

Lunch and dinner excellent dishes recommended.
