At Trattoria Da Ciccio (L’Altro Impero) in Policoro, the food is truly delicious: fresh fish cooked to perfection, with simple yet extraordinary flavors.
The welcome is what makes the difference: they immediately made us feel at home with samples of fritters and a typical Lucanian soup, a generous gesture steeped in tradition.
A genuine place, where you can breathe the true spirit of the South. Highly recommended and definitely worth returning to!

The trattoria is highly regarded for its authentic cuisine, rooted in the Lucanian region. The appetizers are high-quality and generously portioned.
It's considered excellent, with fair prices for the quality of the food offered.
If you're in Policoro and don't visit this highly recommended restaurant, you'll never know what you've been missing. 😉

The food here is simply INCREDIBLE.
Just saying “buono” is an understatement. Here everything is delicious.
Moreover the service is passionate, kind and always with the right timing, I mean that they take time to explain you the gastronomic secrets of Basilicata without being too much pushy.
Really no words to explain how much everything was perfect.
I’ll be back here every time I can during my trip.
Super advised if you are passing by from this area.

Discovered thanks to TripAdvisor, this trattoria was a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere was warm and familiar, just as you'd expect from a Lucanian restaurant. We tried the cavatelli with black chickpeas and shrimp, the frizzoli with ragù and breadcrumbs, the buffalo mozzarella with cherry tomatoes, and the charcuterie board: everything was delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. The service was courteous and never intrusive. Excellent value for money.
We'll definitely be back! 😊

Paccheri with cicadas, macaroni with ferretto, cod with bruschi peppers, all excellent. We would have liked to try the rest of the menu, but it would have been impossible for four of us. We'll be back on the return trip from Sicily to Milan. I forgot about the Altamura loaf and the berry cheesecake. For four of us, it was the best €75 we spent on our vacation. Excellent!

Traditional cuisine from neighboring towns, updated with a touch of flair and a few twists, partly based on the ingredients found at the market. The preparation is excellent, the flavor is excellent, and the service and presentation are almost impeccable. We'll definitely return! The prices seem appropriate for the quality of the food, as well as the hard work and dedication put into it by the owners and staff.
