Locanda Mariacarolì In Sant'anastasia

It's always a sublime experience, the chef deserves a Michelin star.

We visited this inn a few Sundays ago by chance, and it was a wonderful discovery to have such a gem just a few kilometers from home. There were three of us, and as soon as we entered, we were struck by the deliberately old-fashioned ambiance and the warm atmosphere created by the music playing from a 1970s stereo with vinyl 33s by various artists. We were welcomed in a professional yet familiar manner. We felt pampered and cared for, and that was how our journey to discover the flavors of the area through the engagement of all our senses began. We found the tasting menus interesting. We chose the seafood one out of preference. It was a fantastic sensory experience: the aesthetic beauty of the dishes, crafted to the point of artistic perfection, was equaled by the aromas and flavors of the dishes we were served. Flavors were sometimes delicate, sometimes bold; each ingredient on the plate had its own unique flavor. Each course was carefully explained to us, and we found in the dishes the authenticity and simplicity of local products and traditional cuisine expertly presented in an innovative way. Big heart, great expertise, extensive research, lots of local produce, and excellent product quality. A highly recommended experience, definitely worth trying. We will definitely be back.

Excellent restaurant. A luxury to have in Sant'Anastasia. Expert chef, top-quality ingredients, classy service. Special mention for the table setting and the record player with jazz music in the background. Prices (higher than average) commensurate with the exceptional quality.

An experience not to be missed. High-quality cuisine and a fantastic selection of wines. I highly recommend it.
