Nonna Adele In Sicignano degli alburni

Nonna Adele's restaurant has long been a landmark for travelers on Highway 19 and local residents. Located right on the main road connecting Campania with Calabria, it has inherited an ancient tradition of taverns that welcomed travelers, offering refreshments and hospitality. The restaurant offers a varied menu of appetizers, first courses, and second courses, all meat-based, along with delicious pizzas. The appetizers offer a rich selection of seasonal vegetables grown on-site and cooked in traditional ways, such as ciambotta, potatoes with cruschi peppers, and mallone, along with frittata, cheeses, and cured meats. The first courses are always fresh and locally produced, such as fusilli and ravioli stuffed with ricotta, lasagna with chickpeas and cruschi peppers, pasta and potatoes, or with seasonal vegetables such as asparagus and squash (available only in spring and summer). The second courses are dominated by meat. You can choose from a variety of options, including sausage or pork ribs, various cuts of veal, and lamb, all perfectly grilled. The vegetable side dishes are locally sourced, carefully grown in the garden located right behind the restaurant. This allows the owners to always offer fresh, flavorful, organic, and seasonal vegetables. Your palate will thank you. The restaurant offers both indoor dining in a large, quiet dining room and a spacious outdoor area, highly recommended for summer refreshment. The surroundings are generally quiet, despite the restaurant being located on a busy street during the day. The staff is well-trained, friendly, quick, and available to accommodate guests' requests. The parking lot is ample, with two areas adjacent to the restaurant and the option of street parking.

Simply exceptional dishes, traditional and expertly prepared. I've never tasted such delicious cured meats, spectacular lagane and chickpeas, and a cheesecake to die for, all excellent value for money.

Very welcoming place, the food was excellent in terms of flavour and quantity, definitely recommended

Welcoming atmosphere, limited choice but quality. We couldn't try the pizza because of the crowd.

Typical Italian Osteria, local cuisine with delicious flavors, warm decor, friendly service. Located in a quiet village along the road.

Good restaurant with home-made food.

The best place in the area, hands down! I'll be blunt: this is my absolute favorite. Mr. Gerardo, the owner, is the soul of the place. It's not uncommon to see him sitting at the tables with customers, chatting and engaging with them. This makes you feel not just a customer, but a guest. The food is top-notch, authentic, and genuine, and the menu offers a variety of dishes that perfectly reflect the region. If you love pizza, you absolutely can't miss Nonna Adele, a simply sensational Cilentana pizza. Just thinking about it makes your mouth water. The appetizers deserve a special mention: a mix of dishes that represent the essence of their land. From ciambotta (peppers, potatoes, and onion) to frittatas, to local cured meats and cheeses... every bite is a journey through authentic flavors. Among the first courses, my favorites are the lagane pasta with chickpeas and the fusilli with house ragù, truly extraordinary. For the second course, I recommend the tagliata with porcini mushrooms and parmesan shavings, served with a balsamic glaze on the side: add it and you'll have an experience that borders on perfection. It's all accompanied by garden salad and Monti Alburni potatoes—real, genuine, not the processed kind. To finish, the house dessert and excellent coffee always end on a high note. The service is impeccable: courtesy, attention, and customer care always come first. Value for money: UNPARALLELED! Rating: 110/110. If you want to take your palate to heaven, Nonna Adele is a must-visit.

A friend recommended it to us, and you can trust friends. It's a delightful place!
