An Italian-French restaurant in Sorbo Serpico
We happened upon this delightful restaurant by chance on the August bank holiday. To our surprise, we discovered that the owners and chef are both Italian and French. We sat down and were surrounded by great hospitality, in an oasis of tranquility, courtesy, and kindness.
The food was delicious and well-prepared, with just the right amount of flavor, and in a general context that emphasizes the use of salt, it allowed the flavors of the ingredients to shine through without altering their taste.
I really enjoyed the escargots, which are hard to find in Italy. I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect blend of gorgonzola and porcini mushrooms, which allowed you to appreciate the flavor of pasta cooked just right al dente.
The filet mignon was also excellent, with a mustard sauce that was well-balanced in flavor and saltiness.
For dessert: we expected the crème brûlée, which is on the menu, but unfortunately it wasn't available. The baba we were served was a bit disappointing, both for the little-to-no rum-based syrup and the unusual plating, with honey and sprinkles (!)
We discovered they also make fondue, and we've made plans to return to try it.
A pleasant experience, with light and easily digestible dishes. Highly recommended.

Very special location, well-kept and welcoming in the center of the small village of Sorbo Serpico (AV), Italian-French chef who offers good quality dishes with a French touch, nice owner, kind and attentive to customers. Excellent value for money.

Surprisingly, I discovered this little place by word of mouth. Great experience, the place is warm and welcoming. The menu is not too long, which I appreciated, although every dish makes you want to try it. A very fair compromise also in price. I highly recommend it.

Italian-French tavern in the heart of upper Irpinia. Welcoming and relaxing environment, owner (French), very polite and elegant. Menu with quality raw materials and well cooked, pre
adequate amounts, not excessive. Overall an experience worth repeating, to taste the French cheese fondue and the escargot..
Update: previous experience not published by mistake, so I'll add directly.
We went again this evening to Osteria Brancaccio, I can only confirm what I said previously and that is, decidedly excellent cuisine, original in tastes and presentation, certainly "uncommon" but not pretentious. Welcoming environment, for those who have been to Paris a few times, not an imitation but absolute originality (French owners and chef). Also try escargot, what can I say... an experience. The agnolotti amatriciana and the Mediterranean cod are excellent. Too bad we didn't try the creme brulee, but we'll be back for this too. Finally.....I forgot....French music in the background. Absolutely worth visiting

A very pleasant discovery. The traditions of Irpinia cuisine combined with French culinary culture. A good combination and an excellent idea. Excellent quality raw materials. Congratulations and good luck for the courage shown to the Francoirpine family of the new owners
