Osteria del Baccalà In Terranova di pollino

Warm and familiar welcome, excellent food but the most beautiful thing is Mrs.'s smile. Mrs Lillina and her husband. A heartfelt thank you from the customers of Gioia del Colle, we will certainly return with great pleasure.

Great place, everyone is friendly starting from the granny who cooks to all the staff

The cod cooked divinely, kindness and courtesy. I recommend it

A nice, characteristic family-run place, with really nice and kind owners, even if they're just meeting you for the first time. The proposed menu is based on the exclusive use of cod declined in various and surprising types. However, the dishes offered are really good, evidence of a real culture of cooking cod.

Excellent cod-based dishes with very delicate courtesy and kindness

Posto stupendo...proprietari gentilissimi e si mangia divinamente

We arrived without booking on the "advice" of the hotelier where we slept because in his restaurant he didn't have anything to prepare for us having "the warehouse empty" due to our lack of half board choice, but we can't stop thanking the chef for letting us meet two people kind, welcoming, available like Mrs. Lillina and her husband. With expert hands she prepared a delicious dinner that was not at all improvised but was the result of that ancient but much maligned sense of hospitality by chatty hosts and then that holding back with sympathy and grace that together with the the goodness of the dishes demands a return...because what more do you want? a Lucanian! was the answer, yes but authentic and genuine (and as good as Mrs. Lillina)

All tastes that don't justify the price. The first one wasn't even brought to us, due to problems related to water but without any discount on the final bill (30 euros each). The second course (cod with cruschi peppers) was always a little taste. The service was terrible, the waitress brought us coffees that we had never ordered, insisting in a not very polite tone on the fact that we had ordered them. From an osteria I would expect more generous portions or at least proportionate to the price.

Top quality food of the highest standard

Piccola trattoria del baccalà, cucinato da Lillina in svariati modi, e ormai da decenni, con il meritato successo. Un tempo, avendo vigna e uliveto, venivano proposte a tavola le loro produzioni, ora il vino, con uve comprate, lo fanno ancora (però così così il Montepulciano della casa portato a tavola), l'olio è del vicino. Lillina, un'oste di straordinaria gentilezza, usa il baccalà come fil rouge della sua cucina, che è buona, semplice, e di territorio. Menù fisso che può essere scomposto: noi ci siamo limitati agli antipasti che da soli valgono un pasto, anche perché le porzioni sono generose: si comincia con l'insalatina di baccalà&peperoni arrosto e la bruschetta di baccalà mantecato, seguono dei buonissimi involtini di melanzane con baccalà e melanzane&baccalà con marmellata di fichi, per finire con baccalà, patate&cipolle al forno e frittelle di baccalà&zucchine! A chiudere frutta fresca e una buona genziana. Conto medio, anche medio-basso considerando la materia prima, che è ovviamente il baccalà.
