07/04/2026: Excellent Easter Monday lunch in Forino
I went to **La Vecchia Casa** for Easter Monday lunch in 2026 and had a very positive experience. Despite the holiday and the packed restaurant, the service was impeccable: the **staff is truly kind** and approachable, they know how to make you feel at ease without too much unnecessary formality.
Moving on to the food, you can taste the quality ingredients behind every dish. We started with the **Mallone**, a classic that they prepare to perfection here: flavorful, balanced, and beautifully presented, combining local tradition with a more refined touch. You can tell they know how to handle local recipes.
The highlight of the meal was the **deconstructed tiramisu**. The idea of serving it with pieces of the moka pot and ladyfingers on the side was very original: besides being fun to assemble, the cream was very fresh and light. It's not your usual "thrown in" dessert, but you can see the thought behind it.
Another strong point is the wine cellar. It's truly well-stocked, with a remarkable selection of labels that allows you to enjoy good drinks at reasonable prices. Ultimately, a place where substance matters more than appearance, ideal for those seeking good Irpinian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. The quality-price ratio is excellent. I'll gladly return.
19/03/2026: I've had the pleasure of dining at La Vecchia Casa several times, and every experience has always lived up to expectations. The quality of the dishes is consistent: fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and evident care in preparation.
The atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, perfect for both a quiet dinner and a social gathering. The service is also distinguished by its friendliness and attentiveness, without being intrusive.
It's one of those places you can always count on: when you want to eat well and be sure of a good meal.
