Osteria Varanalle In Ariano irpino

Last night my wife and I had dinner at this restaurant. We were greeted by the owner (I presume), a very kind man. He explained the preparation of the dishes very professionally, and thanks to his advice on the meat, I rediscovered old-fashioned flavors. I hope to return; I forgot to mention the final bill—another plus: the prices are lower for the quality of the ingredients.

A magnificent experience: culinary, courteous, and relaxing. Four of us arrived for lunch and were warmly welcomed by the owner, who served us with excellent advice while maintaining a rare discretion that we greatly appreciated. The menu was challenging due to the wide selection of inviting dishes. Also noteworthy is the attentiveness with which one of our guests was able to accommodate celiac disease. The timing was very appreciated; even though we ordered different dishes, the staff ensured that we all ate the various courses together. Even though we had requested two glasses of wine, the bottle was left at the table, a gesture we greatly appreciated, even though we didn't drink more than two glasses. The experience was fantastic, and we were also satisfied with the bill, as with the quality we expected a little more. We couldn't help but express our deep gratitude and ask others to follow their example.

Quiet place, warm welcome, excellent food with a variety of dishes—not the usual "Italian antipasto," but innovative options, with good first courses, excellent second courses, and desserts, all at reasonable prices. The owner's service is excellent, and they make you feel pampered. We'll definitely be back.

The best gastronomic experience in Italy. The place isn't listed in the main guidebooks, but it's well worth the trip. We were served by Mr. Raffaello, who was so kind and attentive to the smallest details. Afterwards, we made a point of meeting Chef Antonietta, who surprised us with every appetizer, every main course, every dessert. A sensational panoramic view. I would go back 10 times if I could. Taking this memory of Italy with me with fondness.

Simply the best experience we had in all of Italy! Rafaelo's service is the epitome of friendliness. We opted for the tasting menu and the experience was simply fantastic. The appetizers were delicious and the main courses, typical of the region, surprised us! To finish, the desserts were original and fantastic! The wine was a Torre Vento from the Puglia region, 2010, simply magnificent! Don't miss it when you're in this region! ❤️❤️

We had a wonderful meal. Incredible service, delicious local produce, and a high-quality, refined presentation. I highly recommend this charming restaurant if you're in the area. Thank you to the manager who gave us such a warm welcome.

Quality dishes with special combinations... ginger, paprika, currants etc... Kind and helpful staff to compose an ad hoc menu according to taste and needs!

Excellent quality/price ratio. The meat is treated with care and is a good choice
