Guest, it's the menu of the day... the steel cheese holder doesn't fit the place. A sprinkling of freshly grated cheese is better, given the busy waiters.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at the Pater Familias restaurant in Paternopoli. Its striking stone walls create a welcoming and visually striking atmosphere. The management, led by a competent and knowledgeable owner, is reflected in every detail, from the service to the customer care.
Kudos to the entire staff for their professionalism. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special place with excellent cuisine near Paternopoli.

Pater Familias Restaurant, named the best Irpinian restaurant by the television program Quattro Ristoranti, is located on the highest point of Paternopoli, nestled among perfect rows of vineyards and majestic olive trees.
The elegant decor deliberately contrasts with the pleasantly rustic atmosphere. Here, you can enjoy traditional Irpinian dishes, infused with the aromas of truffles, cheese, Neapolitan basil, and handmade pasta.
I recommend this welcoming temple of food.

A charming restaurant, built entirely of stone, offering an authentic and charming, almost timeless atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed by the owner Francesco, who passionately explained the history and unique features of this medieval-style restaurant.
Chef Antonio delighted us with exquisite dishes, meticulously prepared down to the smallest detail, even in their presentation. Each course was a culinary experience.
The service was impeccable: the waiters were attentive, friendly, and always available.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking good food, a warm atmosphere, and an authentic welcome. We'll definitely be back!

One of the best experiences I've ever had in Irpinia. I booked this restaurant for a birthday, organizing everything over the phone with the owner. I'd never been their guest before, but it was recommended. The restaurant is beautiful, in a historic building. It was cool even without air conditioning, even though it was 35 degrees Celsius. The lunch was excellent, unique and traditional at the same time. My guests were all delighted, and the wait staff was attentive to everyone's needs. Recommended.

A restaurant that exudes passion and history, the owner took us on a tour of the ancient building in which the restaurant is located and dining surrounded by that environment was wonderful.
Very high level cuisine and at a more than fair price, very friendly staff and owner who know how to put you at ease.
Overall an experience that is worth it.
Be careful because you have to book in advance.
