Pater Familias In Paternopoli

A truly beautiful restaurant, featuring a splendid ancient stone structure that creates a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The owner, Francesco, gave us a warm welcome and was always present and attentive throughout the evening. Special thanks also to the great chef Antonio, who creates excellent dishes, meticulously prepared in both flavor and presentation. As a celiac, I find it essential to find attention to detail and expertise in preparing gluten-free dishes. I was completely satisfied: everything was excellent, including the delicious birthday cake prepared especially for the occasion. A truly pleasant experience that I highly recommend. I will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Recommended by friends and named best restaurant serving Irpinia cuisine, we decided to try it! An excellent choice, we really enjoyed the food and the owner's hospitality, who explained the history of the building where the restaurant is located and their cuisine. It's a quiet place, where each table has its own private space. I recommend trying the crocchè as an appetizer, the Carmasciano and walnut ravioli as a first course, and the veal stew as a second course.

I found this place very welcoming. The elegance and composure of the whole place makes you feel at ease. Francesco welcomes you with kindness and knowledge, explaining the history of the ancient palace: the paintings by Famiglietti, the ancient kitchen, the rooms below where oil and grain were once stored. In these rooms, you dine, and everyone has their own table in their own room, thus enjoying a certain amount of privacy. The dishes are simple, just as I like them, typical of our cuisine, with a grandmother's flavor but with a modern twist. The ingredients are very fresh and cooked to order. Served by truly helpful and friendly waiters. You can sense the love and commitment they put into it, and I highly recommend going there.

Historic building, excellent food, and the professionalism and courtesy of the manager and employees.

A restaurant in an old building. The owner welcomes you and tells you the story of the building and his family. A beautiful and interesting experience. The dining rooms are welcoming and offer a story to tell. Excellent service, thoughtful and attentive. The dishes are described when you order and recommendations are provided. Tasty food. Excellent wines. Excellent quality and reasonable prices. An experience worth repeating to try other options.

In an early 19th-century building, you dine in the cellars of the building, amidst vaulted ceilings and exposed stone walls. Everything is beautiful and evocative! The owner, Francesco, is incredibly charming.

A beautiful place like few others, worth a visit. The food is traditional and truly delicious. The staff is very friendly.

We were welcomed by Francesco, the owner, who showed us around and gave us a historical overview of the building in which the restaurant is located, a jewel in the crown of Irpinia's culinary scene. The dishes were beautifully presented and tasted superb (kudos to the chef), and what more can we say about the wine? They served us excellent Aglianico, DOC vineyards from those magnificent lands. The waiters were very professional and the service impeccable. I can't wait to return and introduce others close to me to it.
