On a Sunday trip not far from our home we find ourselves in the beautiful town of Campagna (Sa), a wonderful historic center crossed by a river, among the various places we decided to have lunch at PICCOLA OSTERIA ZENA, a pleasant surprise to say the least, a family-run place, where the owner welcomed us pleasantly and with great kindness also because we had not booked. We sat down and immediately noticed a very well-kept and clean room, we chose to start with the appetizer and we immediately understood that in the various courses we were dealing with products of true quality, simple but ingenious and tasty combinations, which reflect the Campania tradition and above all typical of the place "the Eggplant Subposto is truly exquisite".... Let's move on to a tasting of the first course, "Matassa con Fagioli", a typical first course of the place, immediately we cannot help but note that the pasta is handmade, a simple recipe as a "pasta and beans" may seem but which contains in its simplicity a dish of true flavour... truly worth tasting and recommending.... a varied and typical first course proposal... for the second course we choose a grilled steak with potatoes, we can only say "Exquisite", truly great quality of the raw material, perfect cooking, it is served on a very very nice wooden cutting board. We closed the lunch with a truly exquisite and well-made pastiera... What can we say... congratulations to the owners who offered us an excellent culinary experience... we dealt with really well-mannered people who welcomed us with empathy and kindness without being too intrusive with a precise and attentive service... truly excellent quality of food, even the final bill was truly surprising for what we ate (thanking the owner again for the discount he gave us).... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We will definitely be back!

An experience to relive. We were welcomed with a smile in an intimate and elegant environment where you immediately felt a feeling of tradition and innovation. Excellent food but everything was seasoned by the friendliness and the many attentions we received. There is little to say: people always make the difference and in this case it is the people who add another star to the five.

Very nice place, the owner is a very good person who cares a lot about making customers feel good, exceptional appetizers, classic but completely revisited foods. Delicious fresh pasta. Very fair price even low for how you eat

A wonderful experience, it's not like going to a simple restaurant, rather it's much more a real experience. The owners are very helpful and we will definitely return. I recommend this place not only to my family and friends but also to you who are reading this review. The food is really delicious, even the meat is of excellent quality, worth trying. Truly excellent product quality, I'm really happy to have discovered this place.

We found ourselves in this tavern by pure chance, where we didn't expect to eat delicacies, quality of the products, the owner a kind and very welcoming person. It was all great! We will be back.
P.s. Exceptional price.

I, very naively, thought I had tried everything in the world but I was wrong.
In Campagna, a small town in Campania, but great in many things, I have been on a pilgrimage to dine at Osteria Zena for three months. It is impossible to describe the delicacy of their sensational vegetarian and vegan starters and main courses. Delicacy and quality in abundance; The ricotta from Paestum, for example, is to die for. Delicious aubergines, local mozzarella. The cook is simply brilliant and the service from the owner is friendly and excellent. The recommended wine pairs beautifully. La Piccola Osteria Zena is actually a fantastic restaurant. Absolutely recommended.

Io, ingenuo, pensavo di aver provato tutto al mondo ma mi sbagliavo. A Campagna, piccolo paese campano, ma grande in tante cose, sono tre mesi già pellegrino a cenare all'Osteria Zena. Impossibile descrivere la delicatezza dei loro sensazionali antipasti e secondi piatti vegetariani. Delicatezza e qualità in abbondanza; La ricotta di Paestum, per esempio, da morire. La cuoca è semplicemente geniale. Il vino si accompagna adeguatamente. La Piccola Osteria Zena è in realtà un fantastico ristorante. Assolutamente consigliato.

Cucina ricercata e moderna senza perdere di vista troppo la tradizione, materie prime di ottima qualità e cucinate con grande attenzione e impegno, una delle portate che prevedeva il Baccalà a mio avviso si faceva apprezzare particolarmente appunto per l'estrema attenzione nel cucinare il Baccalà al vapore. Servizio buono, ma un pochino troppo risicato come numero di collaboratori. Ambienti arredati con gusto moderno ed in ordine. Location esterna apprezzabile. L'impressione è che migliorerà ancora in quanto ho notato molta motivazione e passione.

Very good and first choice food. I have never eaten cod so good both for the quality of the product and the way it was cooked. Traditional food with the addition of innovation given by a great passion and love for work in the kitchen. Highly recommended
