Pink Panther In Paduli

Amazed… We're from Naples but have a house in Guardia Sanframondi, and during the "Sannio Tra Sapori e Folklore" festival, where over 40 Pro Loco organizations from the Sannio region were present, we decided to stop by. After a look, we noticed that the festival menu didn't include what we wanted, so we opted to have a pizza to our liking at this place. As soon as we arrived, Mr. Paolo called the staff to help us get settled, and the very friendly and courteous waiter showed us where we were and took our order. We asked for a fried pizza (calzone) and a plain pizza with ham and mushrooms. The fried pizza was divine and was definitely cooked in very clean oil, because instead of smelling of fried food, it smelled of fresh oil, and it was just the right amount of golden brown, not burnt brown. The other pizza was excellent, with plenty of exceptional and flavorful fior di latte. With two draft beers, one 0.20 and one 0.30, we spent €16.00. We were shocked because we would certainly have paid over €20 elsewhere, but we recommend putting at least a paper tablecloth on the table and charging for service. There were two bathrooms, both spotlessly clean. The restaurant has an indoor dining room next to the bar, an indoor patio with plenty of tables, and an outdoor space on the sidewalk. It also serves grilled meats and rotisserie. Paolo told us he's a former rugby player; in fact, the walls of the indoor dining room are decorated with hundreds of photos of his playing days and memories of a friend of his who passed away. Highly recommended.
