08/03/2026: We met the owners by chance last summer, one morning by the sea. When they mentioned this trattoria, saying "Yes, but how many people are there," my wife almost thought it was a direct question, asking how many of us there were.
The restaurant was described to us as a genuine place, with the flavors of times gone by. Intrigued, after about six months, today, I finally managed to go.
I can say that every word the owner said that morning by the sea wasn't just a boast about his business, but an authentic reality. A unique place, difficult to describe, because nowadays it's increasingly rare to truly describe and rediscover the flavors of times gone by. Perhaps the only phrase that could convey the idea is "exquisiteness in simple flavors."
Signora Lucia holds in her hands the gift of tradition and ancient, authentic flavors. Everything is homemade, with a unique and delicate flavor.
Fair and honest prices.
Warm and welcoming staff: the owners, husband and wife, make you feel at home.
It's definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.
15/02/2026: "Si ma quant sit?" is a welcoming tavern, starting from the moment you call to make a reservation.
Managed professionally, efficiently, and with a family atmosphere by Raffaele and Lucia, the restaurant continues the tradition of Mr. Raffaele's family, historic tavern keepers on the State Road 19 since the time of the Bourbons.
The dishes, lovingly prepared by Lucia and described with historical richness and pride by Raffaele, showcase local products. Everything speaks of the Alburni region, from the grains used to make the pasta by hand, to the bottled tomato sauce, local cured meats and cheeses, as well as the meat, wine, and vegetables, always incredibly fresh.
I stumbled upon it once by chance, returning from a walk through the surrounding villages. It was 2:30 PM, home was still far away, but I was very hungry. After calling other places, with the kitchen already closed or the tables taken, I called here and Raffaele replied, "Si ma quant sit?" "And he told us we could arrive whenever we wanted and we'd definitely eat.
Since then, I've been back often, each time with more people, and we're always welcomed like a big family of friends. And we always eat great.
There's ample parking, quick service, and reasonable prices. The trattoria is located along the SS19, so it's very easy to get to.
