We went to La Scintilla on a Sunday in September. The place is charming, although its decor is certainly a bit dated, reflecting the family-run (I believe) ownership. The place was packed, a sure sign that the food is good. I ordered the first course pictured, which is supposedly one of the house's signature dishes: "Strangozzi alla Scintilla," fresh pasta with a sublime porcini mushroom and truffle sauce. Spectacular! We followed with a tagliata (arugula and parmesan), which, however, had the flaw of being just arugula and parmesan. Not even two cherry tomatoes added flavor and color, and the lack of balsamic vinegar was especially noticeable. The medium-rare meat was good but a bit too dry; frankly, coming to Serino and not eating a proper tagliata is a crime... aside from that "incident," all the other dishes at the table were to our liking. The service was a bit slow (we ordered at almost 2 PM, and started eating at 3 PM, but the place was packed; that's normal on a Sunday). We'll definitely be back to try other delicacies at this well-worth-it place.

We went to this restaurant that offers 50% off and let's say that everything is good, the food is good, we took a grilled meat and a first course that is not very abundant but good, I took if I'm not mistaken a mix of very good cheeses and had spent €28 a 50% discount on TheFork so I think that if they continued to offer the discount I would go there again because the food is good, the managers are a bit reserved, they should be a bit more open with customers anyway because we were new but there were not many anyway in the end it is the price that was favorable, we will return again

We stumbled upon this place while passing through and had a great time. Besides offering a wide range of starters, it seems to me to be essentially a grill restaurant with a large section of the menu dedicated to special cuts and types of meat. We shrugged our heels and ordered a very fresh seafood appetizer, followed by a mixed roast of meat, fish, lamb, and tuna, with sides of broccoli, potatoes, and mushrooms. The dishes were huge, and even though we enjoyed everything, we couldn't finish them. The service was no-frills but efficient. The bathrooms were clean and the bill was fair.

Di passaggio siamo arrivati in questo posto e ci siam trovati benone. Oltre a una proporre molti primi mi sembra sia sostanzialmente una braceria con una gran sezione del menù dedicata a tagli e tipi di carni speciali. Noi abbiamo volato basso e ordinato dopo un antipasto di mare molto fresco, un arrosto misto di carne, uno di pesce,uno di agnello, e uno di tonno con contorni di broccoli, patate e funghi. I piatti erano enormi e nonostante avessimo apprezzato tutto non siamo riusciti a finirli. Il servizio senza fronzoli ma efficiente Bagni puliti Conto onesto

Says it is open from midday. Incorrect information, it opens at 7pm. Sadly a wasted journey there.

Fairly quiet place, with ample space and parking outside. It essentially offers local Irpinian cuisine with ingredients such as mushrooms, truffles and various vegetables. The grill area is also interesting with different types of meat. It is also possible to eat a pizza, with a wood-fired oven in plain sight just beyond the entrance door. The quality of the proposal is good and the portions are quite large. Friendly and always available service. Average prices. A good place if you want to try the typical local cuisine.
