Ristorante Pizzeria IL MULINO In Cirigliano

Really great restaurant, we went to eat on a holiday. If you are looking for an authentic experience, with typical dishes in a welcoming and familiar environment, here the service is impeccable. A special thanks goes to the cook, a lady who, at the end of the meal, takes the time to come into the room to personally ask if everything went well — simply perfect!

A hidden gem in the heart of Basilicata: Il Mulino in Cirigliano is an experience not to be missed. In the charming village of Cirigliano, nestled among the hills of Matera, the restaurant-pizzeria Il Mulino turned out to be a real discovery, a place where the Lucanian culinary tradition is expressed with authenticity and passion. From the first moment, you are welcomed by a warm and familiar atmosphere, typical of the trattorias of the past, where the smile and courtesy of the owners make you feel immediately at home. The environment, well-kept and welcoming, is the perfect prelude to a gastronomic experience that celebrates the genuine flavors of the territory. We had the pleasure of tasting different courses, and each of them told a story of very fresh ingredients and recipes handed down with love. The appetizers, a triumph of local products, from cheeses to cured meats, tantalized the palate in a sublime way. The first courses, with homemade pasta, are a tribute to grandma's cooking, rich in flavor and prepared with skill. The pizza also deserves a special mention: a light and digestible dough, cooked to perfection and seasoned with top quality ingredients. The care and attention dedicated to each individual preparation is evident. The service is attentive and thoughtful, never intrusive, with the staff always ready to recommend and share an anecdote about the dishes and their origins. Il Mulino is not simply a restaurant, but a corner of authentic Basilicata to keep in your heart. A precious address, ideal for those looking for sincere cuisine, a warm welcome and an excellent quality-price ratio. Highly recommended to anyone who happens to pass by these parts and wants to savor the true taste of Lucanian tradition. We will definitely be back!

the fried egg with knife-point sausage and crusco pepper, their signature dish, really delicious 🎖️

Family atmosphere, super welcome, typical dishes excellent and freshly prepared. We ate products of our own production, wonderful. We didn't have time to take photos. 🤣🤣

Do you want to taste the flavors of real Lucanian food....well from the Mill you have to go to Cirigliano, a small town in Lucania and it's all home-made, made with exceptional recipes.

Cozy place. Friendly and courteous staff. Worth a visit.

Perfect, everything very good and characteristic!

I had dinner with friends on March 27, 2025, everything was delicious from the appetizer to the fruit, not only in the home-made preparation of the food but above all in the excellent and genuine quality of the products (typically local). Excellent service, friendly staff and a welcoming place. In short, if you love eating well, visit Cirigliano, a characteristic village in the province of Matera and stop to eat at the "Il Mulino" restaurant
