Trattoria Al Vecchio Scarpone In Castelmezzano

05/04/2024: A little expensive for what it offers.

04/04/2024: Fantastic experience, in the center of Lavello. Forentum is not a place to eat or sleep, or rather, it is not the classic place you go to because you don't know where to go. It is a place of aggregation, of profound tradition and true innovation managed by Savino in an incredible way. The restaurant offers the opportunity to try traditional recipes from Basilicata in the ancient way with a unique respect for the ingredients, all local, and with a workmanlike execution. An absolute must-try is the ravioli filled with sweet ricotta and topped with sauce, a work of art that excites every single taste bud like no other before. Also in the restaurant it is possible to try the pizzas, burgers or sushi, expertly made as only a true enthusiast can do. And Savino is a huge enthusiast, able to bring together tradition and innovation in a simple way, without forcing, which simply makes you happy. The suite rooms also enjoy modern but not tacky furnishings, with all comforts. Comfortable mattress, bathroom, shower, sink, walk-in closet and desk, plus a small refrigerator. In short, a place that has become, what seems like a shadow of a doubt, a reference, and to which I will return to discover this wonderful land that is Basilicata. I once again congratulate the creator of all this, the creator of a work that is more unique than rare in all of Italy.
