I was recommended this place by a dear friend, and it was a great choice! We were immediately struck by the location, a spectacular setting with a breathtaking view (they provide binoculars for a better view, including the Swabian castle of Rocca Imperiale). Giusy, the owner, welcomed us, one of the restaurant's strengths: kind, helpful, she recommends and explains every dish perfectly, making you feel right at home. Excellent quality food, excellent value. I recommend the appetizers to try the local delicacies, not to be missed are the frizzuli and orecchiette. The dessert with millefoglie, cream, and black cherries is sensational too! We returned a few nights later. What can I say? Absolutely worth a try!

Being in Basilicata or Calabria and not stopping at Le Lamie restaurant in Rotondella is a sin worthy of at least a little penance!
Missing out Giusi's hospitality, her infectious friendliness, the carefully prepared traditional specialties, and the breathtaking view from the picturesque arches could become one of those regrets that rear their ugly heads at the most unexpected moments.
I've been there, and I can say with conviction: if I were to pass through those parts again, I'd already plan to return. In fact, let's just say it's almost mandatory!

An unforgettable experience!
Giusy and her mother are a fantastic team: Giusy pampers you from the start, offering invaluable advice for discovering and enjoying Basilicata, while her mother works her magic in the kitchen, preparing delicious traditional Lucanian dishes with the highest-quality ingredients.
All in a wonderful setting, with a panoramic view that's literally breathtaking.
A highly recommended stop even if you're by the sea in Scanzano or Metaponto. It's worth the drive to visit Rotondella and its maze of streets and steps!

Congratulations indeed!

A pleasant discovery. I stopped here a few days ago for lunch during my Basilicata coast-to-coast hike. The owner, Giusy, made me feel at home in a beautiful location with a lovely view of the hills.
P.S. By the way, it's incredible. I didn't know that years ago my father visited her restaurant and hosted him in her apartment after a concert with Alberto Cantone there in Rotondella, back in 2009, I think.
Thanks, Giusy. By the way, we have the same last name!
