Trattoria Osteria Lo Speziale In Petrizzi

My husband and I had dinner on Sunday evening. We shared an appetizer from the apothecary, which allowed us to try a bit of everything (cured meats, cheeses, meatballs, olives, and some really good beans!), then I ordered the dish of the day (pasta with snails and 'nduja), and he ordered the caserecce pasta with capocollo and fennel. Generous portions, both pastas were very flavorful and rich, with truly excellent ingredients. To finish, a fresh lemon sorbet. With a bottle of water and a quart of red wine to round it all out, we spent €45, definitely satisfied given the quality (and quantity) of the dishes. The various meat-based main courses also looked very interesting, given the high demand from other diners. We hope to have the opportunity to return soon to try them! The wait staff was kind and courteous, the atmosphere was unique and old-fashioned. Well done, keep it up!

What a hidden gem. Everything was perfect. Waitress was very helpful and had no rush. Food was so tasteful. Room was very nicely decorated. And prices very reasonable. No Michelin bling, but honest hospitality and great food. Just what we was looking for. This was a great recommendation from our host.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would gladly have done so. The ambiance is charming and meticulously maintained, furnished with dozens of antiques, such as work tools and amphorae. Attentive, discreet, and friendly service. The dishes and ingredients are truly excellent; every single dish, from appetizers to dessert, is expertly prepared: the result is traditional dishes (not the usual ones you've seen over and over again) that are delicious and plentiful. The prices are below average and even slightly below the true value of the dishes offered. A stroll through the village of Petrizzi (during the day) offers a beautiful view of the panorama that extends from the hills to the sea. Definitely go!
