23/03/2026: We went to Avigliano to eat cod at Osteria Gagliardi. It was truly delicious. The dishes, from appetizers to first and second courses, paired beautifully and delicately with this fish. Excellent value for money. The place is small, but very elegant and not crowded. The service was impeccable, fast, and attentive. It's best to book well in advance because it's very popular. We were coming from Bari, so we drove a bit, but it was worth it.

07/03/2026: We're not used to writing reviews, but we couldn't help but share our experience at Pierfaone, and we hope these lines can help those who, like us, are looking for true professionals to rely on for the success of their event, leaving nothing to chance. MANAGEMENT OF REQUESTS: From the very beginning, we were told to think of this event as something to be adapted to our needs, without being influenced by the "standard" models we'd seen in other contexts. Our wedding was held on December 30th, and for this day, we wanted a winter day, reminiscent of a mountain cabin and allowing our guests to enjoy a welcoming and evocative atmosphere. To create the atmosphere we requested, we worked together, in addition to all the other details, to define a "winter" corner consisting of a relaxation area with a fire pit and a hot drinks corner. PLANNING: Since we live outside the region, the organization had to be conducted almost entirely remotely (only three in-person meetings were enough to finalize the details of our event). From the very first visit, Donato and the entire staff proved to be extremely kind, welcoming, and above all, extremely professional and attentive to every request. The work they did not only involved organizing the meal itself, but also coordinating the arrangements to ensure that the florist, band, and photographer (some of whom were from outside the region) all received the same instructions and respected the timeframe we requested. As a testament to the staff's professionalism, vendors who had never worked with them before confided that they had never encountered such helpfulness, thoughtfulness, and care, both professionally and personally. SERVICE: For us, the service was simply impeccable! We experienced courtesy, attentiveness to all guests, and professionalism from the first moment of the day until closing. Both we, the celebrants, and our guests felt treated with respect and care, a feeling undoubtedly due to the very thorough and meticulous underlying organization. Many of our guests were amazed by how well they felt cared for and treated throughout the day, telling us they had never seen management and service of this level: cleanliness and order throughout, the ability to anticipate guests' needs before they could express them, attentive and well-dressed staff, and precise, elegant yet discreet service. DISHES: Already during the planning phase, Donato asked us about our preferences and the types of dishes we would like served. Based on our suggestions, he developed a series of superior options, including those tailored to food intolerances and preferences. During the menu tasting, we were able to evaluate all the options presented to us, including those tailored to food intolerances and preferences (vegan and vegetarian options). This is when we ran into serious problems: it wasn't easy to choose which dishes would be our favorites, because all the options proved to be truly excellent. Speaking of the final result, we can only say one thing: if, despite the generous portions, the multiple appetizers and entrees, a Novara native—who hails from the land of rice—requests the trio of risottos, the quality of the food was certainly among the best! In short, we believe Pierfaone "ruined" us. We realized, having attended other weddings before and after ours, that unfortunately, when you experience such an extraordinary level of care and quality, it's hard to appreciate other experiences.

08/02/2026: A truly unique structure, kind and friendly staff. The owner Donato and his son Rocco are impeccable. Describing it would not do it justice. You have to go there and experience the structure and what it offers. See you next time, thanks for everything.

26/11/2025: The most delicious meal incredible homemade specialties when I visit the area again I will go directly there. Ciao Giuseppe DiPalma

05/10/2025: If you're after something different from your usual Italian spot, this is it! The food is super authentic and homemade - generous portions, too. The homemade wine and pasta were amazing. We had an awesome time and felt so welcomed!

01/04/2026: It's all delicious, you're really good, keep it up.

24/03/2026: The pizza was good, well done to them, we liked it!

09/04/2026: Impeccable service and exquisite dishes. The place is welcoming and spotlessly clean. A great find in the city center, definitely worth a try.

06/04/2026: Ordered fish with vegetables. We never received the vegetables despite complaining. At the register, we were then told it was a kitchen mistake, without any apology or compensation. It's shameful! Not to mention the coffee, which never arrived either (and wasn't charged).

17/04/2026: Since I moved to Melfi in 2015, I've been frequenting this restaurant. Over the years, it's only grown in its offerings. In 2021, I celebrated my daughter's first birthday with lunch inside with family and then outside in the evening with friends. I've also attended other personal events and other events...all with overwhelmingly positive feedback. Truly excellent food and a constantly updated menu, a beautiful location, and excellent service. Jeans is a guarantee. Highly recommended.

21/01/2026: Excellent seafood restaurant. Elegant atmosphere, friendly staff. Closed Friday mornings.

09/05/2026: Delicious food in a very pleasant, family-run setting. The wine was very good and served in generous portions.

08/05/2026: Refined cuisine, handmade pasta, charming location, reasonable value for money. The coffee wasn't very good.

03/05/2026: Great breakfast selection and excellent service.

28/03/2026: Bar with delicious croissants and quite a lot of filling, the cereal croissant with Chantilly cream is delicious, highly recommended.

09/05/2026: Efficient and friendly service. A restaurant with good value for money. The bruschetta bread was very good. The orecchiette were also excellent. Highly recommended.

03/05/2026: Delicious and plentiful traditional dishes. Friendly staff.

16/05/2026: A very nice and welcoming atmosphere, and the service was excellent. It's more traditional sushi than others I've tried in Quito, which is why I liked it so much. I'll definitely be back and I recommend it.

10/05/2026: At first, I was honestly skeptical about Shibumi Sushi’s unique approach to blending traditional Japanese sushi with an Ecuadorian twist, but after experiencing the omakase, I can confidently say this was one of the most memorable sushi experiences I’ve had outside of Japan. Having lived in Japan myself, I know the level of precision, freshness, and respect authentic sushi requires, and Shibumi absolutely delivers on all of it while still creating something original and exciting. Every dish in the omakase was beautifully presented, thoughtfully explained, and executed with incredible attention to detail. The quality of the fish was phenomenal, and you could truly feel the craftsmanship and passion behind every course. What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special, even speaking excellent English and carefully walking me through each dish and its inspiration, which made the experience feel personal and immersive. This is the kind of restaurant that deserves recognition not only from travelers and food enthusiasts, but honestly from the Michelin Guide itself. Shibumi Sushi manages to honor authentic Japanese sushi culture while confidently incorporating Ecuadorian influence in a way that feels respectful, creative, and world class. Absolutely unforgettable.

02/06/2026: The horse meat is delicious. The meatballs and diaphragm are the best in my opinion. I'll be back next time. 🌈 Congratulations to all the staff. 01-06-2026

03/05/2026: Family-run horse butcher shop with a grill, where you can eat anything you choose from the butcher's counter, from bone-in and boneless steaks to diaphragm steaks, roulades, sausages, meatballs, piadinas, carpaccio, and more... The meat is carefully selected and well-prepared, of excellent quality. The small, cozy place, and the friendly, welcoming staff immediately put you at ease. The meat is paired with an excellent wine selected by the owner. The service is fast, but the company and the friendliness of the owners will make you want to stay. What I really liked is that you only eat grilled meat, with no side dishes or appetizers that will fill you up before you get to the meat. The quality/price ratio is excellent. If you like horse meat, I recommend trying it; if you've never tried it, it's a great place to start.

20/05/2026: Bad experience, I booked with the "buy 3, pay 2" promotion. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was unable to use the promotion because I didn't have the coupon. The staff was awkward and unresponsive, unable to answer my questions and unable to find a solution. I strongly advise against it.

19/05/2026: Undoubtedly a restaurant worth the detour, with a friendly, warm, attentive team, very pleasant background music and of course PIZZAS that the world should know, not forgetting the little Nutella pizza doughnuts for dessert.

10/04/2026: On the way back, we stopped at a roadside shop. It turns out the shop doesn't open until 12 o'clock, but the owner, seeing how pitiful we were, opened an hour early so we could eat. It was delicious!

10/02/2026: I don't know about the rooms because I only had one pizza, excellent and well-made...

14/11/2025: Very qualified staff, high-quality cuisine, everything delicious and the perfect location, I recommend it.

05/10/2025: Very good meal and very warm welcome
