I migliori ristoranti in Potenza

01/09/2025: Superb pizzeria! We fell in love with this pizza from the very first bite: truly exceptional! The manager, Domenica, is fantastic, helpful, and friendly! Whenever we're in Potenza, Pizzeria 5 Lire is our go-to! Highly recommended.

04/08/2025: Loved our lunch. It was nice to eat local and enjoy the region. Following a stay in Balvano we journeyed over and spent a few hours with great food. It's tucked away but a place to enjoy.

02/07/2025: I was at this farm for the first time on June 20th for my mother's birthday. Everything was delicious and Costantino was super kind. We will definitely return.

27/09/2025: The arrosticini are excellent, with various cooking methods. The rest is just unnecessary frills, although I was served some excellent cavatelli with cruschi peppers off the menu. On the other hand, the bruschetta was unacceptable, burnt, and poorly garnished. The prices are excellent. Again, stick to the house specialty and little else.

14/09/2025: EVERYONE should come here!! The best thing I've ever eaten: Arrosticini Angus, castrato, and a chocolate bar, which is their own product ♥️🥰 I love this place and want to cry that I live 2,076 km away 😭. I envy the locals! Very friendly and wonderful service!

22/08/2025: Excellent service, helpful and very kind, the products are excellent, especially the beers😁

03/10/2025: A very refined venue. A relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and a spectacular chef. A wonderful discovery, and I'll definitely be back! EXCELLENT

23/09/2025: Disappointing experience. I advise tourists like me NOT to visit this restaurant, as the service is terrible. Non-locals aren't treated the same way as locals. I dined here with my family. There were only three of us. We showed up without a reservation, and when they told us there was no room inside, they invited us to sit outside on the patio. This treatment wasn't extended to a couple who arrived shortly afterward. They initially seated them outside like us, but after a few words and a smile at the waitresses, they were escorted inside. It presents itself as a trattoria, but offers a limited menu of gourmet dishes (I recommend changing the name) at an unjustified high price given the poor quality. The pasta was served to me practically raw; it couldn't even be described as "al dente." Perhaps the chef, who wanders around the tables doing public relations in a white jacket and shorts (bad presentation), should spend more time in the kitchen. To conclude, they served two completely cold coffees, and in response to our complaints, they replied that it was our fault—we'd waited too long to drink it, after twenty minutes of waiting before we were served. The waitress didn't even apologize, making excuses and not even responding to my farewell greeting. A truly rude person who perhaps should learn to be more humble.

26/10/2025: I fully agree with the excellent reviews: a bar that's a pleasant companion from breakfast to after-dinner, offering carefully selected, quality products and consistently courteous and attentive service. Thanks to Luciano and his family for their kindness!

17/08/2025: Nice bar with tobacco and scratch cards. Excellent coffee! Very friendly staff.

14/07/2025: Excellent quality of food, atmosphere and kindness!

24/05/2025: A marvel of a location immersed in peace. Excellent food with welcoming and professional staff. I missed the food of my land❤️

20/08/2025: Consigliato per gli ottimi cornetti, per un brunch, cordialità e gentilezza la fanno da padrona.

19/07/2025: Kindness and professionalism characterize this café. We had a great time: the staff is friendly and welcoming, the croissants are fresh and tasty, and the coffee is truly excellent. A pleasant experience that I definitely recommend!

14/09/2025: The staff's courtesy and kindness were exceptional, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was a bit problematic: the first course arrived quite late and, even more strangely, it was served with the second course. As for the food, the quality was generally average, without any particular highlights. The mushroom cavatelli, in particular, didn't thrill me; it wasn't anything special. The only positive note was the orecchiette with ragù, which was good. The average price, €15 per person, makes up for any disappointments.

30/08/2025: Simple and welcoming restaurant Tasty and authentic food Exquisite lamb Excellent value for money Highly recommended

27/09/2025: Excellent place and I recommend trying it.

14/09/2025: Excellent seafood and meat cuisine, featuring both traditional Lucanian and Italian dishes. High-quality ingredients. Quick service with friendly, qualified staff.

13/07/2025: Family-run restaurant, simple and tasty dishes, excellent grilled meat and homemade ravioli with ricotta

16/06/2025: Gentili, abbiamo mangiato delle bistecche gustosissime e cotte alla perfezione. Di contorno crocchette di patate e scamorza alla piastra, tutto perfetto. Prezzo giustissimo! Posto autentico.

15/08/2025: Congratulations! Excellent service, top-quality ingredients, and the green setting make this place even more beautiful. Congratulations are especially important because it's not easy to maintain such a high standard for a mid-August lunch. They managed to make us eat very well, perhaps even too well, without making a single mistake. Perfectly cooked, well-balanced toppings, smiling and helpful waiters. Professionalism always pays off!

12/08/2025: Just like home! Excellent restaurant, just like home. Service matched the menu, which consisted of a dozen appetizers, a first course, grilled meat, dessert, coffee, and an after-dinner drink. We were completely satisfied and full. 🥩

02/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, quality food, very friendly and helpful staff. Lunch costs around €20 per person. Off-menu dishes are also available, except on holidays. Takeout is available every day, with a wide selection. On Wednesdays and Fridays, the menu features fresh fish from the fishmonger. In the evening, you can also order pizza, which is very good. Highly recommended.

28/08/2025: We ate excellent traditional dishes in a warm, family atmosphere! Fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with care and prompt, attentive service! We'll definitely be back! I'm updating this review by adding that it's now become a regular stop every time we come to Potenza. The pizzas are also excellent!

15/09/2025: My wife and I went to this restaurant yesterday for lunch. The place is rustic and welcoming, but the invasive presence of flies in the dining room makes it annoying. The food is good, but the service is very, very slow. The menu is very difficult to see because it's hung on the wall, and you have to get up from your table to read it. The prices are fair, and the parking lot is limited and inconvenient.

01/09/2025: Excellent products, fair prices. They're very attentive to allergies, and the staff is young but highly motivated!

05/09/2025: Giuseppe is the most worthy heir to the family tradition. An absolute guarantee.

26/08/2025: Top restaurant! We ate wonderfully. The kitchen served dishes made with love. Thank you.
