I migliori ristoranti in Potenza

08/12/2025: The space is divided into several small rooms. The color of the walls matches the color of the placemats, and the table setting is simple. The bread was good, arriving freshly warm and available in two varieties. There was also whole-grain bread in addition to the plain bread. We ordered a platter of local cured meats and cheeses, and two first courses were well-described on the menu, each one highlighting the ingredients. Olive oil was used wisely, carefully measured in the dishes, even in the second course of sausage with turnips. Local sausage is traditionally fatty and delicious, but that fat was not noticeable on the plate. The desserts are all freshly assembled on the plate. The bases were delicious, with chocolate biscuits, milk and vanilla cream, and chestnuts, and the sugar was well-measured. We also appreciated the delicious crumble, milk and vanilla cream, and crusco pepper flakes. The mastery in the kitchen is evident, as is Valerio's extensive knowledge of wines and products, and Antonella's attentive service and courtesy. A team of motivated and well-prepared young people, with a broad scope!

08/12/2025: Typical flavors that inebriate the palate. Excellent selection of ingredients and wines. Very hospitable and kind people.

16/02/2026: A decent and affordable restaurant and pizzeria with a wide menu, perfect for families and groups with diverse tastes. It's not particularly convenient to get there.

20/11/2025: A very nice restaurant and pizzeria. A very interesting place on the gentle slope of the volcano near Melfi. Atmospheric interior with a fireplace. Very good food and friendly service. I recommend it.

14/12/2025: Nestled in the Pollino woods, Lo Chalet dei Briganti is a truly charming and welcoming place. The staff is always friendly, and the dishes are excellent and carefully prepared. It was a pleasant surprise to always find gluten-free options. Highly recommended.

03/11/2025: Surrounded by greenery, the setting is truly charming and beautiful. The service is courteous and prompt. The menu disappoints not in terms of quality but rather in terms of choice: the usual dishes are unimaginative. It's a shame: one could indulge in delicious dishes, especially this time of year. I hope this is a criticism that's accepted and that it helps the owners think again. Prices are average.

29/09/2025: We stopped at this little restaurant purely by chance during a motorcycle trip and were very satisfied! Excellent quality and friendly staff. I'd only leave the red wine at room temperature. We'll definitely be back!

20/09/2025: We went there on a Sunday evening with my family about a month ago. The location was very nice, clean, and mostly run by women. Unfortunately, it was the end of the season and we didn't choose from the menu. Perhaps it was a good thing, because they offered us a tasting of delicious local products. I highly recommend it, even if they make it themselves.

08/03/2026: Short stay in Maratea. This bar is very close to our hotel. The perfect place to start the day: a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere with quick service. Behind the bar, you can even admire a stream with a small waterfall!

01/01/2026: Great attention! A beautiful place for breakfast and aperitifs! Andrea is excellent!!!

03/08/2025: I'm not used to writing reviews, but I think this place deserves a review, not only for its quaint location, but above all for the excellent food and the courtesy and kindness of the staff. In addition to the owners' professionalism and hospitality, the place offers dishes for all palates, even the most spoiled like mine. The pizza is a true lightness of goodness and flavor. I've celebrated several events there and will celebrate more. I'm very sorry for those who have maliciously and gratuitously reviewed the place and everything else. I advise these gentlemen to review their Italian grammar a bit... a hug.

30/07/2025: Polite and great prices, we will be back.

06/01/2026: I've been waiting years for the Scalera location to reopen, and it's finally here! The pizzas are delicious, made with high-quality ingredients. The building is brand new, spread over two floors, and has ample parking outside. I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints—a superb pizzeria!

31/12/2025: To describe the evening, I want to start with the only positive note I found: the pasta frittatas were truly delicious. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweigh the positive. As soon as we started ordering, we were rudely told that since there were other tables there, we shouldn't have any demands on the timing (even though we didn't). Then, the fried foods began to arrive in random and confusing order, served in absurdly long times, despite the fact that the orders weren't that diverse, given the relatively limited selection to choose from. Of the fried foods, aside from the frittatas, the quality was mediocre, and the crocco sandwich was, in my opinion, delirious, poorly conceived, and poorly executed. We then moved on to the pizzas, which were served as if the wait staff were doing their guests a favor. Even though there were 16 of us, half the table finished their pizzas, and two friends even left the restaurant, while the other half hadn't received their pizzas yet. It's normal for large tables to have a certain amount of time between pizzas, but between the first and last pizzas, over an hour passed. The pizza was super salty and excessively covered in oil that dripped from the slice, and the dough was mediocre. You might be thinking the restaurant was packed, but by that time, we were the only table left. I don't even want to mention the wine service, which was opened incorrectly and left there without even letting us taste the bottle, assuming it was good (unacceptable). At that point, we didn't even ask for dessert since it was too late, and we only waited forever for coffee and liqueurs (while the place was empty). When it came to paying, the chaos continued. Despite paying the bill in the Roman style, the same girl who served us rudely rounded up the price and miscalculated, charging more for the entrees. Only after the manager intervened did she charge the last guests half, telling us to settle the price between us. Having described the service and food, let's move on to the atmosphere: The place is new and recently renovated, but in my opinion, it's confusing and lacks a clear style that varies from one area to another. The main problem, besides the pictures hung by someone suffering from labyrinthitis, is that as we left, we all smelled strongly of fried food, despite there being no open kitchen. Overall, it's absolutely negative, and I won't be setting foot there again.

03/01/2026: The food quality was very poor, but we ate until we found a hair in our food. Not to mention the overall ambiance, which was quite dirty. Unfortunately, there were only a few restaurants open.

24/11/2025: I discovered the restaurant during a photo shoot at the Monticchio Lakes. Tasty appetizers, well-prepared first courses, and excellent second courses of tender meat. The house red wine is good. The staff is very polite and the owner is friendly. Reasonable prices. As for me, I'll repeat the experience if I'm in the area.

12/12/2025: Beautiful and welcoming place, a certainty

12/11/2025: Small but cozy place, average pizza, slightly high price, still good for a quick lunch, variety of pizzas, fried foods, etc. The only downside, if I'm not mistaken, I didn't notice, but perhaps there's no bathroom, but I could be wrong. But again, a quick lunch to do again.

26/01/2026: Excellent, but they do everything themselves, you just have to eat and pay

22/12/2025: I loved it. Delicious and plentiful food, friendly service, a stone-clad restaurant with a roaring fireplace, and cured meats sliced ​​tableside. An experience worth repeating.

06/08/2025: Grazie ad Antonio, Annarita e Maria per averci fatto sentire a casa, siete delle persone speciali! Agriturismo situato in mezzo alla natura dove si possono gustare piatti buonissimi con materie prime prodotte in loco! Camera spaziosa, pulitissima e molto luminosa. Consigliamo a tutti di vivere questa esperienza, noi ci torneremo sicuramente.

21/07/2025: Siamo stati in visita un paio di giorni a Pietrapertosa/Castelmezzano e non potevamo avere di meglio!! L'agriturismo é localizzato in una bellissima valle ai piedi delle dolomiti lucane dove si può ammirare uno stupendo paesaggio agricolo. I piatti della cucina sono quelli autentici della tradizione, utilizzando i prodotti a km 0 che il signor Antonio ne crea con cura. Questa azienda agrituristica é adatta a tutti: coppie, famiglie, gruppi, singoli, camperisti. Mette a disposizione qualsiasi servizio a ogni tipo di cliente. Un plauso va a Antonio e Giuseppe e alla loro famiglia che hanno fatto di tutto per metterci a nostro agio. Grazie di tutto!!! N.b. Caro Giuseppe torneremo di sicuro!!!

07/03/2026: The prices were definitely too high: €20 for a small plate of mixed roast meats, €15 for a roast sausage that was too tough and inedible.

16/02/2026: This highly recommended grill restaurant is located in the heart of Rotonda. The service is truly excellent, punctual, and incredibly fast. We never had to wait, and we were literally pampered by the top-notch staff, both in the dining room and on the grill, as well as in the kitchen. A solid food and wine menu, featuring carefully sourced local products, is available on the menu. The ricotta ravioli with porcini mushrooms and blueberries are delicious, the spaghetti with crusco is very flavorful, and the maccheroncini with eggplant cream is delicious. The meat dishes are highly recommended, especially the sliced ​​steak with porcini mushrooms and sausage—a must-try! Those who know how to grill know their stuff. The desserts are truly a sin, especially the ricotta and pear tart, a real treat. We will definitely be back. Thank you for your hospitality.

02/11/2025: Great place. Panzerottone stuffed with broccoli rabe and fresh sausage is top notch.

22/09/2025: Just a few words to say that we ate terribly, the worst pizza I've ever eaten, burnt chips, and a long wait despite three occupied tables...never again.........PS I don't understand why there are reviews dating back years and years...
