I migliori ristoranti in Potenza

29/07/2025: Friendly staff, excellent quality ice cream

19/04/2025: Enough now, I'll wait 7 days for you to stop those dogs from staying there! 7 days later I'll send out checks like crazy until you close down!

21/09/2025: I've read other comments and can't explain them: - the owner was welcoming and friendly, - she warned us that the appetizers would be very generous. If you want to try more, I recommend ordering them, but for a few less people than the actual number. Everything was really good and fresh. We'll be back to try other things; highly recommended.

17/08/2025: Just one star because you can't give less, the food is like a horror movie.

01/01/2026: We're here for New Year's Eve with a large group of friends. I communicated well in advance that we needed a vegetarian menu, and everything went very well, except for the lentils, which were served as a New Year's greeting. They were cooked with cotechino and served without cotechino on the plate. The waiter apologized, but it's a shame I lost all my enthusiasm for dining. Even at a large event, more attention should be paid in the kitchen before bringing the food to the table. Slow service, limited staff. We sat down at 8:00 PM and started dinner at 9:30 PM. Last but not least, you need to review the band chosen to celebrate New Year's Eve because they only played songs for people over 70, mazurkas, tangos, waltzes, and polkas on loop. How sad...many people remained seated out of anxiety.

23/09/2025: A refined and charming location, perfect for a special occasion. Excellent food: beautifully presented dishes, fresh ingredients, and balanced flavors. Attentive and friendly service. Highly recommended for those seeking quality and atmosphere!

07/11/2025: A place to spend time with friends. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating on a sunny day isn't conducive to enjoying company, as the sun beats down relentlessly. The prices are a bit higher than average, making them less seasonal. The staff, though not all of them, are friendly and helpful. Some of the young people could be a little less arrogant. The food is acceptable.

11/08/2025: A crudaiola was made with mozzarella, flakes of fresh cheese, 3 or 4 small pieces of tomato and a pinch of rocket. I was disappointed.

31/10/2025: Very good pizza. Super super super

24/10/2025: I had a good breakfast with my family

12/11/2025: What can I say! A magical place... I return often and gladly. Antonio is a special friend. I recommend this place for peace and relaxation.

16/10/2025: Poor-quality food with no choice and no heating. Avoid!

27/01/2026: Very kind. On a gloomy Sunday, at 4:15 PM, with the restaurant obviously closed, they welcomed us for lunch, two of us with three dogs in tow. They were very kind, and the homemade food was much appreciated. Thank you, and sorry for the mud we and the dogs left behind. Thank you.

23/12/2025: A simple place with extremely welcoming and friendly staff, good food (we had a really good picanha, accompanied by potatoes and sautéed chicory) and a good selection of carefully selected local wines! Thanks, and see you next time!

21/09/2025: I had the "Cheese Burger 48" with French fries and a DOP pinsa. I had a Leffe Ambree to drink. I found the burger and bun a bit dry, the bacon was very good, and the fries were neither good nor bad. The real plus was the mayonnaise, which in my opinion was homemade and truly excellent. As for the pinsa, what can I say? The dough was really light and crispy, and you could tell from a mile away that it's been left to rise for a long time, making it very digestible. The tomato and mozzarella were good but not exceptional, and overall a bit salty. The beer selection was limited, but there's something for everyone. The final bill for six people was €140, so in line with the average for other places in the capital. (If you overdo it with the drinks and order desserts and sweets, the price goes up significantly.) Regarding the location, I really appreciated the bathroom, which was meticulously clean. However, I found the Christmas lights on the wall on September 20th a bit out of place. The service was quite quick and efficient. Overall, it wasn't my best dining experience, but it certainly wasn't bad. I might have to come back to try something else. See you next time.

06/09/2025: Nice place, great outdoor seating, but better table lighting is needed. Contrary to what I've read in various reviews, the prices aren't low, but they're average; the meat is good, and the sharing plates are good. The options are lacking, however: there's gluten-free, but no lactose-free options; a shame in 2025, because the buffalo mozzarella alone (which isn't lactose-free, but is low in lactose) isn't a sufficient option for those with lactose intolerances.

14/01/2026: Terrible, disgusting 🤮 never again

05/01/2026: Terrible food, we found hair in the dishes, the cooking wasn't good at all, we waited an hour for some dishes that never arrived, I wouldn't go back.

15/08/2025: After a morning spent among the serene waterfalls of San Fele, we chose L'Usignolo restaurant for our Ferragosto lunch. The experience, however, was marred by a few disappointing details worth mentioning. At the time of booking, we were asked for a 50% deposit via bank transfer, an unusual practice, but one we accepted given the unique nature of the day. Upon our arrival, before even being seated, we were asked to pay the full amount for lunch. This approach, more akin to that of a fast-food restaurant than a traditional restaurant, created a rather unpleasant and unwelcoming atmosphere. Once inside, the setting truly transported us to the past. The decor, seemingly from the 1970s with a slight update in the 1990s, has remained unchanged over time. Despite the feeling of a place "frozen in time," the overall cleanliness and order were not lacking. To complete the experience, live music in the style of a Romagna dance hall accompanied our meal, an element that, unfortunately, didn't fit well with the idea of a relaxed lunch. The menu matched the restaurant's retro atmosphere. We tried dishes such as mezzepccheri with confit cherry tomatoes, speck, and chopped pistachios, a lasagna with artichokes and béchamel sauce, and roast suckling pig with potatoes. Despite our concerns about the ambiance, the food was a positive: the dishes were decidedly enjoyable and well-prepared. L'Usignolo restaurant offers honest and enjoyable cuisine, but the overall experience was marred by inattentive customer service and a dated atmosphere. If you're looking for good food and don't mind an old-fashioned setting (and paying in advance), it might be a decent choice, but for a more modern and welcoming experience, you might want to look elsewhere.

21/06/2025: The environment needs to be totally renovated, the place is terrible and the food is indescribable. Friendly staff

08/03/2026: The food is good, the pizza is good, the service is efficient.

22/02/2026: I got takeout pizza and had an hour wait.

07/02/2026: Terrible place, they say there is no bathroom, maybe because the place is a dump

06/12/2025: Excellent wood-fired takeout pizza
