I migliori ristoranti in Potenza

05/08/2026: We had dinner here on August 4th. Fantastic service, exceptional appetizers, grilled meats, and, of course, pasta with fresh mushrooms. Even though it's not in the center of town, the place is definitely worth it, and so is the Pollino. The courtesy and humanity of the two owners is almost impossible to find these days. Highly recommended.

23/06/2026: A place in the vastness of Pollino. The owners, what can I say? Polite, kind, welcoming, attentive. People from another era. Dinner was delicious... flavors from another era. Thank you so much. We will return for a longer stay.

03/08/2026: Truly a sensational and delicious lunch with unexpected dishes and creations, crafted by a technically impeccable hand.

22/07/2026: A very nice place enriched by the kindness of Mr. Antonio who was very professional in recommending the local specialties. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we will gladly return.

02/08/2026: We're returning to this agriturismo with our campervan after last year's pleasant experience. Friendliness, hospitality, and traditional food are their strong points. The option of stopping off with your campervan is definitely an added bonus.

31/07/2026: The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was quiet and welcoming. I sincerely thank Nadia, Vito, and Domenica for making me feel at home.

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.

09/08/2026: The dishes were not only delicious, but presented with great care and elegance.

09/08/2026: The menu includes both meat and fish options, gluten-free and lactose-free. The quality of the ingredients is excellent, and the location is convenient with plenty of parking.

18/07/2026: I came here with my girlfriend to try some good quality food and sushi, and man did they deliver. Amazing sushi and great quality, everything was super fresh and staff was super sweet. Worth the price.

16/07/2026: Delicious Japanese food. Excellent service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Congratulations to the chef!

04/08/2026: Quality products. The best fresh tomato spaghetti I've ever tasted.

26/07/2026: **Strategic stop, excellent ingredients, but room management needs improvement** We stopped at the Time Out restaurant in Lauria, right off the highway exit. The location is truly convenient for those traveling the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway and looking for a practical stopover to break up the journey. The lunch began with a very promising start. The appetizers were top-notch: excellent cured meats and cheeses, exquisite porcini mushrooms, and overall top-quality ingredients. Next, we ordered the first courses. They were good but not exceptional, although the presentation was original, served characteristically directly from the pan and grater. The real problems began with the second courses and the management of the service. Having ordered appetizers, first courses, and second courses, we found ourselves at 2:00 PM—after having been seated at 12:30—still waiting for the second courses, while the tables that arrived after us were being served regularly. When I pointed this out to the waitress, politely telling her, "We're waiting for the main courses," her reaction was completely inappropriate. Instead of handling the request professionally, going to the kitchen to check, or simply reassuring us, she immediately became defensive, launching a sterile and impolite argument, justifying herself by saying that "the others had to eat too." This was unacceptable behavior toward a customer who was simply asking for information. Those who order an appetizer, first course, and second course have the same priority as those who only order a main course; otherwise, those who opt for a full meal are paradoxically penalized and condemned to wait hours! Using the excuse that "the others had to eat" is an absurd justification that makes those who ordered more feel like they're doing the other customers an injustice. Proof that the order had simply been forgotten in the kitchen is that the food arrived immediately after this discussion. The outcome was severely impacted: the meat, ordered rare, was literally raw and cold inside, and the fried food, though plentiful, also arrived cold. In conclusion, the restaurant has great potential due to its location and the quality of its ingredients, and the final bill was also modest and perfectly reasonable. Unfortunately, however, with the dining room full, there's a clear inability to manage the crowds and wait times, compounded by a service that needs to learn how to be polite and attentive to customers.

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!

14/07/2026: Lovely place with friendly and smiling staff! Fair prices, top-notch food!!!

08/07/2026: Excellent gastronomy just a few steps from the station

22/06/2026: Territorial excellence for over 30 years

15/06/2026: I haven't been there for a while but the last time I was there everything was perfect.

16/06/2026: A very appealing restaurant with excellent food. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere very pleasant. Although it's located near a road, the traffic noise is barely noticeable. There's ample parking, the location is convenient, and the landscaping is lovely. As mentioned, the food was delicious. The price-performance ratio is reasonable. Overall, it's highly recommended. My only suggestion for improvement: there's no printed menu available on-site; it can only be accessed via the website, Google, or Google Maps. This means you have to access the menu on your mobile phone to view it. I've seen menus accessed via QR code before (which I personally don't find ideal either), but this was even more cumbersome. We found this less than ideal, especially since it also caused problems loading the page. Without a mobile phone, it would have been impossible to view the menu. Perhaps a chalkboard or a poster would be a good compromise, so that the menu isn't exclusively available through Google. Hence the one-star deduction. ... Otherwise, it's a really nice restaurant with very good food and wine. There's a great selection of dishes, so there's something for everyone.

23/05/2026: The food and service have improved significantly, as has the location. The pizza, meat, and other dishes are delicious. The service is fairly quick and the price/quality ratio is good. Highly recommended!

30/07/2026: A truly enjoyable lunch, from start to finish. We shared an appetizer and ordered a main course each: everything was truly excellent, but the ricotta deserves a special mention. One of those seemingly simple things that ends up stealing the show from the entire meal. High quality, very fair prices, and a rare welcome. We left feeling decidedly satisfied.

18/07/2026: Everything was very good, I must try the Horatian appetizer!!!

15/06/2026: Unfortunately, the cornetti tasted very stale and were very expensive. The coffee was okay.

13/06/2026: Practically one of the very few places open on Monday for lunch, in the center of Maratea. We ordered parmigiana and baked lasagna, which tasted like they'd been reheated in the microwave. The salad had too much salt, at times it was inedible. At least the staff was friendly. The bathroom is inside.

30/07/2026: Care, attention and excellent choice of raw materials, resulting in excellent food and great professionalism

20/06/2026: Excellent pizza, really good and also excellent value for money!!!

24/01/2026: One word: "Home." Clean rooms and excellent food. Recommended.

08/01/2026: Everything was perfect, the place was welcoming, the owner was always kind and available at all hours and for every need, an experience definitely worth repeating.
