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.

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.

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.

13/08/2026: Oscar-worthy ice cream. Must try, wide selection of flavors.

12/08/2026: The best ice cream I've had this summer. Refined and flavorful flavors without being cloyingly sweet. Clean and friendly. I stumbled upon it by chance, but it was a truly positive experience!

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.

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.

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!

11/07/2026: I gave it a very high review, but it was entirely deserved. The dishes were delicious, and the view was priceless. The desserts, made with incredible care and attention to detail, deserve a special mention. Highly recommended, not only for the food but especially for the welcoming atmosphere and the direct sea view. 10 out of 10!

07/07/2026: A truly excellent experience at Ristorante Da Cesare in Cersuta di Maratea. The staff was extremely attentive, friendly, and professional, with prompt service and meticulous attention to detail. The dishes are excellent, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients that bring out the flavors of the sea. Making everything even more special is the spectacular sea view, creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant: we'll definitely be back!

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: Excellent christening dinner. The food was well-cooked and very well-served in a timely manner.

24/07/2026: Sotto la Torre Restaurant – Satriano di Lucania What a marvel. Arriving at Sotto la Torre is an experience in itself: surrounded by greenery, with that open view and a location designed down to the smallest detail, you're welcomed by an elegant yet warm atmosphere, without being forced. You immediately sense authenticity and care. The cuisine is simply extraordinary. Top-quality ingredients, traditional Lucanian dishes reinterpreted with intelligence, elegance, and respect for authentic flavors. Each course is a small masterpiece: balanced, generous, tastefully presented, and capable of surprising without ever being overbearing. The food is excellent, and you leave full and satisfied, with the feeling of having experienced something more than just a simple dinner. The staff is another strong point: kind, attentive, professional, and truly friendly. They make you feel welcomed and pampered, without ever being intrusive. Service that makes all the difference. The value for money is fair and more than deserved. Here, you don't just pay for the food, you pay for the complete experience. We will definitely return, and not just once. Sotto la Torre is a true gem that enhances this wonderful region, a place that deserves to be known and protected. We sincerely hope it always remains this way: authentic, generous, and extraordinary. Highly recommended for those seeking true quality, not just appearances.

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!!!
