I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Basilicata

22/09/2025: Spectacular food! Starting with the appetizers, featuring local, authentic Lucanian products, an endless variety that's already filling. The eggs with sausage and crusco peppers were an unforgettable dish! The first courses were also excellent, also prepared with local ingredients. Unfortunately, I was too full to try the meat-based main courses, but I'll definitely be back next time! The place is very cute, although a little hard to spot from the street because it's next to a gas station. Service was far too fast; I would have preferred a few minutes' pause between appetizers and first courses to better enjoy each course and prepare for another hearty meal.

22/09/2025: Great experience, everything locally sourced. I recommend it: excellent quality, food, and quantity. In fact, I'll be celebrating my 60th birthday there. Greetings from Una Tarantina sitting at table 4 yesterday, September 21, 25

02/11/2025: Excellent location, exquisite food, impeccable service. In response to Mrs. Spagnuolo, I think she would be better off eating at her place. Regards.

27/10/2025: I was there yesterday, October 26, 2025, with a group. From the phone calls, I had a pleasant response to what others had told me, and it was all confirmed at lunch. The portions were generous (the appetizers were endless), and all the other dishes were truly delicious. They were accommodating to requests for changes. The price was fair for the dishes and portions. And then you could see all their cows grazing, a true immersion in nature! I highly recommend it.

07/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, very tasty food, friendly and pleasant host, fair prices

01/10/2025: I highly recommend it. Cozy place. Very good food. Fair value for money. The friendly owners were the highlight.

21/10/2025: We spent a lovely weekend at Pago. The atmosphere is very rustic and decidedly clean, with locally sourced cuisine using top-quality ingredients. We had the opportunity to dine and have breakfast on the property, and what can I say? All the ingredients were excellent, with generous breakfasts featuring yogurt, fruit, nuts, jams, and homemade desserts. Dinner also included a selection of simple and elaborate dishes, all unique and delicious. We also visited their farm several times, where my daughter was entertained by many new animal friends. It's conveniently located between Nova Siri, Rotondella, and Policoro. Definitely an experience worth repeating and highly recommended.

18/10/2025: We felt like royalty at the Il Pago farmhouse. We met Piera by chance, and she immediately became a friend, extremely helpful and professional, humane, and a good adviser on what to do in the area. She was a welcome I've never experienced before. She's an animal lover, and she made us feel at ease right away. We let our little girl play with the farm animals, and we met so many wonderful people, not to mention her brother, who is a whiz in the kitchen. We were so lucky to meet them and will definitely be visiting them again and again. Highly recommended.

14/09/2025: Super good pizza, very kind staff!

02/09/2025: Excellent pizza 🍕 Very friendly staff ☺️

04/11/2025: A truly fantastic discovery in Satriano di Lucania! At Caluale, everything is simply perfect: a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and dishes that captivate from the first bite. The appetizers are rich and delicious, with many unique options... but the fried arugula deserves a special mention: an incredible surprise, wow! 🤩 The first courses are a triumph of flavors: the spaghetti with fossa cheese and truffle is truly heavenly, a combination that will leave you speechless. The second course is also excellent, the lamb Satriano-style, tender and flavorful to perfection. And the crusco pepper...it's truly crusco! A culinary experience you absolutely must repeat! 👏❤️

03/11/2025: Exaggerated for the price quality

12/10/2025: Worst panna cotta of my life, and I’ve had a lot of panna cotta. I’ve also never been ignored for so long while sitting at the table. Left feeling incredibly dissatisfied despite a steak that was cooked perfectly.

12/10/2025: Don't be fooled by the number of reviews, like I was :) You don't have many options for food, I came specifically for the pasta. The place requires reservations, we went in without because there were only 2 of us, but it's not worth the wait or the disappointment of not having a seat. Overall, in my opinion it's a very overrated place. Popular doesn't mean good.

02/11/2025: EVERYTHING PERFECT....EXCELLENCE IN THE DISHES

02/11/2025: 🗓️Last ​​weekend in Basilicata, we had dinner at the "Sotto la Torre" restaurant in Satriano di Lucania. 🤵‍♂️The hospitality and skill of the staff, both in serving and explaining the dishes served—all expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and with balanced flavors—made it a pleasant discovery. I think it deserves greater recognition, not only from locals but also from tourists like us. And why not, in my opinion, it also deserves some recognition. 🏆 Here's what we were delighted with. Welcome aperitif: Peperone crusco with ricotta mousse and duck speck. Paired with: Prosecco di Valdobbiadene. And from their bread: Peperone crusco, Sesame white bread, Turmeric and Ferrandina olives, Cuttlefish ink. Cuttlefish egg in a crust of its ink on a potato mousse, stracciatella, Stigliano pistachio, and a dusting of beetroot. Dry-marinated salmon with: Zucchini with mint, passion fruit dressing. Accompanied by: Watermelon sgroppino. Podolica beef tartare with: tuna sauce, almonds, capers, and balsamic vinegar. Slow-cooked egg on a cheese fondue, savory crumble, truffle, and cardoncelli mushrooms from the Lucanian mountains. Saffron Carnaroli rice with: Red shrimp tartare, buffalo mozzarella sauce, raspberry caviar, and parsley powder. Double-cooked octopus on a roasted pepper sauce, purple potato mousse, and sweet and sour Tropea onion. All accompanied by Verbo Bianco, from the cellars of Venosa. 2024 Small pastries with: Melon sphere, Pineapple, Carrot mousse, Creamy ricotta and mango. And to finish, Cheesecake mousse with berries. 🧳 If you're near Satriano di Lucania, you can't miss it. 😋 You won't regret it. 🤩

07/10/2025: Excellent home-cooked cuisine of the highest quality. Meat aged in various ways and grilled on lava stone. The owners and staff are friendly and kind.

24/09/2025: A great place to spend a pleasant evening. The meat is excellent.

21/10/2025: Restaurant recommended by friends in the area. Truly a stunning location, friendly and very professional staff. Excellent and well-seasoned food. Highly recommended.

12/10/2025: An elegant atmosphere, friendly staff, you feel at ease, delicious quality food

27/09/2025: A superb experience at Ferro e Fuoco! Delicious meat, with a menu that respects the local area and embraces innovation! The staff is truly friendly, with a special mention for Luisa, whose return has brought the restaurant's usual cheerful atmosphere back! I'll be back soon.

27/09/2025: Great place!! Excellent food! Mrs. Luisa and her husband are wonderful!

22/10/2025: Simple but good food. A bit expensive for what's served. I wouldn't recommend it.

20/10/2025: Excellent quality raw materials, excellent service.

02/10/2025: Awesome aperol spritz and negroni, very friendly Staff. Highly recommend!

16/09/2025: Besides having very nice and affordable wine, I left my wallet there and the business managed to find me on social media and took the time to mail it to me. Incredibly kind of them to do so.

30/06/2025: Mille Grazie! We had a panini with mortadella and mozzarella! Great and highly recommended! O

10/06/2025: I'm from Matera but I've lived outside for many years. I emphasize this because going to Anna's means tasting the TRUE FLAVORS OF LUCAN. Out of this world lasagna, broad beans and chicory, orecchiette turnip tops, fried breadcrumbs and crusco. Braciole, sausages and so on and so forth. It's all stratospheric! Well done and kind ❤️
