I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Potenza

08/05/2026: We had lunch for eight of us. We were convinced it was an osteria, so we thought we'd fill up with a good first course. Unfortunately, instead, we received meager gourmet dishes at medium-high prices. We won't be returning.

03/05/2026: A truly lovely dinner. The food was excellent: The spaghetti with pecorino cheese and truffle was excellent.

11/05/2026: Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. We had booked through TheFork expecting the same treatment as other customers, but during dinner we noticed significantly smaller portions compared to the same dishes served at nearby tables. This situation is quite disappointing, especially since I booked through the app purely for convenience and there was no discount, which, regardless, should never affect the quality of service or quantity. It's a shame, because the restaurant has potential in every way—from the quality offered, the consistently attentive service, to the location—but when a customer perceives such a marked difference in treatment, it's difficult to leave satisfied with the experience. It was our second time back; the first time we had a great time (booked without TheFork), but it was definitely our last.

06/03/2026: Excellent management, passionate and competent staff. Quiet atmosphere. Excellent food, traditional and innovative Lucanian flavors.

20/05/2026: Traditional Lucanian food... good... friendly owner... top

20/04/2026: The food is always excellent but I have to make one comment: the €3 cover charge seems a little excessive to me.

20/05/2026: A welcoming place where I can spend time with my children in complete tranquility. Michele's gourmet panzerotti are truly EXCELLENT, and the prices are the best in the area! I highly recommend it ✅

18/05/2026: The place is very quiet, beautiful, and clean. The food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money.

04/04/2026: As a true Bari native who has stayed in Lagopesole, I can honestly say that "Lo Sfizio" is better than a Michelin-starred restaurant. Absolutely 5 stars!

16/03/2026: And a welcoming place with the owner Rocco

07/05/2026: Welcoming people and delicious food. Must try.

06/05/2026: All in all, a nice place... we happened to be passing through and decided to stop. Honestly, we thought we'd spend a little less, considering we're in the middle of Basilicata and the trattorias and agriturismi here are cheap and the food is good. But all in all, the food was good, so it's fine.

04/01/2026: A grill and restaurant in the heart of Melfi. The staff is incredibly courteous and polite. The meats are high-quality, cooked to perfection. I'd gladly return, even just to enjoy the delicious bruschetta.

09/12/2025: Great place, great food and family atmosphere as well as excellent value for money

14/05/2026: Great experience, excellent quality food

13/05/2026: Excellent in every way. Hi Franco Guido

10/03/2026: This is a common take-away pasta place. They prepare pasta in the morning and sell them till evening so nothing wastes. The pasta is tasty, versions are interesting. 1 portion for 1 euro. Its a must visit for low-cost travelers

10/03/2026: Really very few options, no cheese included, no noodle options or sauce. After more than 100 years, they haven't learned anything.

13/01/2026: I'm from Potenza, but my maternal grandfather was from Palazzo. Well, browsing Google Maps and first finding a venue named after my all-time favorite band, I see it as a sign of destiny; I absolutely have to come!

30/03/2026: Recommended by a friend. Very good, the staff very attentive, helpful, and friendly. I would recommend it. We ate a typical dish, not being local, Ottodita with Lucanian pesto, excellent and flavorful. Reservations are recommended.

28/02/2026: I used to come here frequently years ago, the food was always good, but unfortunately the service has really gotten worse. Only one waiter takes orders, and the others ignore you even if you shout at them. The other waiters just bring the dishes, always getting to the wrong tables. To give you an idea of ​​the inconvenience: we sat down at 9:10 PM and they came to take our orders 30 minutes later, despite our repeated requests; they didn't even bring us the drinks menu. The pizza I finally ordered arrived at the next table, they took it away, and it disappeared... then an identical one arrived another half hour later, so I ate at 11:15 PM. The food was good, but it puts you off. Prices were also a bit higher than other restaurants in the area. I don't think we'll be back.

24/05/2026: Typical Lucanian trattoria, in a beautiful, large stone room. I expected the stew to be more tender... Fair prices!

17/05/2026: A typical Lucanian restaurant, serving simple dishes featuring local ingredients and offering a warm welcome. The restaurant is simple and clean. We had lunch, and the appetizers were excellent (local cured meats and cheeses), followed by a simple and flavorful first course, a roast meat main course, and dessert. Everything was delicious, without elaborate details, served in just the right quantities, and with fresh cutlery. Special mention goes to the owner, Vincenzo, who is helpful, friendly, and very professional.

08/03/2026: This dairy's products are all exceptional: mozzarella, ricotta, braided cheese, and cheese...all delicious and worth trying!

24/02/2026: Lucky is he who can take advantage of it, every time I go to Potenza I can't help but stock up.

28/03/2026: Everything was perfect! Excellent pizza and meat, and the staff were welcoming. I highly recommend it.

09/03/2026: Welcoming restaurant They make you feel at home Excellent food Highly recommended I'll gladly return
