9.5/10very nice settings. excellent food, good service, the only remarks is about waiting time (a bit long ) and kitchen organisation ( the last guest was served 15 min after the first one)

10/10‘Divine’ food was served in this picturesque Osteria. A professional introduction to dishes before ordering was incredibly helpful. The venue within an ancient stone building is incredible. Service excellent. Greatly recommended!

9.5/10Food was excellent! Service was as well, considering the large tour groups to be accommodated. Made for a somewhat noisy meal.

8/10Lovely restaurant with great character. Plenty of options for my gluten free diet. The only disappointment was a young waiter who said I could not have any 'alternative' potatoes (baked potates were not provided due to cross contamination), so I had some beautiful pork, but nothing to accompany it. My husband had a delicious tuna pasta dish. The burrata antipasto and the mussel soup were equally good.

10/10The food quality is superb. I took a steak and my wife pork with mustard sauce. Both were excellent, tender and very tasty. Wine was very good and very reasonably priced. The place is quite and service is very good.

6/10The food was ok, nothing great as you would hope for in southern Italy. The burrata was delicious but I ordered a “angus tagliata” and got a random piece of meat (with a lot of fat), didn’t even eat it.

10/10Very family friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The stir-fried vegetables allow you to fully enjoy the quality of locally produced produce. The tuna with Saracen breadcrumbs and the tuna and bottarga pasta were excellent.

10/10The restaurant was easy to find. The staff took time to explain all the dishes & made great recommendations for the wine. We shared the mixed starter which was delicious as was my tuna with fresh spaghetti. My husband enjoyed the entrecôte steak. It was very good value & we would highly recommend trying the restaurant.

3/10The food was just awful. The vegetarian starter tasted practically nothing. The risotto with safran looked and tasted like bad porrige. Very disappointing as they had good reviews. Very expensive as well.

9/10Beautiful restaurant, but despite our reservations, we were shoved in a back room that lacked the ambiance of the beautiful rooms in the main area. Felt we were treated with disdain because we weren’t Italian. He other tables definitely received better consideration in service and seating. Food was excellent.

How much did we like it? Heading back tomorrow for a second night! Pork in an amazing mustard sauce was my highlight. My wife had a pasta in a rich truffles sauce with guanciale. Both were top class dishes plus had some great recommended wines

9.5/10We had an excellent, quite inexpensive meal at this restaurant, with three friends. We could not believe the size of the portions, and everything was tasty. It was also quiet, unlike many other places, so we could actually hear one another talk!

10/10We booked for 8pm and arrived a little early to find we were the first guests and we received a great welcome and introductions to the special dishes and the wine choices all of which proved to be excellent. Within 45 minutes the place was buzzing but the staff were still attentive and full of interesting info about the historical premises. A lovely evening and excellent food.

10/10What a superb meal and exceptional find on Fork. When you're in a town you don't know, you would easily walk straight past this small restaurant. We ordered the seafood and vegetable antipasto platters and every ingredient was authentic and tasty. The desserts were 'to die for'. The owner and chef partner are welcoming and talented and the young waiter was very friendly, helpful and spoke very good English. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

10/10The food is great, original and well cooked. The restaurant is quite fancy which means it is not for all kind of wallets but it worth it . A good note for the wine too.

7/10I went to have dinner with my partner who is celiac. They proposed us to seat inside rather then outside and we unfortunately chose to have our dinner outside. Not privacy at all, a lot of people walking and cars literally next to our table. I went inside to pay and the atmosphere looked very cozy and warm. The taste of the dishes was nice. For our personal taste the gluten free pasta was overcooked and my pasta was slightly undercooked. The service was okay as well as the price.
