Where to eat: the 48 best restaurants in Maratea

Super quiet off-season lunch, the staff made us feel super welcome! Amazing selection of products with good wine. The dishes were traditional with a twist of that made the difference. Highly recommended

Lovely restaurant! A bit tricky to find at first as it’s tucked away at the back of the garden, but definitely worth it. The dishes are made with local products from the region, full of flavor and authenticity. The owner/waiter is very passionate and dedicated, which really adds to the experience. Delicious food and a great atmosphere!

What an amazing find. The service is 100% with lovely warm and friendly staff and the food is delicious, tasty and home cooked. The front of house staff are also knowledgeable on wine. I will defo go back

A fantastic experience with great food incredible service (the two brothers provided an impeccable service, were super attentive, and suggested a brilliant local wine). We tried the tasting menu which was great value. The parmigiana was amazing and you could tell that the recipe was an old family one. The ambience was great too. Lovely views at dusk with sights of the Christ the redeemer which made the experience even more memorable. Thanks for a top quality evening.

My goodness. I am still having a dinner with my friends and writing this review. We are traveling for three weeks and ate in many good restaurants including Michelin Star. But this place is really special and deserves all stars. Delicious food, excellent service and very pleasant atmosphere. This restaurant is # 1 by all measures. Try it. You will not regret.

Wonderful family business with great menu and wine list. Service is super friendly and competent. We can 100% recommend.

A sublime atmosphere for a place that offers excellent dishes inspired by Lucanian tradition, prepared with top-quality ingredients and served impeccably. Congratulations, guys!

First off i like to say I have never in my life written a review. This place is very dangerous! There is nothing fresh about this food which is sad because it is on the port. The antipasto came out first which was okay, then the muscles which were not bad. But the octopus was inedible. The taste was like old frozen octopus that was defrosted quickly. Then came the first plates. Wich was a pasta with shrimp and stracciatella. This is what set it off, not only was there no flavor but the pasta was way overcooked and the best part was the head of the shrimp and the tail were 2 different species of shrimp. You could tell that the head of the shrimp were reused as a decoration because the inside was hollow and the other shrimp smelled and tasted like it was defrosted incorrectly, the meat of the tail was crumbling as soon as you cut it. I don't care about the money spent but the health of the customers is number 1 and they don't seem to know that. I am in business myself and I do not understand how this place is still open.

Great experience! Rosita the waiter was super professional! I will come back thanks to her kindness and the quality of the food

Rosita is very good, caring, wonderful in table service. Food and view is 1000/10 🙏🏻

The location, the view and the food were amazing. However, it was the friendly service, their great effort to make us feel as comfortable as possible which makes this one of our favorite restaurants in Italy. Even though they spoke little English they did a good job at explaining everything we needed to know. Rosita is 'strong', funny and a great waitress as are all the other whose names we don't know.

Wonderful view that was matched by the food!!!

Do not visit! We didn't have a good time. The staff didn't know English and was impatient, burrata was good but everything else was bearly edible. To top it all of super over priced.

Waste of money don’t sit here! Food was below average and pricy on top of all. But the main thing that made the experience horrible was the rude staff that didn’t know English with zero hospitality

I would only recommend this place for the view. We were 3 people with 4 different kind of pizza, every single one was very disappointing. The ingredients were not classical and seemed completely random. We trusted the menu but everything seemed like it was mixed together without a plan. One of the pizzas was even very bitter. The classical one was the best, but still not very good. The drinks had almost no alcohol in them but were very expensive. Service was ok, but not outstanding. The only star is for the great view and nice Ambiente.

Very beautiful restaurant,with great views to the port..Great Pasta and sea food options,very friendly staff very good service! Nice prices

Amazing view of the port, very cool vibe with live music. We have not tried the food but only drinks and it was ok

Excellent seafood. Recommend the swordfish and the tuna with pesto. Nice view over the harbor. Staff refused to serve the kid a pizza. The service was slow and inattentive, they also forgot to serve a dish.

Great pizza, great view and helpful staff! We hadn’t booked a table but the staff were very accommodating and managed to squeeze us on the bar looking over the port. Super friendly staff who offered us mosquito spray and helped us learn a little more Italian. Highly recommend

Very delicious food with high quality, nice atmosphere and beautiful view!

Worst service ever. We (and other guests) were comepletely ignored from the moment we sat down. Food is ok, pizza’s were average. If you are looking for a nice night out, skip this place.

I would like to say that first and foremost, they are extremely overpriced so be wary. The food was very delicious but I have to say the portions were laughable. I felt scammed because almost everyone was left unfulfilled. Some actually order a second main course because of the size. I ordered a small tomato pasta dish for my child and that was 20€ alone. Knowing the median of cuisine prices in Italy I felt disappointed to know how much they were charging. The wine was the most sensibly priced item on the menu. We had a good laugh about the experience which they probably didn’t like but we could’ve been more severely offended from being underfed and overcharged. 120€ for two people and 3 children’s servings. :’D 190€ total for our table.

I have seen mixed reviews on this restaurant which I don’t understand at all. We found the food very good, the staff lovely, food fairly priced (delicious catch of the day at €25 per person), and the sommelier gave us very good wine by the glass (Mezzocielo - red) at a reasonable price. Recommended!

A wonderful place, refined in every detail. It was a real pleasure to celebrate a meal there. The dishes are delicious, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is so pleasant that it's hard to leave. A must-see in Calabria. Thank you so much for the excellent dinner.

Good food and service especially all the wines are very nice with a cheap price. Highly recommended.

We were lucky enough to get a reservation. The care and attention to detail is obvious. The food was outstanding. We appreciated the service in English.

We visited here last week whilst staying at the Hotel Murmann. We were so impressed with the food and service and also the kindness and hospitality of the owners we went again the second night!! Food outstanding, real care and love has gone into their menu. We would love to return.

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! I had a delicious dinner, I would recommend the Tuna tonné above all! Beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful hosts made us feel more than welcome! I recommend it to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again. Thank you for the amazing time.

We are foodies and really enjoyed our evening. Nice location and good food.

Great food! Nice ambiance, highly recomended

Great dishes, quality and preparation. Recommended!

Excellent staff and food. Went 3 times in 2 weeks!

Really good authentic Italian food

Beautiful interior decor

(Translated by Google) Very expensive, see receipt. 2 first courses, a side dish, 1 wine, the least expensive, rosé, from a wine list with absurd markups, 1 water 88 euros. Not feasible even in a tourist place like Maratea (Original) Molto caro, vedi scontrino. 2 primi un contorno 1 vino, il meno caro, rosato, di una carta vini con ricarichi assurdi, 1 acqua 88 euro. Improponibile anche in un posto turistico come maratea

Good service but I would have liked a bit more quantity of food per plate. However, quality was excellent.

(Translated by Google) The owner Mr. Laino and the staff are very polite, kind, courteous and helpful. Welcoming, clean and quiet place. Excellent quality food and excellent prices (Original) Il proprietario il Signor Laino e il personale molto educato,gentile,cortese e disponibile. Locale accogliente, pulito e tranquillo.Cibo di ottima qualità e ottimi prezzi

(Translated by Google) Despite the late hour (10:20 PM), the kitchen was still open, and the staff was attentive and friendly. I was standing near the music booth, so they asked me if I'd mind if they'd turn it down. The food was excellent, every course delicious. I wanted to order a second course, but I couldn't stand it anymore. I highly recommend the lovely, well-maintained atmosphere. Stop by, you won't regret it. (Original) Nonostante l’ora tarda (22:20) la cucina ancora aperta, personale attento e gentile. Stavo vicino al box della musica quindi mi hanno chiesta e mi desse fastidio avrebbero abbassato il volume. Il cibo ottimo, ogni portata deliziosa, avrei voluto prendere anche il secondo ma non ce la facevo più. Consigliabile ambiente carino e curato, passatevi non ve ne pentirete.

(Translated by Google) I don't write many reviews, only for those who deserve them. An intimate little place right in the center; wonderful food. (Original) Faccio poche recensioni, solo a chi merita. Posticino intimo in pieno centro; cibo meraviglioso.

(Translated by Google) In the center of the splendid town of Maratea. Polite and friendly staff. It is possible to taste both sea and land dishes. Balanced quality-price ratio. The only flaw: some ceramic pieces from the appetizer plate mixed with the seafood salad. (Original) In pieno centro della splendida cittadina di Maratea. Personale gentile e cordiale. È possibile gustare piatti sia di mare che di terra. Rapporto qualità prezzo equilibrato. Unica pecca: dei pezzi di ceramica del piatto dell'antipasto mescolati con l'insalata di mare.

(Translated by Google) Tourist place with two shifts of service at 8.00 pm and 9.30 pm. Homemade appetizer, five types of fish, even not local ones (salmon and cod), a little cold and rested. Very quick first courses, very good pasta but very greasy sauces. Very fast second courses, too much and in fact the dishes are not fragrant they seem a little tired. Good but without infamy and without praise. (Original) Posto turistico con due turni di servizio alle 20.00 ed alle 21.30. Antipasto della casa cinque tipi di pesce, anche non proprio del posto (salmone e baccalà) un po’ freddo e riposato. Primi velocissimi la pasta molto buon ma i sughi molto unti. Secondi molto veloci, troppo ed infatti le pietanze non sono fragranti sembrano un po’ stanche. Buono ma senza infamia e senza lode.

(Translated by Google) Excellent food, with a wide selection of delicious local dishes. Located in the heart of Maratea, it's perfect for a pleasant evening in the village. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. (Original) Cibo di ottima qualità, con un'ampia scelta di buonissimi piatti locali. In pieno centro a Maratea, perfetto per una piacevole serata nel borgo. Il personale è gentile e preparato.

I’m angry. All was well until I was told to go in to pay my bill. One pizza and wine. Gave the man €50. He gives me €30 in change, with no bill, nothing. I tell him there’s no way this cost €20. I demand a receipt. He types it in and the receipt says €20, but no breakdown of the actual items, including service charge. I told him this is unacceptable! I demand a receipt! He then prints it out and gives me back 4 euros with a smug attitude of a criminal caught in the act of his theft. This was attempted theft. It was no error, no mistake. His contempt was typical of a career thief. God knows how many people this man has stolen from, and like a sociopath he doesn’t give a damn. I’ve been in Italy a long time, and this is the first scum bag I’ve had to deal with. What a disappointment. Go ahead tourist, eat here, but you better add up your own bill because this person cannot be trusted.

Great food and friendly staff.

(Translated by Google) There were 4 of us for dinner without a reservation but we still found a table. A beautiful outdoor setting, very cool and with a beautiful view of the sunset. Very good food that meets expectations, especially the appetizers and main courses. Absolutely to take the cruschi peppers with grilled caciocavallo and the fried cod. The only flaw was the waiting time between the appetizers and the main course which was more than half an hour. In any case, a highly recommended restaurant! (Original) Siamo arrivati in 4 a cena senza aver prenotato ma abbiamo trovato ugualmente un tavolo. Un bell'ambiente all' aperto, molto fresco e con una bella visuale sul tramonto. Cibo molto buono che soddisfa le aspettative, soprattutto gli antipasti e i secondi. Assolutamente da prendere i peperoni cruschi con caciocavallo grigliato e il baccalà fritto. Unica pecca il tempo d'attesa tra gli antipasti e la portata principale che è stato di più di mezz'ora. Comunque ristorante molto consigliato!

(Translated by Google) I recently visited this place. The atmosphere is welcoming, but the decor isn't very tasteful (I might recommend updating the outdoor awnings). The staff was quite helpful, although service was a bit slow at times, especially during busy periods. As for the menu, it's extensive and offers a wide selection; we found the pizza to be very good. Highly recommended! (Original) Sono stata recentemente in questo locale. L’ambiente è accogliente, ma con un arredamento poco curato(magari consiglio di rinnovare i tendoni posti all'aperto).Ilpersonale è stato abbastanza disponibile, anche se a tratti un po’ lento nel servizio, soprattutto nei momenti di maggiore affluenza. Per quanto riguarda il menù, è vasto e con ampie scelte,abbiamo trovato molto buona la pizza.Che consiglio!

(Translated by Google) The pizza is excellent, and the location is simple but very nice. The only downside is the really slow service. The prices are average. All in all, highly recommended. (Original) La pizza è ottima e la location è semplice ma molto carina. Unica nota dolente servizio veramente lento. I prezzi sono nella media. Tutto sommato consigliato

(Translated by Google) Food... I ordered the rib eye, and I couldn't chew two-thirds of it. It was simply raw. Service was average. Atmosphere? There are much nicer restaurants. I'm adding the menu in English. My wife ordered the Grilled Pesce. "No comment." In summary: I do not recommend it. (Original) Jedzenie.... Zamówiłem żeberko , którego 2/3 nie byłem w stanie pogryźć. Było poprostu surowe Obsługa na poziome przeciętnym. Klimat ? Jest dużo ładniejszych restauracji. Menu dorzucam w języku angielskim. Żona zamówiła Grilata di Pesce. "No comment" Podsumowując: NIE POLECAM (I do not recommend)

Unique blend of excellent elements. The high quality of the ingredients marries the mastery of the chef's competence. The taste of the cuisine is elevated with a selection of top-tier wines. Altogether complemented by supreme service and the magical maritime atmosphere in the harbor of Maratea. Super recommended !!!

Just had the most amazing lunch at the beautiful balcony of Lanterna Rossa. Service was impeccable and the waitresses made a real fuss over our toddler and made sure she got some child friendly food. He pasta was almost as delicious as the seafood pasta dishes we had. Bread and oil and amuse buches was all delicious too. Highly recommend having lunch at this gem!

Best restaurant in the region. Very sophisticated cuisine - on par with the best restaurants in London, Milan and everywhere else I have resided, whilst maintaining a local authenticity.

To say that here is tasty it’s to say nothing! In this place you can find the most delicious oysters, super fresh fish, homemade pasta and amazing combination of food created by chef Dario Amaro. You will not find better place in Maratea then this restaurant, so even don’t lose your time! Thank you for this service and experience. Wish big big luck to your place! Hopefully will see you in list of Michelin restaurant very soon!

Loved to eat here. We had two simple spaghetti, which were pretty good, but the highlight goes to the atmosphere. Quiet, sunny, and overlooking the marina, it is definitely worth the stop if you are anywhere near.

High ambitions without being pretentious. Friendly. Recommended. Also view if that interest you

Excellent dining experience 🥰

I bought 3 bottles here, two of them, both from the same producer had deteriorated caps. The wine was not drinkable and, after contacting this seller, they refused to check and replace the product, as it would have been their precise duty, pretending that this was not possible. I lost arourd 60euros, but they lost my trust. Improfessionals and cheaters, to avoid.

I came here about 2:00 pm. The little town was quiet, but this place was open. This is both a shop for local products and a small restaurant with 4 tables. The atmosphere is like eating in someone’s home. The menu is short, but I had the eggplant parmigiana. The owner was a very friendly woman, and the service was excellent. The dish was just the right size, and the taste was wonderful!! Very satisfying and highly recommended. The price was very fair as well.

Incredible. Fantastic experience. Delicious food, incredible service, you feel like you're being welcomed into a home, like your being fed by a favourite auntie. We were spoilt and savoured everything.

Wonderful small family restaurant in old town Matera. We had lunch, which was home made pasta and house wine. They also have a wine and food shop.

I can highly recommend this place. Really authentic Italian food and family friendly staff. It's like being invited to a private home in Italy. But you have to make reservations. They only have 4 small tables. If you really want to experience a piece of Italy - food wise... Go here 😍

A place you will remember with joy! Lots of personality, great ingredients and good music. A must if you are in Maratea and love food, wine and places with soul.

Great food cooked to order. Small atmospheric dining area.

Have enjoyed our gelato at Emilio’s several times over the last few years. Gentleman behind the counter is very kind. We have loved all the flavours we have had. A lot of pride taken in this business, and place kept very clean. Love the cool decor and the views.

Totally overpriced and unpleasant service, service in a very rude way. To sum it up: icecream without manners.

I'd call it the ice cream scam as they give you very few quantity: half a cup for 3€, and quality? So and so. Guys don't let you get cheated by the location (like I did :\) and move to someone more honest, you'll find thousands.

Nice idea for ice cream… about breakfast I would not recommend at all.. we came for breakfast on purpose with the intent to taste the specific products as suggested..but most of the “famous” ones like “niko romito golosa breakfast” were not available at 9.30 in the morning (“maybe during the day”)… multiple products not available…table outside not available due to low service personnel…quite upsetting experience..for sure below the expectations of a “signature shop”

Excellent homemade ice tea and granita. Lovely staff.

wow. best ice cream in our Italian holiday ;-)

Really good!

Had the best meal here! So good we came back the next day! Our waiter Nikola was next level nice and treated us like kings. Right on the main square upstairs so a great atmosphere and great view of the sun setting behind the mountains. 100% recommend!

A classy restaurant with the outside seats overlooking a small town square and inside with a charming atmosphere. The dishes were very nice, creative, and with a local flavor, my favourite was the fried ravioli with ragout. The cocktails are also great.

Great food and good service, too bad they don't know much English, but good food can be mimed. Fully recommend!

We ended up in this restaurant by mistake and were surprised by how delicious the food was and how professional the owner is. Best food during our vacation!!! We will definitely be back if in town again.

Great wine and ravioli dishes, super nice that they made orange fresh for the kid, even though it was not on the menu. The pork chops dish was weird, very fatty. We didn't understand or liked it.

Very nice Restaurant with friendly service. I asked for a vegetarian dish the waiter was very friendly and offered me three different vegetarian dishes which were not even on the menu card. They made a local homemade fresh pasta dish which was something new and very delicious👍😊

We got oysters & tuna as a starter and cernia & ravioli as a main with a very nice bottle of Entre-Deux-Mers (blanc). I have to say that this is by far the most well thought-out and enticing menu we've found in Maratea so far...! The Manager Pasquale gave us good suggestions to make sure we would get a proper taste of the local flavors Highly recommended!

highlight of our visit. They specialize in refined takes on local specialties, with incredibly fresh seafood, thoughtful presentation, and flavors that reflect the region's best. The wine selection was excellent, and the setting—just off the main square—offered a peaceful, charming atmosphere perfect for a relaxed evening. Warm hospitality, exceptional food, and a sense of place that’s hard to find. Don’t miss it!

Super nice restaurant with many vegan options in Maratea. The service was great, the food delicious and the atmosphere very enjoyable. We‘ve struggled a bit to find vegan food that wouldn’t be pizza or pasta based during our trip. So finding this place in Maratea with a variety of vegan options was an absolute joy!

An amazing hidden gem. We didn't book but they did accommodate us. We had a starter and two mains. The food was really fresh. The service was impecable. Definately recommend.

I just went to dinner to this lovely and traditional typical southern Italian restaurant located in the picturesque and old town of Matera and it’s one of the best authentic experiences I have ever had in Italy. As an Italian I can’t recommend this place enough from the service to the food everything was just excellent. We got the octopus and the fried calamari and anchovies as starters and the tartufo pasta as the main and it was delicious. You could tell they put a lot of care in everything they do. And the service was super friendly and wholesome.

We stumbled across this amazing little restaurant. The food was out of this world! So tasty and fresh. The owner explained the background to each dish and recommended a very good local rosè! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Maratea! A wonderful experience with a view of Christ the Redeemer

Nice little restaurant in charming Maratea's side streets but pretty close to the main one. Absolutely delicious meals, from starters to desserts and great service. A little on the pricy side but well worth the money. Also kinda bland music which is however typical for these kinds of restaurants and it serves its purpose well after all (it's definitely better than radio or bad playlist). Overall great experience and whole-heartedly recommended!

Amazing wine, great atmosphere and the kindest staff. They took us in for drinks and bites late night and we have a memorable experience

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!

It was such a lovely experience. Even though the restaurant does not advertise it, there are quite a few vegan options. From homemade tagliatelle with mushrooms to gnocchi with black truffle. The owner was very warm and welcoming.

If you are looking for something else then your basic Italian restaurant. Look no more. This is the place to have authentic generous homemade cuisine. Thank you Antonio. Great guy so many stories to tell. Beautiful homemade wine and pasta. We had a great an amazing time and felt welcomed. 🇦🇺🇫🇷

The restaurant is amazing! It feels like home and the food is made with love! Thank you!

Very good experience, food was amazing and service as well. We were given recommendations regarding what to eat and everything was slow food. Extremely suitable for vegetarians, had many options and we ended up eating dishes we hadn't had before in our 10 days of travelling through Italy. We had ceasars mushroom (ovolo) both as an appetiser salad and as a main with pappardelle. Both were good but the pappardelle was better than both the pappardelle porcini we have had previously during the trip.

Amazing starters, incredible fresh pasta! We enjoyed our dinner SO MUCH. thanks for everything!

This restaurant deserves at least four Michelin stars. I highly recommend it!

Packed place with locals on a Friday evening. Nice place and good local vibe, but the food is not great. Very mediocre

Very fresh seafood, portion size are normal and not exagerated. The staff is very friendly and the kitchen wad prompt by preparing the dishes. Menu is clear and translated also in english. I really recommend this place

I really loved Da Cesare, especially the location, which is absolutely wonderful. The only “challenge” — though I wouldn’t call it a downside — is that it’s hard to find a table. You need to call well in advance, but I guess that’s just how it is for popular places. Overall, a fantastic experience that’s worth planning ahead for.

An incredible place! Great food, even better service.

We’re staying nearby and finally decided to try here after passing it all the time, had an absolutely spectacular experience - great view with a perfect sunset, the tuna steak was one of the best we’ve ever had and instantly regretted ordering just one instead of three, and seafood risotto was very clean and refreshing. Salad full of fresh greens and tomatoes. Warm, prompt service, dessert was perfect. Completely packed full of reservations on a Monday, best endorsement there is.

Nice food..but service unexpected very low

Great setting. Friendly staff. It excels because the ingredients are fresh, fresh, fresh. Seafood risotto is outstanding.

The ravioli with mussels is literally the best thing I have eaten in Italy! Everything we had was exceptional. The owner and his son were very helpful and absolutely the nicest, patient people. The pistachio ricotta dessert was also to die for. It's a very relaxed, seaside restaurant. Highly recommend!

A nice covered patio to dine under, with a view to the little port, or what actually is a marina. Grilled Amberjack fillets and a side of oven baked red onions from Tropea. All very tasty. You pay a little more due to location, but that’s okay. The service is excellent!! It’s evident that this is a family run business.

Wow! What a fantastic gem we stumbled across last night. It’s the exact kind of restaurant experience we have been hoping for on our travels through southern Italy. The view from the restaurant patio is absolutely stunning and it was magical watching the dusk slowly turn to night while overlooking the small bay of Maratea. The food was really quite excellent. Highlights included a deliciously interesting and surprising roasted red onion which was recommended by our server. The pastas were truly great and the best we’ve had so far in our week of travel. I LOVED my anchovy spaghetti that had a hint of clove spice to it which was something that really elevated the dish. Fish was well cooked and fresh. Highly recommend this magical little spot!

What a wonderful experience! Wr could not find anything open and a local referred us here and it did not disappoint! The service was absolutely amazing, so friendly, warm and welcoming as well as patient with our lack of Italian! Then the food blew us away, my partner loved the shrimp pasta, my fried seafood mix was devine as well as my parent in laws barbecue seafood mix and seafood ravioli. We highly recommend! To finish we had the lemon sorbet which was flavoursome and velvety, and the local cake which me and my mother in law and I wish to learn how to make when we go home as it was just so good! We wanted another 😂 Shame we were only here for the day would happily be back many more times!

Lovely restaurant overlooking the port with such lovely and attentive service, yummy food and friendly and well prepared staff. We definitely recommend eating here. They’re also super careful when it comes to allergies, especially with my husband being a coeliac. Thanks again! We will definitely be back

A bit of a surprise package. Ate here by accident and loved it. The owner was a lot of fun, and all three courses were fabulous, especially the fried mixed seafood and the chocolate pear dessert. View from the outside seating down the coast was beautiful at sunset.

Excellent food, excellent service. Grazie

Delicioso! We had a wonderful dinner!

We were with a one and a half year old child and it was raining a lot, yet they didn't make much efford to accommodate us in a more appropriate and comfortable place. I ordered the Orecchistte with crema di friarielli and it was tasteless, hard to eat. The Tarallo was hard and dull. It was not a good experience. The price is high, the menu is pretentious, however, the restaurant does not deliver what it promises. Serving customers, even in a restaurant, also means being friendly and helpful, it is part of the experience delivered to those who consume. I do not recommend.

A delicious dinner presented beautifully by caring staff. All in a setting that evokes all the charm and grace one could hope for in a lovely town such as Maratea. The Autumn in Maratea starter was sublime. I highly recommend La Taverna di Zu Cicco.

Amazing, tradicional with a twist food, one of the most interesting restaurants i have experienced in Italy

I never thought i could get dishs like this in Italy. First i got the soup which tasted like water with lentils in it, seriously something you can't eat. Then they told me they can make me something else, ravioli with tomato sauce- and that was really bad too, the cheese in the ravioly was sweet and the tomato sauce tasted just like ketchup. Honestly, i never thought i'd that kind of food in Italy... and they tried to make me pay 18 euro for this. Very disappointed 😞.

We were lucky arrived at 1930 to find every table was booked for the evening. We had until 2100. No problem; great dishes were served one after another. One us placed this restaurant on pole position for our Italian road trip.

A charming little place just off the Main Street of Maratea. The custardy dessert with Sinise Peppers was a particular highlight.

Mixed experience. The ricotta ravioli in tomato sauce was really good – fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. But the melanzane (eggplant with meat and tomato) was cold inside and lacked seasoning. The atmosphere was strange: almost no one there, harsh fluorescent lighting, no music. One staff member was watching loud videos on his phone, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. Overall, the food had potential, but the vibe just felt off.

About 25mins drive from Tortora. Happy to have found this lovely family restaurant. Despite the language barrier the staff were welcoming and friendly. They took their time with us and helped and explained to us about the food. Simple yet delicious tasting dinner. Decent priced. There is something that hits different when you visit places like this. Purely Italian hospitality at its finest.

Our fish was well-prepared & delicious, the house wine was very good. Tezzy was wonderful.....she doesn't speak English & we don't speak Italian, but she worked with us to help us order. A wonderful experience. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Lovely restaurant in Maratea. The food was very tasty and fresh. I had the raviolis with ricotta and then I had fish. The raviolis were super good, freshly homemade pasta with real ricotta cheese, and the fish was as fresh as it can be, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The wine was also great. Would definitely come back! :)

A true family restaurant. Primarily for locals but very welcoming to tourists. Delicious food presented simply. Great flavours. Highly recommended.

Very nice place run by very nice people! The food is delicious and home-made from fresh products.

We shared 9 plates with 5 people and it was the perfect amount. The food was great, we especially liked the aromatic wild fennel pasta.

Sleepy when out of season, this is a tranquil but easily accessed location off the coast road, part of a small hotel. Had sea bass (spigola) tartar and grilled area bass filet, with grilled and sauteed vegetables. Large windows take in partially obscured sea views, and the whole has a dated, rather 70s/80s feel. Friendly cat!

Food was really delicious. But the prizes are very high and you get small portions.

The food was pretty good, but for me it's too expensive, especially when the portions of the meals are so small.

Incredible octopus appetizer and sea urchin pasta! The quality of the ingredients and preparation were fantastic. The views of the ocean at sunset are gorgeous and the terrace is beautiful, with trees and other plants surrounding it. Very romantic restaurant and the staff were very polite and pleasant. It was a bit expensive for Italian prices (especially the wine) but it was well worth it! We would love to come back on our next trip to Italy!

I was staying at hotel for four nights and since there is no more options in Maratea i was eating there everynight and dont regret it! Pasta was homemade, fresh, their signature meal pasta with seafood was the greatest i ever had in italy! Staff was very friendly, setting perfect and views of the gulf just stunning!

The food was descent but the service and attitude is far below the standard.

High quality food but service is unacceptable. We felt unwelcome! Maybe you should not work in service if you don’t like it!

The very first day pizzas were really good. Then we came tomorrow and they literally ripped us off. We had two pastas and mixed grilled fish. All prices were in the end different on the bill than on the menu. I asked if they will serve us fresh fish and they said of course, but then we got salmon?! In the south of Italy??? Swordfish was dry and probably defrost. In the end they charged us 8 euros for the piece of bread that we never asked for. Never again.

Wide space for seats, no need reservation. good service and nice food. Bill was incorrect due.to Price change not modified in the Menu. To review.

Beautiful restaurant with great food (best spaghetti vongole & pizza in the area). worth recommending!

Delicious pasta, caprese salad and homemade desserts!

This is closed and has been for some time

(Translated by Google) Excellent food, attentive and fast service, prices in line with the place, possibility to eat both fish and meat... I didn't have the chance to try the pizza but looking at the nearby tables I think I'll have to go back. (Original) Ottimo cibo, servizio attento e veloce, prezzi in linea con posto, possibilità di mangiare sia pesce che carne...non ho avuto modo di assaggiare la pizza ma a vedere dai tavoli vicini mi sa che ci devo tornare

(Translated by Google) We had fish, beautifully cooked and beautifully plated, and the flavor was exceptional. The management is family-run and makes you feel at home. I'll definitely be back. (Original) Noi abbiamo mangiato del pesce, ben cucinato e ben impiattato, il gusto eccezionale. La gestione è familiare e ti fa sentire a casa. Ci tornerò sicuramente.

Overpriced for not so good food. We ordered the sliced steaks (€25!) and what a waste of money it was. Awful, needless to say overpriced. Tasted like boiled steak left over from lunch, heated slightly in the microwave, covered in some balsamic salad dressing, scattered with some arugula and tomatoes. Don’t waste your time and money.

They appeared to have two servers. So service was slow. Our friends sat with us and though we ordered at the same time (a table if four and the only ones in the restaurant) we had separate checks. Their dinners arrived 20 minutes before ours, so we ended up watching each other eat.

We tried their signature ravioli and gnocchi that were freshly made but the tomato sauce was abundant and rather liquid spoiling the taste of the dishes. Considering the price charged for our meal, in my honest view, this restaurant offers low value for money and would not recommend dining there.

Great service, friendly staff and good food at a good price

Nothing but amazing food! Everything was so delicious

Great pizza n fresh pasta!

Lovely food

Nice location for having good food provided by good service. Excellent views on the coast. Although regular rice and not risotto rice was used for the risotto the taste was good. Reasonable prices.

A must stop if traveling from Sapri or Scalea. The pizza is great, the seafood phenomenal. Highly recommended stop there every chance I get!

I don’t understand how this place only has a 3.8 star average. The food, service and location were exceptional. My wife and I shared a starter and pizza; the portions were more than adequate and the flavours exceptional. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Small seaside restaurant with a really nice view. Unfortunately the pizza wasn't that great. It tasted goodish, but it was floating in olive oil. Also it was poor on ingredients.The bathroom is kind of small but clean. Overall it is a nice place, but don't expect to eat really good!

Good menu and pretty fast service, swordfish was just amazing, tuna overcooked and very dry so better you ask the waiter to have it rare if you like, good spaghetti alle vongole, pizza was good as well, 7 people we spent 190€ for 6 mains one pizza a few side dishes 4 desserts 1 litre of wine 2 pints of beer 2 bottle of water and 4 espresso, I think was pretty good price as well!

Good pizza, good price, some of the staff were great some never cracked a smile...

We had a lovely evening in this nice restaurant. Great food and a fantastic view over the sea.

Lovely restaurant with great service and amazing food.

I ordered a seafood mix and they brought me a ragu that was overpriced 😂😂😂

Way overpriced for the food it serves, and refuses to give a receipt too

Says it's open and it's not, no explanation on the door.

(Translated by Google) We tried this restaurant for a quick dinner after a day at the beach. The atmosphere is very intimate and welcoming, with a picturesque view. The owner, who also served us, is very kind and friendly. There are dishes for all tastes, both meat and fish, and made with local ingredients. We tried a few seafood dishes, all very well cooked and reasonably priced. Overall, a restaurant definitely worth trying! (Original) Abbiamo provato questo ristorante per una cena di passaggio dopo una giornata al mare. Ambiente molto raccolto e accogliente, con una vista suggestiva. Il proprietario, che ci ha anche servito, è molto gentile e cordiale. Ci sono pietanze per tutti i gusti, sia di terra che di mare e con ingredienti del posto. Noi abbiamo provato alcuni piatti di mare, tutti cucinati molto bene e al giusto prezzo. Nel complesso un ristorante da provare senza dubbio!

(Translated by Google) A truly pleasant experience. A warm, welcoming atmosphere, one that makes you feel immediately at home. The food was a constant surprise: tasty, flavorful dishes prepared with great care. The service was impeccable: kindness, smiles, and the right amount of attention without ever being intrusive. The quality-price ratio is absolutely right, especially considering the quality of the dishes and the atmosphere, a balance that is increasingly difficult to find. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience true Lucanian hospitality in a familiar yet refined setting. Thank you, Mirko, for making us feel at home, and thank you, Maria Teresa and Francesco, for the delicious dishes you prepared for us. See you soon! (Original) Esperienza davvero piacevole. Ambiente accogliente, caldo, di quelli che ti fanno sentire subito a casa. A tavola è stata una continua sorpresa: piatti gustosi, ricchi di sapore e preparati con grande attenzione. Il servizio è stato impeccabile: gentilezza, sorrisi e la giusta attenzione senza mai essere invadenti. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è assolutamente corretto, soprattutto considerando la bontà delle portate e l’atmosfera che si respira, un equilibrio che è sempre più difficile trovare. Consigliatissimo a chiunque voglia gustare la vera ospitalità lucana in un ambiente familiare ma raffinato. Grazie Mirko per averci fatto sentire in famiglia e grazie Maria Teresa e Francesco per i piatti gustosissimi che ci avete preparato. A presto!

Prices were great and portions are big. Muscles and clams are unreal. Order the seafood it will not disappoint. Pastas were also very good. 100% worth coming here. Service was a bit slow waiting for the starter but everything after that came very quickly

We had swordfish and a variety of pizza's and tiramisu for desert The serving was excellent and one of the waitresses called Marianna came with nice tips on what to add extra ingredients on the pizzas to make them extra special and unique. The fish was excellent and the tiramisu had a nice spin on it that you really need to check out for yourself. If you want authentic Italian food made with love come to this place. If you think mcdonalds is a nice substitute for food go to the restaurant 50 meters to the left.

We were recommended by our hotel to go here so we tried and got in the second night of our stay. Young waitress that seated us down wasn’t very pleasant for some reason. It took a while before we were even offered any water and then they sat down and served several other tables that came in after us. The food was only average, but the location was beautiful. This was the first restaurant after 4 weeks in Italy I didn’t tip anything.

We were a big group and the service was great: we got seated, ordered, and got the food quickly. The food was delicious, and I particularly liked the panino which is made with pizza dough!

Great choice, tasty food, nice prices ! Really loved the place

Perfect spot and amazing carbonara 👍🏻🤌🏻

Don’t bother service is terrible, forgot 2 of our groups main meals and when they did arrive it wasn’t worth the wait.

We did fall on our feet finding this restaurant. It was just off the main high street. Very friendly, even the chef came to our table to ask how we would like our stakes. Quality of food and service very high. Due to the weakness of the pound the cost was much the same as in England.

We had dinner in the early evening. The food was delicious and beautifully cooked, and the setting over looking the square of The Old Town never ceased to provide entertainment throughout our meal. The only thing that prevented me from giving five stars was the service which was slow, probably due to the large number of guests having dinner at the same time, and therefore understandable. Worth a visit.

Wow! The perfect place to relax and enjoy the food! One can really feel home with its excellent service and everyone's hospitality. Here you'll get to understand the local traditions and singularity both the people and the place. Thanks a lot, hope to come back soon😍👍👏!

Amazing location. Attentive wait staff. Omg the food. So rich and flavorful.

Lovely atmosphere, and the food was really good! I recommend this restaurant in the center of Maratea

Excellent food and good service. A little pricier than others but worth it.

Food is of high quality but over-priced and we also got hit with a service charge for what I am not sure. I'd skip this place unless there are no other options.

Brilliant, cosy place with so delicious dishes. Ravioli was amazing and great white wine. The atmosphere was fantastic and family. The one of the best experience I had in Italy since 2 weeks

Tasty and Value for money. Nice location, very high quality of the fish we ate. We had tuna with pistacchio that I highly recommend, tartare of fresh gamberetti Rossi. Good wine good price. Worth the dinner.

Good foods with a good seating and views.

We had a wonderful meal at this restaurant last night. The food was impeccable and the family all working side by side was a treat to witness.

I love it, it might have lost some of its original allure but I still find it extremely valuable. The position is also unique.

Very high prices for the quality of food. I don’t want to eat this anymore even for free.

Good view, but horrible and overpriced food

Super nice family-managed restaurant, delicious sweets prepared by the mum. Very friendly service.

Old fashion local pizzeria with an authentic look and feel that reminded me of my childhood. Pretty good pizza and welcoming service. Prices on the average, I guess quite good for high season Maratea. They have just a few tables so booking is surely a good idea in high season.

had a great buffalina to go for the beach. super nice staff and great prices for great food. worth a visit.

Clean: pleasant owner. May over charge. Cappuccino price €1.50; bill €1.80 but gave us a discount, leaving herself 50c tip.

We needed somewhere to eat without taking the car so options in this village in May were limited. The service was very friendly but the pizza was just good and the cost was quite high given the type of place

REally good pizza probably best to take away. People are coming in and out all the time. Victime of it sucess

Great pizza, lovely service!

Hostile towards families with children. Rude owner. We were rudely asked to leave after we asked to seat children on our laps.

Best quality/price ratio ever! Nice service and staff is super kind!

Amazing food and service - little paradise

(Translated by Google) We stumbled upon this place by chance during our week-long vacation in Maratea and absolutely loved it! The cured meats and cheeses were excellent, with generous portions and reasonable prices—I'd say excellent value. The spicy lardiata is also a must-try, and for those who love spicy food, the nduja and beans are also a must. The house wine, the Malvasia bianco, is also highly recommended. I loved it; the location is also very quaint, and I would definitely return. (Original) Abbiamo scovato questo posto per puro caso durante la nostra settimana di vacanza a Maratea e ci è piaciuto moltissimo! I salumi e i formaggi erano di ottima qualità, porzioni abbondanti e prezzi giusti, direi con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Da provare assolutamente è anche la lardiata speziata, e per gli amanti del piccante anche nduja e fagioli. Consigliato anche il vino della casa, il Malvasia bianco. Mi è piaciuto molto, anche la location è tanto caratteristica, e ci ritornerei sicuramente.

(Translated by Google) Small place in an alley The products are very good, cheeses and cured meats are very good The fresella was also very tasty. Pleasant atmosphere. The Lucana beer was also very good and fresh, pleasant to eat with the cutting board. (Original) Piccolo locale in un vicoletto Prodotti sono buonissimi, formaggi e salumi buonissimi Anche la fresella era molto gustosa. Ambiente piacevole. Anche la birra Lucana era molto buona e fresca, piacevole da mangiare con il tagliere.

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is located in the alleys of Maratea, overlooking a charming little square, and offers delicious local products. We went there for lunch and ordered a platter of cold cuts and cheeses. The very kind owner told us where and how he sources his products. We had a great time, and if we're ever in the area again, it'll be a must-stop. 🔝 (Original) Il locale si trova nei vicoli di Maratea su una piazzetta carina e offre prodotti locali buonissimi. Noi ci siamo stati a pranzo e abbiamo preso un tagliere con affettati e formaggi. Il proprietario gentilissimo ci raccontava dove e come sceglie i suoi prodotti. Ci siamo trovati benissimo e se dovessimo ripassare da quelle parti sarà una tappa obbligatoria. 🔝

(Translated by Google) I dreamed of a typical sandwich, perhaps with a touch of Lucanian tradition and a friendly smile. Instead, I found a masterpiece of coldness, seasoned with rudeness and stuffed with condescendingness. The owners? A textbook duo: zero empathy, courtesy on sale (sold out), and plenty of rudeness. The sandwich looked like it came from a refrigerator on strike, but at least it was consistent with the atmosphere: cold, hasty, hostile. A place like this should only be visited to test your own zen limits. But if you prefer to eat in peace... follow your instincts and cross the street. (Original) Sognavo un panino tipico, magari con un tocco lucano e un sorriso cordiale. Ho trovato invece un capolavoro di freddezza, condito con maleducazione e farcito con sufficienza. I proprietari? Un duo da manuale: empatia zero, cortesia in saldo (esaurita), maleducazione in abbondanza Il panino sembrava uscito da un frigorifero in sciopero, ma almeno era coerente con l'atmosfera: fredda, sbrigativa, ostile. Un posto così andrebbe visitato solo per testare i propri limiti zen. Ma se preferite mangiare con serenità… seguite l’istinto e cambiate marciapiede.

(Translated by Google) Well-kept place with a beautiful illuminated swimming pool as a backdrop, prepared service, but the cuisine is not up to par. The Chef offered us an appetizer.... Battered shrimp (salad served with cold fried shrimp). The Risotto with flatbread and radicchio was not bad, even if the portion was rather small, the Paccheri alla pescatrice was also small, while the portion of scialatielli with scampi was fair. Given the prices and the size of the portions, our dinner ended here, also because we come to eat, not to admire the swimming pool The kitchen can and must be improved (Original) Locale curato con bella piscina illuminata come sfondo, servizio preparato, ma cucina non all'altezza. Lo Chef ci ha offerto un antipasto....Gambero pastellato (insalatina scondita con gamberetto fritto freddo). Il Risotto di schiacciata e radicchio non era male, anche se la porzione era aime' scarsa, i Paccheri alla pescatrice era scarsi anche loro, mentre la porzione di scialatielli con scampi era giusta. Visto i prezzi e le quantità delle porzioni la nostra cena è finita qui', anche perché si viene per mangiare, non per ammirare la piscina La cucina può e deve essere migliorata

We have been eating at this place several times, the Pasta is excellent, the Pizza alright, the Location has a great view and the staff is very welcoming and attentive. Many locals coming here for fish-dishes and mussels, let‘s do as the Italians do.

Nice place, good service but we had to wait a lot.for the food. Fresh food as we asked for the daily fish. It's Ok.

Family owned and operated. Fish is super fresh. conveniently located next to the park, so my kids can play. Definitely recommend.

This place was very quiet and comfortable and also clean! We had a great experience eating here 2 days in a row. The owner was very pleasant and friendly even though we barely understood each other's language! The food was exquisite, especially the sea bass! Mostly everything we ordered on the menu was delicious!

Had two really great meals here. Staff very friendly, food delicious and plentiful. Beautiful garden view. Excellent overall!

We were staying down the road at Hotel Murmann for 3 nights but only discovered this restaurant on the last night otherwise we would have been back again. It's a lovely spot with an outdoor terrace and a good range of the usual pizza and pasta dishes at a reasonable price with extremely friendly service and decent draught beer. By far the best around.

Tasty food and a great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I visited this restaurant a few times during my stay in Acquafreda, I really loved this place - food is really high quality, we tasted nearly whole menu with my friends group of 6. Really recommend this place for cozy dinner. Reasonable prices, nice wines.

This restaurant made our vacation. Everything was so perfect we came back 3 times in 5 days. Food, service, atmosphere is just amazing, we will definitely come back to experience it again. Also, we just fell in love with our waiter, his attention to the details, professionalism and charm brought our experience to another level. a huge thank from us!

Fantastic! We were two families! We came late and they were closed but when they saw the kids, they let us in and served us amazing food! Had really great time with Enzo and had great authentic food! The risotto is fantastic. Everything else was great too! Highly recommended!

Just one question: what kind of pasta do you use? I've never had anything so tasteless and inconsistent. A terrible experience, saved only by the smile of the girl serving. Even the desserts lacked the only one I would have liked. We were speechless, but also full of smoke, since customers are allowed to smoke at the tables.

Excellent service and a lot of different food options. Not just pizza. They also have their own free parking.

Great italian vibes and very friendly staff, amazing time

OK. Having had pizza in multiple provinces in Italy, south and north, this experience was truly one of the best. Definitely Napolitan pizza, not the flat, more crusty, like the ones ine might expect in Puglia. As for service, no English, only Italian. Somehow that just makes wonders. Simple communication, a word here and there that both understand. No problems. Wonderful.

Great home made food such as frittata and parmigiana as well as pizza al taglio. Not necessarily local, slightly price for rosticceria but delicious!

(Translated by Google) I had been there years ago and everything was good. But last night a disappointment: the pizza was also passable but the fried food was pitiful. The croquette took a liter of water to swallow because it was so mushy. The arancino is also very heavy and dry. They have comfortable tables outside where you can eat. Obviously I don't recommend it and I wouldn't go back. Prices in my opinion a little high for the quality (Original) Ci ero stata anni fa ed era tutto buono. Ma ieri sera una delusione: pizza pure pure passabile ma i fritti pietosi. La crocchetta x mandarla giù ci voleva un litro d’acqua x quanto era pastosa. L’arancino pure molto pesante e secco. Hanno dei tavoli comodi all’esterno dove poter mangiare. Ovviamente non c’è lo consiglio e non ci tornerei. Prezzi a mio avviso un po’ altini per la qualità

(Translated by Google) Our favorite pizzeria in Maratea. Pizza leavened for up to 72 hours, incredibly light and high-quality thanks to excellent, carefully selected ingredients! The fried foods are varied and all delicious. Yesterday I tried the Gustosa Lucana beer, both the Chiara and the IPA...delicious! See you again before we leave! (Original) La nostra pizzeria preferita in paese a Maratea. Pizza lievitata fino a 72 ore, leggerissima e con tanta qualità grazie ad ingredienti ottimi e ben calibrati! I fritti sono diversi e tutti buoni. Ieri ho provato la birra Gustosa Lucana, sia la Chiara che la ipa…buonissime! Ci rivediamo prima di partire!

(Translated by Google) Are you hungry and are you a tourist? Avoid coming here. Poor food quality, sky high prices e.g Endless waiting times. Raw condiments and frozen arancini. I do not recommend (Original) Hai fame e sei un turista? Evita di venire qui. Qualità del cibo scarsa, prezzi alle stelle e Tempi di attesa interminabili. Condimenti crudi e arancini congelati. Sconsiglio

(Translated by Google) Authentic experience and genuine flavors! During my stay in Maratea, I discovered Rosticceria Liberatore and was pleasantly surprised. The place is simple yet welcoming, centrally located, perfect for a tasty break. I tried the pizza by the slice and the stuffed zucchini flowers: both delicious, with a light, well-cooked crust. The eggplant parmigiana also deserves a special mention—rich, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are more than fair considering the quality and location. An excellent choice for those looking for a quick but satisfying meal, away from the usual tourist restaurants. Highly recommended for an authentic taste of local cuisine!!! (Original) Esperienza autentica e sapori genuini! Durante il mio soggiorno a Maratea, ho scoperto la Rosticceria Liberatore e ne sono rimasto piacevolmente colpito. Il locale è semplice ma accogliente, situato in una posizione centrale perfetta per una pausa gustosa. Ho assaggiato la pizza al taglio e i fiori di zucca ripieni: entrambi deliziosi, con un impasto leggero e ben cotto. Anche la parmigiana di melanzane merita una menzione speciale—ricca, saporita e preparata con ingredienti freschi. Il personale è gentile e disponibile, e i prezzi sono più che onesti considerando la qualità e la posizione. Un’ottima scelta per chi cerca un pasto veloce ma soddisfacente, lontano dai soliti ristoranti turistici. Consigliatissimo per un assaggio autentico della cucina locale!!!

(Translated by Google) Poor quality food!!! The sales assistant was hysterical. When I pointed out that I hadn't received the cake we'd ordered—the one I was counting on, since the rest was terrible—she sent me packing... Go somewhere else in Maratea, there are so many excellent places with decent people. (Original) Cibo di bassa qualità!!! addetta alle vendite isterica, quando le ho fatto notare che non avevo ricevuto un tortino che avevamo ordinato, quello su cui contavo visto che il resto era terribile, mi ha mandato affanc ... andate altrove a Maratea ci sono tanti posti ottimi con gente perbene.

(Translated by Google) I was there a few days ago for the courgette flowers that my friend Prof. Pasquale offered me. It appeared: generous portion, delicious that cheese that "burst" from the sleeve... Today I returned and faithful to that flower I took a portion of pizza with abundant courgette flowers. EXCELLENT... The prices? normal and not high. The staff? Friendly, fast and professional. ... ADVISED (Original) Ci sono stata giorni fa per i fiori di zucca che l'amico prof. Pasquale mi offriva. Apperò: abbondante porzione, delizioso quel formaggio che "scoppiava" dal manicotto... Oggi sono tornata e fedele a quel fiore ho preso una porzione di pizza con abbondanti fiori di zucca. OTTIMO... I prezzi? nella norma e non alti. Il personale? Gentile veloce e professionale. ... CONSIGLIATO

Although we reserved with days in advance we were asked to wait for more than 20 minutes until they cleared the table. The service was lacking, the waitress and owner rude making unfortunate expressions and remarks and therefore caused the experience to be less than agreeable. The food overpriced for what is offered and made us wait for over than an hour.

Quite a large menu of substantial snacks. Went for piadina, loads of rocket, tasty prosciutto ham, sqidgy cheese. Loo is clean & well appointed, and there is shade ! Prices reasonable for a touristy port.

Scic

Okay!!!

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is pleasant and the restaurant enjoys a charming location, right on the port of Maratea. It's important to know that online reservations are required: without them, you can't sit at a table or order takeout, which can be inconvenient. As for the food, the experience was overall decent, but not particularly memorable: the meat served is frozen (as stated on the menu). Considering the overall offering, I would probably choose another option in the future. (Original) L’ambiente è piacevole e il locale gode di una posizione suggestiva, situato direttamente nel porto di Maratea. È importante sapere che è obbligatoria la prenotazione online: senza di essa non è possibile né sedersi ai tavoli né ordinare per asporto, il che può risultare poco pratico. Per quanto riguarda il cibo, l’esperienza è stata nel complesso discreta, ma non particolarmente memorabile: la carne servita é surgelata (come scritto da menú). Considerando l’offerta complessiva, probabilmente sceglierei un’altra opzione in futuro

(Translated by Google) Hi friends, yesterday I was in Maratea at @ilclubbino_marateaporto where I enjoyed a nice sandwich, the Panarea with octopus, wilted tomatoes and grilled aubergines, really very good! (Original) Ciao amici ieri sono stato a Maratea al @ilclubbino_marateaporto dove mi sono gustato un bel panino, il Panarea con polpo, pomodori appassiti e melanzane grigliate, veramente molto buono!

(Translated by Google) Great place for a quick and tasty lunch/dinner. We arrived without having booked for lunch and we ordered 3 sandwiches (with some cooked food inside) and a piadina. They arrived immediately and were excellent, 8 euros for a good product that is worth it. (Original) Posto ottimo per un pranzo/cena veloce e sfizioso. Siamo arrivati senza aver prenotato a pranzo e abbiamo ordinato 3 panini (con del cucinato dentro) e una piadina. Sono arrivati subito ed erano ottimi, 8 euro per un buon prodotto che li vale tutti.

Villa Cheta is truly a magical place. Set in a peaceful area far from tourist crowds, it offers breathtaking views and an unbeatable location between the mountains and the sea. The service is impeccable, with a wonderfully kind and attentive staff always ready to help. Stefania, Piero, Angela, and the entire team make you feel completely at home from the moment you arrive. The rooms, the pool, and the scenery are simply stunning — an oasis of tranquility just a short drive from Maratea village and beautiful beaches. The restaurant is a highlight in itself, from breakfast to dinner, featuring a changing seasonal menu crafted with the finest local ingredients. I cannot recommend a stay at this charming boutique hotel enough!

A wonderful hotel where we spent six nights. The setting is beautiful and the service very friendly. The staff is super helpful. We ate dinner at the restaurant on several occasions and it was delightful. We really appreciated the kindness and generosity they showed to our dog who was traveling with us.

Wonderful hotel with excellent service and exceptionally friendly staff. The setting is beautiful and incredibly romantic. We will definitely be back!

The hotel has panoramic views of the sea. The attention of the workers is excellent. The rooms are so nice, the beds so comfortables. And the food, well the food just make you feel exactly where you are, in Italy! I recommend this hotel without any doubt!

Wonderful experience. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The room was spotless and offered a sea view. The swimming pool was excellent. Nearby attractions include a small grocery store (da Ginetto) for marenna to go and a lovely beach (about a 10-minute walk, easily accessible). The dinners were reasonably priced for a hotel restaurant. If you’re open to driving to Maratea, you can find even more affordable options with a wider variety of food. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I would definitely consider returning.

Absolutely relaxing place. A big house, very nicely decorated and in spotless conditions. The pool looked very nice and clean but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to enjoy it. The staff is adorable. We left the keys of the car inside of it and they very helpful and servicial. Highly recommended

Amazing exceptional hotel. Everything is perfect, the location, the property, the service, the gardens, the restaurant, the decoration style. One of the best hotel we experience in many years if travel. Perfecttt

Good, but expensive

(Translated by Google) Traditional cuisine with high quality raw materials. Dishes not to be missed: linguine with scampi (also lobster upon reservation and if you're lucky the cicada, a local lobster). Soaked anchovies, gratinated mussels, raw local fish. Adequate choice of wines. Average price. (Original) Cucina della tradizione con elevata qualità della materia prima. Piatti da non mancare: linguine agli scampi (su prenotazione anche astice e se si è fortunati la cicala, un'aragostacea locale). Alici ammollicate, cozze gratinate, crudi di pescato locale. Scelta dei vini adeguata. Prezzo nella media.

(Translated by Google) Excellent fish, there are also pizzas, all with excellent service (Original) Ottimo pesce ci sono anche le pizze il tutto con un servizio eccellente

(Translated by Google) Excellent cuisine Good value for money Too bad the location on the road Advised (Original) Ottima cucina Buon rapporto qualita' prezzo Peccato la location on the road Consigliato

(Translated by Google) We had two fried fish and the quality of the food is excellent, you can immediately tell that the fish was recently caught. The prices are a little high, but still in line with the prices of the area. The only flaw was the wait, we had asked to have dinner not breakfast the next day (Original) Abbiamo preso due fritture e la qualità del cibo è ottima, si avverte subito che il pesce è stato pescato da poco. I prezzi sono un pò alti, ma comunque conformi ai prezzi della zona. Unica pecca l'attesa, avevamo chiesto di cenare non di fare colazione il giorno dopo

(Translated by Google) Small, expensive and poor quality dishes. Terrible service and rude waiters, who (insistently) suggest how much tip they deserve, in their opinion. From the small and expensive menu, most of the dishes are missing. 2 microscopic appetizers, 5 spaghetti with seafood, a plate of gnocchi and two bottles of water, 120 euros. Run away. Far away. (Original) Portate piccole, costose e scadenti. Pessimo servizio e camerieri maleducati, che propongono (insistentemente) quanta mancia meriterebbero, secondo loro. Dal menu esiguo ed esoso, manca la maggior parte dei piatti. 2 antipasti microscopici, 5 spaghetti ai frutti di mare, un piatto di gnocchi e due bottiglie d'acqua, 120 euro. Scappate. Lontano lontano.

(Translated by Google) Quiet and informal place. We were lucky enough to go at a quiet time so we didn't have to wait long for the dishes, but the staff seemed to be poor. The dishes are good but not very abundant (we took starters and fish first course). Prices normal. (Original) Luogo tranquillo e informale. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di andare in un orario tranquillo quindi non abbiamo atteso molto i piatti, il personale, però, sembra essere scarso. I piatti sono buoni ma non molto abbondanti (abbiamo preso antipasti e primo di pesce). Prezzi nella norma.

Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel didn’t quite meet our expectations. While the property has potential, there were several aspects that made our experience less enjoyable than we had hoped. First, it’s important to note the hotel is quite remote setting means there’s nothing within walking distance. The views were average and not quite what we had anticipated. Here are some of the challenges we encountered: 1. There was no air conditioning or fans available before June 15th, which left the room quite warm and uncomfortable during hotter days. 2. The windows don’t have screens, so opening them to cool off lets in bugs, flies, and even the occasional lizard. 3. The pool has limited hours, and guests are required to purchase a swim cap to use it. 4. The spa costs around €20 for just 30 minutes, which felt steep—especially given that it wasn’t clearly communicated as an extra charge. 5. Breakfast was minimal; we only managed to eat a single croissant. 6. The bed was very firm, to the point of feeling quite uncomfortable. 7. Towels were very thin and not what you’d expect from a hotel at this price point. On the positive side, the rooms were spotless, and the staff were genuinely kind and tried their best to be helpful throughout our stay. Their warm hospitality was definitely appreciated. With a few improvements, this property could offer a much better guest experience.

This hotel is really not worth the price. Our room was in a small two-floor building with 4 rooms. It had a connecting door to the room upstairs and we heard everything - TV, talking, toilet, etc. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever had in a hotel. And the only ventilation for the bathroom was a window onto the room itself. The pool is nice but you need to buy a swimming cap. The place looks nice at first but it’s missing the fundamentals for a hotel of this price!

Hotel was okay but not near the main town of Maratea (30min drive from Maratea). Breakfast was included but not very appetising and the scrambled eggs were cold. Rooms were okay but bed was rock hard. Swimming pool looks nice but you need to pay for a swimming cap to go in. You also have to pay 15-20euro to use the spa for 30min which seems a bit outrageous. Overall just an okay place to stay at for one night while passing through to somewhere else. Would not recommend staying longer.

Everything in the hotel was excellent, starting from the sparkling clean rooms, and going through the beautiful gardens, the delicious food and the friendly and helpful staff. I am definitely willing to come back here again. A well deserved 5 stars review! Keep it up!

Positive surprise, we just neede a place to stay for 1 night while driving down to Calabria, but we fell in love with this hotel. Service minded and friendly staff, and the food in the restaurant was amazing, nice colors and good taste, value for money. We will come back and use more of the hotel facilities and use it as a base for praia a mare and the caves in the area.

I have mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel so I shall split up my points into good and bad to let you decide for yourself. Good: -The staff were incredibly friendly and happy to help with all of our enquiries -The setting of the hotel was beautiful and just a ten-minute walk from the closest beach -The room had excellent air conditioning which meant for an excellent night’s sleep -The pool was large and there were many sun loungers -There were no other British tourists staying at the hotel (to the best of my knowledge) so you felt truly immersed in Italian culture -The cleaning service was excellent, and we came back every day to fresh towels, bedding, shampoos etc… -It was close to a supermarket which was helpful and cheap Bad: -Swimming caps had to be worn if you wanted to go into the pool (inconvenient at first but we adjusted) -Food at the bar was expensive in comparison to the rest of Maratea -The breakfast was (whilst very nice) filled with fat and carbohydrates. You would struggle to be full unless you were willing to eat biscuits, honeycomb, sweetened yoghurt and the occasional fig. -The opening times of the pool and bar were very peculiar and meant we would often come home from a day out unable to get food. -The fitness centre was cramped and almost unusable There you have it, a reasonably good, well-priced hotel with some drawbacks that didn’t significantly take away from the whole Maratea experience.

Overall a good place to stay with friendly staff. The rooms are nice but the AC is very loud to the point where you can't sleep at night if it's on. Breakfast is also ok but not great. The pool is very nice.

Great place to have dinner seaside. We had Tuna and Paccheri. Great staff and good desserts

(Translated by Google) In my opinion, the lido is one of the best in the area, both because it offers convenient free parking and because the beach is always breezy, making it pleasant even on the hottest days. Furthermore, the beach slopes uphill, so you can see the sea even from the back rows. Not to mention the beautiful sunsets you can enjoy at the end of the day. Then there's the bar-restaurant, located inside a beautiful wooden structure, also very breezy, where you can also play cards or chat at the tables. The bar serves excellent arancini and zucchini flowers, and the restaurant offers a good selection of seafood dishes, including grilled fish and mixed fried fish. We've been coming here for many years and definitely won't change! (Original) Il lido è a mio parere uno dei migliori della zona sia perché servito da un comodo parcheggio gratuito sia perché la spiaggia è sempre ventilata e si sta bene anche nelle giornate più calde. Inoltre la spiaggia è in salita per cui si vede il mare anche dalle ultime file. Per non parlare dei bellissimi tramonti che si possono godere a fine giornata. C’è poi il bar ristorante che è situato all’interno di una bella struttura in legno, anche questa molto ventilata, dove è possibile anche giocare a carte o fare due chiacchiere ai tavoli. Al bar ci sono ottimi arancini e fiori di zucca e al ristorante una buona selezione di piatti di mare, tra cui pesce alla griglia e fritto misto. Veniamo qui da tanti anni e sicuramente non cambieremo!

(Translated by Google) Enchanting location on the splendid beach of Castrocucco di Maratea, the restaurant is located inside the lido and has a large covered wooden area of ​​fine workmanship and well furnished. We tasted the starter and main course, super fresh fish prepared with passion and experience by chef Marco, highlighting the Tropeana style tuna and the fried fish. The price is right for the quality. (Original) Incantevole location sulla splendida spiaggia di Castrocucco di Maratea, il ristorante si trova all'interno del lido ed ha una ampia zona coperta in legno di pregevole fattura e ben arredata. Abbiamo degustato antipasto e secondo, pesce super fresco e preparato con passione ed esperienza dallo chef Marco, da sottolineare il tonno alla tropeana e la frittura. Il costo è giusto per la qualità.

(Translated by Google) We were actually just looking for a nice beach to enjoy the sea. We found what we thought was a gem. A very, very beautiful beach and a very, very nice beach restaurant with top service and very good food. The service and friendliness were also extremely positive. We were always served in a friendly and courteous manner, even when they noticed that we don't particularly speak Italian. I would also like to mention that there are freshwater showers and toilets on the beach, which are cleaned regularly. The beach and the water are clean and crystal clear, and the area around the beach restaurant is also regularly cleaned of the fine sand. The view from the beach restaurant is impressive, especially at sunset. You can even have dinner right on the beach, right by the sea. They really make an effort here. (Original) Eigentlich waren wir nur auf der Suchen nach einem schönen Strand um das Meer zu genießen. Wir fanden unserer Meinung nach eine Perle. Sehr sehr schöner Strand, eine sehr sehr schönes Strandlokal mit Top Service und sehr gutem Essen. Auch der Service und die Freundlichkeit waren außerordentlich positiv. Wir wurden immer freundlich und zuvorkommend bedient, auch als sie merkten das wir der italienischen Sprache nicht unbedingt mächtig sind. Ebenfalls möchte ich positiv erwähnen das am Strand eine Süßwasserdusche sowie Toiletten vorhanden sind, welche regelmäßig gereinigt werden. Der Strand, das Wasser sind sauber und Glasklar, auch der Bereich des Strandlokals wir regelmäßig von dem feinen Sand gereinigt. Die Aussicht vom Strandlokal ist beeindruckend vor allem bei Sonnenuntergang. Es besteht sogar die Möglichkeit das Dinner direkt am Strand in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Meer zu sich zu nehmen. Hier gibt man sich wirklich Mühe.

(Translated by Google) The beach is really beautiful but for 20 euros there are many services missing such as the possibility of a cold water shower which is paid for but moreover I know all the showers at 20 cents don't work you have to constantly go to the cashier because they get blocked. The right side is functional while the left side is all broken. A mini fountain would also be appreciated but they are all closed/not working so at the end of the evening you don't know where to rinse your feet as the beach is made of fine sand and the parking area is full of dust. The covid rules are not respected, zero masks behind the bar counter have no masks. Except for a few waiters. It's a shame these little things say a lot about the attention to hygiene standards. The sunbeds are not sanitized so you will find those used by hundreds of other people before. At most bring some alcohol to disinfect :) Ps: The beach, being in a beautiful area between the sea and the hills, is full of wasps in that area. Tip: be careful when you have lunch with your sandwich on the sunbed!!! For the rest it is still a quiet beach. The landing place two further on I saw that it also offers a free cold shower. I don't know the prices but I think they are all identical. Suitable for families and small children. The sea is blue. Unfortunately you can't see the sunset because it falls behind the mountain. The lido offers bars and restaurants plus various services with canoes, floating sunbeds, pedal boats. (Original) La spiaggia è veramente bella ma per 20 euro mancano parecchi servizi come la possibilità di doccia con acqua fredda che invece è a pagamento ma oltretutto so o tutte non funzionanti le docce a 20 centesimi devi continuamente andare alla cassa perche si bloccano. Il lato destro sono funzionanti mentre al lato sinistro sono tutte guaste. Sarebbe gradita anche una mini fontanella vhe invece sono tutte chiuse/non funzionanti pertanto a fine serata non sai dove sciacquarti i piedi essendo la spiaggia di sabbia sottile e l zona parcheggio piena di polvere. Le norme covid non vengono rispettate, zero mascherine dietro al bancone del bar non hanno le mascherine. Tranne qualche camerire. Peccato queste piccole cose dicono tanto della attenzione alle norme igieniche. I lettini non sono sanificati quindi troverete quelli utilizzati da altre centinaia di persone prima. Al massimo portatevi un po di alcool per disinfettare :) Ps: La spiaggia essendo in una bellissima zona tra mare e collina in quella zona è piena di vespe suggerimento: state attenti quando pranzate con il panino sul lettino!!! Per il resto è comunque una spiaggia tranquilla l approdo due piu avanti ho visto che offre anche la doccia fredda free non so i prezzi ma credo che siano tutti identici. Adatto alle famiglie e ai bambini piccoli. Il mare è azzurro. Non si vede il tramonto purtroppo perche cala dietro alla montagna. Il lido offre bar e ristorazione piu diversi servizi con canoe,lettini galleggianti, pedaló.

(Translated by Google) I went to this restaurant for a baptism. The location was beautiful, the staff were friendly and professional, and above all, the food was excellent. (Original) Sono stato in questo ristorante in occasione di un battesimo. Location molto bella, personale gentile e professionale ma soprattutto ottimo cibo.

(Translated by Google) Nothing exceptional, I expected something more. I recommend adjusting the menu you have online to the actual prices because we came there because we read that they ranged from 13/14 euros instead we were surprised when we sat down that the prices were from 20 euros and up..... We also had baked potatoes for our daughter but it was anything but, they were boiled and when we pointed it out to them they said that's how they make them. The rest of the service and other things were modest. I wouldn't go back. (Original) Niente di eccezionale, mi aspettavo qualcosa di più..... Consiglio di adeguare il menù che avete su Internet mettendo i prezzi che avete realmente perché noi siamo venuti li perché leggendo che andavano dai 13/14 euro invece abbiamo trovato la sorpresa quando ci siamo seduti che stavamo dai 20 euro in su..... Inoltre abbiamo preso patate al forno x nostra figlia ma era tutt'altro erano bollite e quando glielo abbiamo fatto notare hanno detto che loro le fanno così. Il resto servizio e altro modesto. Non ci tornerei.

I usually don't give such negative judgments because I respect the work of others and I also understand the difficulties that can occasionally happen. But when, in the face of obvious disorganization, you don't even have the decency to apologize, then I become intransigent. We ordered at 2.45pm well after the lunchtime rush had finished and it was only 3 panini’s , after several reminders they were bought to us about 55 minutes later not even an apology . When you pay a cover and service charge you expect a better service than this . A piece of advice for the person manning the till, smile and show some courtesy.

I always do my best not to miss the chance to enjoy a dinner here: welcoming careful staff, professional service, mainly a fish dinner menu, the excellence in local traditional tastes, soft music allowing relaxed conversation, cozy setting... five star experience!

Maybe because I was a tourist, but all they were interested in was how to squeeze as much as possible out of me, it left a bad taste in my mouth. Not warm welcoming or friendly. Plus incredibly expensive. Dont recommend and wouldn’t return.

Amazing mussels, wonderful view and stuff, great location. Definitely need to come back❣️

Ok

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beachfront resort. A quiet spot, perfect for families, with crystal-clear waters and ideal rocks. The beach is made up of small, distinctive dark pebbles. There's a bar/restaurant, clean restrooms, and paid hot or cold showers. SUP and pedalo foil rentals are available. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended! (Original) Bellissimo lido in riva al mare. Posto tranquillo, adatto per famiglie, mare cristallino e contornato di scogli ideali. La spiaggia è formata di piccoli sassolini scuri molto caratteristici. Bar ristorante, sevizi igienici puliti e possibilità di fare doccia fredda o calda a pagamento. Possibilità di noleggio SUP Pedalò Foil. Personale gentile e disponibile. Consigliatissimo 🤩

Very good food, attentive service without being intrusive at a terrific location overlooking the harbour. The gnocchi in lime sauce was pure magic!

Beautiful place to have a meal or drink! Fantastic top notch service from the team with good menu and delicious food!

A beautiful location looking over the Marina. The food and service were spectacular. I really enjoyed the Seafood antipasto, which included the freshest and most delicious seafood. The staff were extremely friendly and warm. 10/10

Santi has fantastic food-from an incredible appetizer: tres bun to primi: tunno takai, just bites of bliss. The apertivo’s were well made & espresso was excellent. 😊

Amazing place, absolutely delicious food and cocktails

Excellent food and service. We had pasta with clams and taglioni with prawns, recommend both very well done.

The most calm and soul breathing with a beautiful atmosphere specially the food was a wonder Wich is I was looking for

Bellisimo

(Translated by Google) We just had dinner, what can I say, a fabulous place both for the friendliness and for the professionalism. I had the pizza "Margherita regina bufalina" excellent cooking, equally ingredients, my boyfriend, instead, had the fried fish, fresh fish and very tasty. What can I say, if there will be a next holiday here in Maratea we will definitely return! Ps: the prices are very accessible and fairly balanced with the quality of the product. (Original) Siamo appena stati a cena, che dire posto favoloso sia per la cordialità sia per la professionalità. Io ho preso la pizza “Margherita regina bufalina” cottura ottima, ingredienti altrettanto, il mio ragazzo, invece, ha preso la frittura di pesce, pesce fresco e molto saporito. Che dire, se ci sarà una prossima vacanza qui a Maratea ci ritorneremo sicuramente! Ps: i prezzi sono molto accessibili e bilanciati in modo equo con la qualità del prodotto.

(Translated by Google) An elegant seafood restaurant and pizzeria with a wood-fired oven. I tried it in late July, on a Tuesday, when it was sparsely crowded and nice and cool (the terrace is large and breezy). I ordered pizza, so my review is limited to that: excellent! Well-cooked and fragrant, thin crust with a thick crust. Excellent service. (Original) Elegante ristorante di pesce e pizzeria con forno a legna. L'ho provato a fine luglio, un martedì, con poca gente ed un bel fresco (la terrazza è ampia e ventilata). Ho preso una pizza e quindi la mia valutazione si limita a questo ambito: ottima! Ben cotta e fragrante, sottile con bordo spesso. Ottimo servizio.

(Translated by Google) We had lunch on a group in groups of about 30 people; maximum availability of the owners and all the staff. We had lunch well, both for quantities and quality, at an excellent cost. Definitely to return. (Original) Abbiamo pranzato una domenica in gruppo di circa 30 persone; massima disponibilità dei proprietari e di tutto il personale. Abbiamo pranzato bene, sia per quantità che per qualità, ad un costo ottimo. Da ritornare sicuramente.

(Translated by Google) The owner sat us down, advising us on the chef's specialties, which unfortunately did not live up to expectations. Pasta fagioli e cozze in brodo, spaghetti con le vongole cooked with the clams on the side (so they were spaghetti in bianco) and the same for spaghetti con l'astice and con i gamberi. We basically ate pasta in bianco and with sauce without fish seasoning. The risotto was a good thing, but still little care was taken in making an impact because when I tasted it I found myself with more than one clam shell (empty) in my mouth hidden under the rice. Let's not even talk about the pizzas, which were terrible just for their appearance (we didn't dare to take them since we are from Naples). (Original) Il proprietario ci ha fatto accomodare consigliandoci sulle specialità dello chef che purtroppo non si sono rilevate all altezza. Pasta fagioli e cozze brodosa, spaghetti con le vongole cucinati con le vongole a parte (erano quindi spaghetti in bianco) e idem per spaghetti con l'astice e con i gamberi. Praticamente abbiamo mangiato pasta in bianco e al sugo senza condimento di pesce. Si salvava il risotto ma comunque poca cura nell' impattare perché nell'assaporarlo mi sono ritrovata più di un guscio di vongola (vuoto) in bocca nascosto sotto al riso. Non parliamo poi delle pizze che solo per l'aspetto (non abbiamo osato prenderle essendo noi di Napoli) erano tremende.

(Translated by Google) I booked here thinking of spending a nice Sunday with my family. I had booked on thefork and the reservation had been accepted. However, after the long journey there was a bitter surprise: the restaurant was closed and the telephone was obviously off the hook. A few hours later I managed to speak to some of the managers and discovered that the restaurant would open in a few months. Too bad I didn't know this at the time of booking. (Original) Ho prenotato qui pensando di passare una bella domenica in famiglia. Avevo prenotato su thefork e la prenotazione era stata accettata. Tuttavia dopo il lungo viaggio l'amara sorpresa, il ristorante era chiuso ed il telefono naturalmente staccato. Qualche ora dopo sono riuscito a parlare con qualche responsabile ed ho scoperto che il ristorante avrebbe aperto tra qualche mese. Peccato non averlo saputo a tempo della prenotazione.

(Translated by Google) The place is out of the ordinary but judged positively, beautiful, distant, courtesy and professionalism to sell. The pizza chef is a real phenomenon and just to try. Enjoy your meal everyone (Original) Il posto é fuori dal comune ma giudicato positivamente, bello distanzioso, cortesia e professionalità da vendere. Il pizzaiolo un vero fenomeno e solo da provare. Buon appetito a tutti

6:00pm...and it's closed. Might be a nice bar. I wouldn't know. Because it's not open. The times listed says I should be sitting in there and having a drink. But I'm not. Because it's closed! I rely on opening times when I'm deciding where to go, where to stay. If the times aren't accurate then it kinda messes things up. Whoever owns this place, correct the times.

In the centre of Mareata in the small town square there are various options for a bite to eat or drink. We chose the worst option. Not only was it far too expensive for what they offer but in an area where they make their own bread and cheese. It was truly average at best. They served us a €6 salad that was tiny and tasteless. They didn't even have any oil and fresh pepper but served them in sachets! For the money that they charged....that's really unforgiveable. To make matters even worse we were charged for just sitting in the restaurant and even though we numbered 10 and ate food and drink, they did not announce the charge until the bill came €2 per person. The steaks and burgers weren't too bad but overall stay well away if you value taste and value.

Maratea can be a very tired place, full of restaurants and bar not really keen to welcome their guests, so it was a nice surprise to walk into this Burger place and met with welcoming smiles from the owners and the young staff; our meals were good, fresh and tasty, served al fresco in the main square. Other experiences in Maratea have not been so good and we met this place too late in our short break. We will return and we warmly recommend it if you want a safe option for dinner. Thank you

The best burger... the Angus beef patty was flame grilled perfect, I could taste the flame and still juicy. This burger matches, and surpasses some, any good burgers I have had in Australia. I didn’t expect to find this place in Maratea but I’m glad it’s here, a nice break from pizzas and very welcome after hiking up to the Christ Redeemer statue. Highly recommend.

Right in the centre of the centro storico it's a good place for a burger/steak. Really good service and location

The food, the Music All were great

good beer and great music!

Great service, tasty food! Awesome view!

Good traditional food (cucina tipica). And one of a few places open during siesta (it's so strange when You can't find open restaurant at touristic area because staff is too lazy to make busines).

best pizza I had in Italy this trip

(Translated by Google) This place is located on the main road that connects Acquafredda to Maratea at the traffic lights in front of a pink house, on the right side (coming from Acquafredda. Left coming from Maratea). Below there are trains passing by. It overlooks the panoramic view of the beaches of Acquafredda, the play of the rocks overlooking the sea and you can also see a glimpse of the Gulf of Policastro and you can see it very well from inside, looking out of the windows overlooking the view. The place is family run and the owner is friendly. I was there in September and ordered the linguine with seafood and the roasted prawns. I have to say that the linguine was cooked very well! The menu is based on fish, but you can also choose meat or pizza. Prices are modest. Could improve on aesthetics. (Original) Questo locale si trova sulla strada principale che unisce Acquafredda a Maratea al semaforo di fronte una casa rosa, sul lato destro (venendo da Acquafredda. Sinistro venendo da Maratea). Al di sotto ci sono i treni che passano. Affaccia sulla vista panoramica delle spiagge di Acquafredda, sul gioco delle rocce a picco sul mare e si vede anche uno scocrcio del Golfo di Policastro e si può vedere molto bene da dentro, affacciandosi a delle finestre che danno sulla vista. Il locale è gestito a conduzione familiare e il proprietario è gentile. Ci sono stata nel mese di settembre e ho ordinato le linguine allo scoglio e i gamberoni arrostiti. Devo dire che le linguine erano cucinate molto bene! Il menù è a base di pesce, ma si può anche scegliere la carne o la pizza. I prezzi sono modici. Potrebbe migliorare nell'estetica.

(Translated by Google) Really nice place, the room is large and the staff are always helpful and friendly. The food is very good! We had both first and second courses and they were delicious. The fact that there is a car park right in front of the restaurant is not to be taken for granted. Recommended if you are in the area. Pets allowed (Original) Posto veramente bello, il locale è ampio e il personale sempre disponibile e cordiale. Il cibo è molto buono! Abbiamo preso sia dei primi che dei secondi e erano squisiti. Non scontato il fatto che ci sia un parcheggio proprio di fronte al ristornate. Consigliato se si è in zona. Animali ammessi

(Translated by Google) Rustic environment and service to be reviewed, the waitress very efficient and the owner a genuine and cheerful person but above all very honest, the waiter postponed until September. We had the opportunity to admire some good fish dishes, the pizzas, although very stuffed, had a perhaps frozen base, all in all good. It takes a little more effort and it would be a great venue. Don't expect stars but enjoy the simplicity. The very honest, bitter bill offered! (Original) Ambiente rustico e servizio da rivedere, la cameriera molto efficiente e il titolare persona genuina e solare ma soprattutto onestissimo, il cameriere rimandato a settembre. Abbiamo avuto modo di ammirare dei buoni piatti di pesce, le pizze seppur farcitissime avevano una base forse congelata, tutto sommato buone. Ci vuole un pizzico di impegno in più e sarebbe un ottimo locale. Non aspettatevi le stelle ma godetevi la semplicità. Il conto onestissimo, amaro offerto!

I didn’t feel like anything was actually made that day it all seemed reheated , stale, and the service seems like they lack a lot of professional direction. I’ve never been to a restaurant where a server tells me I’m wrong in what I’ve decided to order?! 😅

(Translated by Google) We were guests in the hotel for 5 days. On the first evening we were in the restaurant (4 people). You can choose between a buffet for 35 euros per person or a pizza. The pizzas were very good but twice as expensive as in the region. I don't like to eat very much in the evening, and for 35 euros I can eat for three days. We ate in restaurants in the area for the remaining days and were very satisfied. Facts: - Loud music at the pool and in the restaurant in the morning. - The pool will be closed during lunchtime 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. - The pool will be closed again in the evening from 7:00 p.m. - The water quality from the pool is very good. - Very nice view from the hotel (mountains and sea) - Lots of families with small children in the hotel. - Very loud music every evening until 11:30 p.m. (children's disco) - Impossible to sleep before 11:30 p.m. (way too loud) - The air conditioning in both rooms failed several times. - Complaints about air conditioning were quickly resolved. - Reception staff are very friendly and competent. - Hotel offers shuttle to the beach at an additional cost. (relatively expensive) - It takes 20 minutes to get to the beach by car. - The beach and sea are perfect. Very nice. - Two deck chairs and a parasol for 20 euros per day. - Internet WiFi 19 Mbps is not available everywhere. - Menu in the evening only contains a few pizzas. (very expensive) - The bathroom was not cleaned well. (dirt and hair on the floor) Conclusion: The hotel is suitable for families with small children. If you want a place with a lot of peace and quiet, this is the wrong place. The best thing was the beach. The quality of the beach is very good. You can also eat well there. The staff is very friendly. (Original) Wir waren Gäste im Hotel für 5 Tage. Am erster Abend waren wir im Restaurant (4 Personen). Es gibt zur Auswahl ein Buffet für 35 Euro pro Person oder eine Pizza. Die Pizzas waren sehr gut aber doppelt so teuer als in der Region. Am Abend mag ich nicht sehr viel essen, und für 35 Euro kann ich drei Tage essen. Wir haben die restlichen Tage in Restaurant in der Umgebung gegessen und waren sehr zufrieden. Fakten: - Laute Musik am Pool und im Restaurant bereits am Morgen. - Der Pool wird über die Mittagszeit 13:00 - 15:00 Uhr gesperrt. - Am Abend ab 19:00 Uhr wird der Pool wieder gesperrt. - Die Wasserqualität vom Pool ist sehr gut. - Sehr schöne Aussicht vom Hotel (Berge und Meer) - Sehr viele Familien mit kleinen Kindern im Hotel. - Jeden Abend sehr laute Musik bis 23:30 Uhr. (Kinder-Disco) - Es ist unmöglich vor 23:30 Uhr zu schlafen (viel zu laut) - Die Klimaanlage in beiden Zimmern ist mehrmals ausgefallen. - Reklamationen wegen Klimaanlage wurden schnell behoben. - Personal bei Rezeption ist sehr freundlich und kompetent. - Hotel bietet Shuttle zum Strand gegen Aufpreis. (relativ teuer) - Mit dem Auto fährt man 20 Minuten bis zum Strand. - Der Strand und das Meer sind perfekt. Sehr schön. - Zwei Liegestühle und ein Sonnenschirm für 20 Euro pro Tag. - Internet-WLAN 19 Mbps ist nicht überall verfügbar. - Menu Karte am Abend enthält nur wenige Pizzas. (sehr teuer) - Das Badezimmer wurde nicht gut gereinigt. (Dreck und Haare am Boden) Fazit: Das Hotel eignet sich für Familien mit kleinen Kindern. Wer sich einen Ort mit viel Ruhe wünscht ist hier falsch. Das beste war der Strand. Die Qualität vom Strand ist sehr gut. Dort kann man auch gut essen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.

(Translated by Google) Kind welcome but the cuisine leaves something to be desired. It's a shame in a wonderful hotel like the "Pianeta Maratea" to have a restaurant that isn't up to par. (Original) Gentili all’accoglienza ma lascia a desiderare la cucina. Peccato in un hotel stupendo come il “Pianeta Maratea” avere un ristorante non all’altezza.

(Translated by Google) We tried the new pizzeria: good pizza but we were disappointed by the service. There are few flavors of pizza on the menu, even the capricciosa is missing which it was not possible to have even on request. The pizzas arrive at the table 4 at a time so out of 8 people, half of us ate and the others waited, furthermore, out of 8 pizzas ordered, 3 arrived wrong, further prolonging the wait. Finally we asked for the bill at the table but we were advised to go and pay at the cash register only to pay we had to do the bill on the same floor and the payment on the upper floor escorted by the waiter. We're not quite there. I hope given the splendid location it was an isolated case. (Original) Abbiamo provato la nuova pizzeria: pizza buona ma siamo rimasti delusi dal servizio. Nel menù sono presenti pochi gusti di pizza, manca persino la capricciosa che non è stato possibile avere neanche su richiesta. Le pizze arrivano al tavolo 4 per volta per cui su 8 persone che eravamo metà mangiavano e gli altri aspettavano, inoltre su 8 pizze ordinate 3 sono arrivate sbagliate prolungando ulteriormente l'attesa. Infine abbiamo richiesto il conto al tavolo ma ci è stato suggerito di andare a pagare in cassa solo che per pagare abbiamo fatto il conto sullo stesso piano e il pagamento al piano superiore scortati dal cameriere. Non ci siamo proprio. Spero visto la splendida location sia stato un caso isolato.

(Translated by Google) very nice hotel, spectacular sea view in almost all the rooms, the only flaw is that the arrival is strange and very narrow. overall nice rooms with many services, appreciated the aperitif offered on Friday evening with many tasty fried foods. for breakfast there is a huge variety of products, including local ones, more concentration for the meal service. (Original) hotel molto carino, vista mare spettacolare su quasi tutte le camere, unica pecca per arrivare strana molto stretta. nel complesso belle camere con molti servizi, apprezzato l’aperitivo offerto di venerdì sera con molti fritti gustosi. per la colazione c’è una grandissima vastità di prodotti anche del luogo, più concentrazione per il servizio dei pasti.

(Translated by Google) The best pizza in Maratea without a doubt in an environment with a panoramic view surrounded by excellent music. Access also possible for non-hotel guests. Neapolitan dough, highly digestible and tasty until the next day. Welcoming staff and open to constructive criticism, given the recent launch... for example, I suggested a premium or artisanal mortadella and adding a tasty chip to the classic one. Good prices and above all no cover provided. We stopped to listen to live music and entertain the children at the baby dance. To return. Thank you maitre Gino for an excellent evening. (Original) La miglior pizza di Maratea senza dubbio in un ambiente con vista panoramica contornato da ottima musica. Accesso possibile anche ai non ospiti dell hotel.Impasto Napoletano, altissima digeribilità e gustosa fin l indomani. Personale accogliente e aperto a critiche costruttive, dato il recente avvio...ho per esempio suggerito una mortadella premium o artigianale e di aggiungere una patatina sfiziosa a quella classica. Buoni i prezzi e soprattutto nessun coperto previsto. Ci siamo soffermati ad ascoltare la musica dal vivo e a far divertire i bambini alla baby dance. Da ritornarci. Grazie maitre Gino per l ottima serata.

(Translated by Google) I was able to experience the new pizzeria: excellent! The dough remains light, the pizza 🍕 is seasoned properly. The staff is very kind and professional. To end on a high note: the view. Absolutely worth trying, you won't be disappointed! (Original) Ho potuto sperimentare la nuova pizzeria: eccellente! L'impasto rimane leggero, la pizza 🍕 è condita a dovere. Lo staff è gentilissimo e professionale. A chiudere in bellezza: il panorama. Assolutamente da provare, non rimarrete delusi!

Excellent and fresh food! The service was friendly but very very slow. Would recommend this restaurant though

We were recommended this place by our hotel (Murmann) and they also vetted for gluten free options which the restaurant was able to accommodate. The staff were very nice and welcoming, helped me with the senza glutine options. I ordered the venison ragu with GF spaghetti which was really good. The lemon sorbet was delicious. Great experience & food!

Fun local spot, very friendly service, delicious food and wine at an affordable price point. What a lovely spot. Grazie mille!

Best pizza I have had in Italy so far! Great service and atmosphere. Will definitely return again when I am back in this beautiful town. Thank you 🙏

Really tasty pizza! Friendly and fast service. We enjoyed our dinner

Lovely staff, amazing food and beautiful little local Italian diner. Cannot recommend a visit enough!

(Translated by Google) I visited A Fuoco Lento restaurant and had a truly positive experience. The appetizers and first courses were excellent, prepared with care and flavor. In particular, the octopus salad with potatoes was a real surprise: the octopus was perfectly cooked, tender yet slightly resistant to the bite, making it pleasant to chew. The ratio of octopus to potatoes was well-balanced, without being overpowering, and the dressing truly enhanced the flavors without overpowering them. The tagliolini were exquisite, with fresh pasta, perfectly al dente, and a well-creamed sauce, flavorful yet delicate. Truly a memorable first course. For dessert, I tried the pistachio cheesecake: for my personal taste, I found it overly sweet, and the crust was too hard and compact, making it difficult to even divide with a spoon. I would have preferred a slightly crumbly crust, perhaps with less sugar, and a more airy, less sweet cream, to let the pistachios take center stage. Special praise goes to the young waitress with curly hair, who was extremely friendly, attentive, and smiling. She served us discreetly and kindly, explaining the dishes clearly. A true professional, affable, and delightful, she made the experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! (Original) Sono stata al ristorante A Fuoco Lento e l’esperienza è stata davvero positiva. Gli antipasti e i primi piatti sono stati eccellenti, preparati con attenzione e gusto. In particolare, l’insalata di polpo con patate è stata una vera sorpresa: il polpo era cotto alla perfezione, morbidissimo ma con una leggera resistenza al morso che lo rendeva piacevole da masticare. Il rapporto tra polpo e patate era ben bilanciato, senza eccessi, e il condimento esaltava davvero i sapori senza coprirli. I tagliolini erano squisiti, con una pasta fresca, perfettamente al dente e con un condimento ben mantecato, saporito ma delicato. Davvero un primo piatto memorabile. Per quanto riguarda il dolce, ho assaggiato la cheesecake al pistacchio: per mio gusto personale, l’ho trovata eccessivamente dolce e la consistenza della base era troppo dura e compatta, rendendo difficile anche la divisione al cucchiaio. Avrei preferito una base un po’ più friabile, magari con meno zucchero, e una crema più ariosa e meno carica di dolcezza, per lasciare il pistacchio più protagonista. Un plauso speciale alla cameriera giovane con i capelli ricci, estremamente cordiale, attenta e sorridente: ci ha seguito con discrezione e gentilezza, spiegando i piatti in modo chiaro. Una vera professionista, affabile e deliziosa, ha reso l’esperienza ancora più piacevole. Torneremo sicuramente!

The view is amazing and so is the food here! Perfect lunch stop after a day at the beach.

Great view of the sea and good vibe, excellent for a summer evening at a fairly unhurried pace. Staff very welcoming and professional. Food was tasty, especially the desserts. The Spiaggia Nera below is also wonderful.

Fantastic experience, good food and amazing location

Superb view great food service, music, well run and recommended , will definitely return open September yeahhh smart so many lidos close how silly staying open and advertising brings international visitors

Super location. Sunset. Food.

Despite it is shown as open, it was closed. We arrived with a half year old baby…. 👏👏👏

Such an amazing place...you seat and feel privileged

Delicious! We arrived quite late but Google times said it would still be open. We were the only customers but the staff were so welcoming and friendly. We had a very tasty meal accompanied by their own lovely house wine

Absolutely amazing place. Antonio the owner is so nice and funny. Everything is homemade. The gnocchi fiori di zucca and ravioli were amazing. Antonio showed us how he makes the tiramisu, which is honestly the best tiramisu in Italy!! I highly recommend coming here for dinner if you're in Maratea.

I come here quite often because shortly said: you eat well here! Best to try their spacial "tagliere" where they wisely mix local cheeses, hams and jams. Pastas choice is large and super good! I would not try again the fish (spigola all'acquapazza was floating in fish flakes :/ ... service is a bit messy but kind and friendly... good choice of wines & deserts too

We had lunch after visiting « Cristo Redentore di Maratea », perfect combo. Great food, Nice staff.

Possibly the best Italian meal we've had on our trip, and there have been a few great ones!! Local pasta with mussels and beans was a highlight, might sound odd, but was delicious! House wine was very delicious too! Great value menu. Fantastic service, we spent a while sat over our meal between courses, but weren't made to feel rushed or anything. A great evening, we loved it.

Amazing food. Especially pasta and meat!

Wow, if you want to eat this is the place! I have lived in italy 20 years and traveled alot of it and here I ate the best food by far . All the dishes were exceptional 10 out of 10, and our host Antonio knows how to treat his customers, also our waitress Jessica was outstanding. Simple place, AWESOME food! Thank you Antonio for making our evening special. We are looking forward to having you in Rome!

The view is amazing and the food (specially the bruschetta) is to die for!!! Definitely recommend it!

We had an amazing dinner here tonight. Tried some of the starters, basilicata wine and had the Romano pizza. A very homely vibe with delicious food! 10/10

We have just got back from a 3 week family trip in Italy, we travelled from Rome to Sicily. Our son loves Pizzas and was rating them all throughout the holiday. He rated his Diavola pizza at Da Bruno…. and it came in easily at ***No. 1**** ‘best pizza in Italy!’ I would say that my calzone was the best I’ve ever had too. We sat outside, the view is wonderful and the service matches it! We highly recommend you seek out this hidden gem!

Tutto era meraviglioso! A good selection of drinks and the house wine was much better than elsewhere. The pizzas were fantastic, homemade to order and no 'soggy bottoms. A beautiful location to watch the sunset with views of Cristo Redentore. Excellent service. Grazie mille!

Low season we were the only people. They took care of us.

Very good value. The service was very helpful and friendly. The quality of food was superb as it was all homemade. Definitely would go again!

Best pizza in Italy with the best view ever!!!

The most amazing food wow!!! Best food I’ve had in Italy, hands down. Homely feel and incredible, incredible service. Please do yourself a favour and go.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The host was great, the room was nice and spacious, and the restaurant on-site was really tasty. We would be back for a relaxing stay.

Food delicious, beautiful rustic and elegant location. Excellent price to quality ratio.

The best place to have food in the entirety of Italy I really enjoyed my stay and meal that was provided and hope that more people can actually have real Italian cuisine and enjoy the experience like I did

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience for one night. The rooms are clean and tidy. The staff is very courteous. The area is very quiet and promotes relaxation. The location is relatively convenient compared to the center, but very close to the Redentore. The breakfast is simply fantastic, plentiful and of the highest quality with raw materials all coming from local production. (Original) Eccellente esperienza per una notte. Le camere sono pulite e curate. Il personale è molto cortese. La zona è molto silenziosa e favorisce il relax. La posizione è relativamente comoda rispetto al centro, ma vicinissima al Redentore. La colazione è semplicemente fantastica, abbondante e di elevatissima qualità con materie prime provenienti tutte da produzioni locali.

(Translated by Google) A magical place immersed in the greenery of vineyards and olive trees, very quiet and silent. Very friendly and helpful staff for every need, beautiful and quite spacious rooms. The outside space is something unique, we were immediately captured by the beauty of the outside garden (very well kept) with pergolas for shade and tables to eat outside. In close contact with nature, right next to the farmhouse there are donkeys and sometimes we saw kittens wandering around in the garden. You can see the farmer working in the vegetable garden, in short the simple but most beautiful things. Good products, for breakfast there are homemade jams. Another positive thing from the farmhouse you can see Christ the Redeemer, very suggestive both during the day and in the evening. A few minutes by car is the parking lot to go and visit it. (Original) Un luogo magico immerso nel verde dei vigneti e degli ulivi, molto tranquillo e silenzioso. Personale molto cordiale e disponibile per ogni necessità, camere belle e abbastanza spaziose. Lo spazio fuori è qualcosa di unico, ci ha subito rapito la bellezza del giardino esterno (molto ben tenuto) con pergole per fare ombra e tavolini per poter mangiare fuori. A stretto contatto con la natura, proprio adiacente al casale ci sono degli asinelli e a volte nel giardino abbiamo visto girare dei gattini. Si vede il contadino che lavora nell'orto, insomma le cose semplici ma le più belle. Prodotti buoni, a colazione ci sono le marmellate fatte da loro. Altra cosa positiva dal casale si vede il Cristo Redentore, molto suggestivo sia di giorno che di sera. A pochi minuti di macchina il parcheggio per andare a visitarlo.

(Translated by Google) Casale De Filippo is the perfect place to retreat to when you need to regenerate, rest, enjoy the beautiful things in life. My husband and I stayed in this farmhouse for two nights, but we didn't want to leave. Welcoming rooms, friendly staff, open spaces capable of giving a feeling of peace and tranquility. Everything was perfect and a special mention goes to the breakfasts and dinners we had in the facility. The quality of the raw materials was very high, with truly special zero-mile products. No review could ever truly do justice to this place. We can't wait to return. Many thanks to all the staff (Original) Casale De Filippo é il posto perfetto dove rifugiarsi quando si ha bisogno di rigenerarsi, riposarsi, godere delle cose belle della vita. Io e mio marito abbiamo pernottato in questo casale due notti, ma non saremmo più voluti andare via. Stanze accoglienti, personale gentile, spazi aperti capaci di donare una sensazione di pace e tranquillità. Tutto è stato perfetto e menzione speciale la dobbiamo alle colazioni e alla cena che abbiamo fatto in struttura. Qualità delle materie prime altissima, con prodotti a km.0 davvero speciali. Nessuna recensione potrebbe mai rendere davvero onore a questo posto. Non vediamo l ora di tornarci. Grazie mille a tutto lo staff

(Translated by Google) Last night, my partner and I were fortunate enough to dine at Nonna Maria's house. Welcoming us was her daughter, Barbara. Since we're staying far away, they were kind enough to welcome us at 7:00 PM. When we arrived, they were both busy cooking, and they invited us to sit on their veranda, where we enjoyed a wonderful sunset. The menu was extensive, with all homemade products. I also had the chance to see Nonna Maria at work, cutting the fresh pasta we ate shortly after. I've attached the menu so you can see the quality and quantity of everything we ate. The family atmosphere is wonderful for those of us who seek warmth, hospitality, and authentic food. Nonna Maria is a woman from another era! In addition to cooking divinely, making jams with fruit from her garden, and crafting grappa and bitters with wild herbs, she's also incredibly skilled at sewing and embroidery! We spent a special evening, which not only filled our stomachs, but also filled our hearts with peace and joy. The legendary grandmother entertained us by telling us about her life, reminding us of the true values that, unfortunately, tend to be lost nowadays. She showed me all the doilies she makes with patience and dedication and even gave me one as a gift! We stayed with them for 4 hours! Served, revered, and above all, welcomed with such warmth! Thank you for this magnificent evening. Traveling extensively, we've had the pleasure of visiting various home-cooked restaurants, from northern to southern Italy, and this one beats them all. Highly recommended. Thank you, Grandma Maria, and thank you, Barbara ❤️ (Original) Ieri sera io ed il mio compagno abbiamo avuto la fortuna di cenare presso la casa di Nonna Maria, ad accoglierci oltre a lei, c’era sua figlia Barbara. Alloggiando lontano, hanno fatto la cortesia di riceverci alle 19. Arrivati erano entrambe sui fornelli, ci hanno fatto accomodare nella loro veranda, dove abbiamo potuto godere di un meraviglioso tramonto. Menù ricco, tutti prodotti fatti in casa. Ho anche avuto la possibilità di Vedere Nonna Maria all’opera mentre tagliava la pasta fresca che abbiamo mangiato poco dopo . Allego menù per farvi rendere conto della bontà e della quantità di tutto quello che abbiamo mangiato. Ambiente famigliare, meraviglioso per chi come noi, cerca calore, accoglienza e cibo genuino. Nonna Maria è una donna d’ altri tempi! Oltre a cucinare divinamente, preparare confetture con la frutta del suo giardino, preparare grappe ed amari con erbe selvatiche, è bravissima a cucire e ricamare! Abbiamo passato una serata speciale, che oltre ad averci riempito lo stomaco, ci ha riempito di pace e gioia il cuore. La mitica nonna ci ha intrattenuti raccontandoci la sua vita, ricordandoci i veri valori che al giorno d’oggi purtroppo, si tendono a perdere. Mi ha mostrato tutti i centrini che realizza con pazienza e dedizione e me ne ha anche regalato uno! Siamo rimasti con loro 4 ore! Serviti, riveriti e soprattutto accolti con tantissimo calore! Grazie per questa serata magnifica. Viaggiando molto, abbiamo avuto il piacere di visitare vari home restaurant, da nord a sud Italia, questo li batte tutti. Consigliatissimo. Grazie Nonna Maria e grazie Barbara❤️

(Translated by Google) We were welcomed with a warmth you only find in family. Nonna Maria is incredibly friendly and fantastic in the kitchen, along with her daughter Barbara, who is as talented and kind as her mother! We ate divine local products, impeccably cooked. I was transported back over 30 years, tasting the flavors of yesteryear! A fantastic appetizer of local cured meats and cheeses accompanied by fig jam, a platter of fried zucchini flowers, cruschi peppers, tomato bruschetta, and grilled zucchini, a Flemish-style first course of handmade Lucanian fusilli with sausage ragù and handmade Lucanian ravioli filled with ricotta, served with fresh tomato sauce and ricotta cheese, and for the main course, sausage with peppers and potatoes, and eggplant parmigiana, all accompanied by a delicious local white wine. The tart with lemon jam was also fantastic. It was a fantastic evening! If you like good food, this is definitely the place to go! The price was very fair given the quality and quantity of the food! Thanks again for everything!! ❤️ (Original) Siamo stati accolti con un calore che trovi solo in famiglia, Nonna Maria è simpaticissima ed ai fornelli è fantastica, con lei sua figlia Barbara bravissima e gentilissima come la mamma! Abbiamo mangiato divinamente prodotti locali cucinati in modo impeccabile, ho fatto un salto indietro di oltre 30 anni sentendo i sapori di una volta! Un antipasto fantastico tra salumi e formaggi locali accompagnati dalla marmellata di fichi, un tagliere di fiori di zucca fritti, peperoni cruschi, bruschette al pomodoro e le zucchine grigliate, una fiamminga di primi composti dai fusilli lucani fatti a mano con ragù di salsiccia e ravioli lucani fatti a mano con ripieno di ricotta con sugo di pomodoro fresco e cacio ricotta, per secondo salsiccia con peperoni e patate, la melanzana alla parmigiana tutto accompagnato da un buonissimo vino bianco locale, fantastica anche la crostata con confettura di limoni. È stata una serata fantastica! Se vi piace la buona cucina è sicuramente il posto giusto! Prezzo onestissimo data la qualità e la quantità del cibo! Grazie ancora di tutto!! ❤️

(Translated by Google) This sweet 83-year-old woman cooked a special meal for us after we showed up unannounced at her door, thinking it was a restaurant. It was delicious and abundant. Everything was fresh and homemade! As she said herself: "I'll make something for you!" It was fantastic! Afterwards, she came over to our table for a lovely chat, all in Italian, of course. (Original) Deze lieve vrouw van 83 heeft speciaal voor ons gekookt nadat we onaangekondigd bij haar voor de deur stonden omdat we dachten dat er een restaurant was . Het was heerlijk en veeeeel . Alles vers en zelf gemaakt ! Zoals ze zelf zei : ik maak wel even iets 😁Het was fantastisch! Na afloop kwam ze gezellig kletsen aan tafel , wel alles in t Italiaans natuurlijk 😊

(Translated by Google) Today, we were privileged to enjoy the culinary skills of Nonna Maria and her daughter Barbara, along with our two children. Everything was truly outstanding: from the delicious appetizer with sausage, cheese, bruschetta, and homemade fig jam, to the homemade pasta, salsiccia with potatoes, and the homemade lemon sorbet, the crowning finale of an evening full of warmth and delicious food in a wonderful setting on the terrace with a sea view. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for allowing us to come, despite another group having canceled their reservation. A must for anyone who appreciates good, traditional food, and above all, genuine craftsmanship and genuine warmth. Be sure to make a reservation in advance! (Original) Wir durften heute die Kochkünste von Nonna Maria und ihrer Tochter Barbara gemeinsam mit unseren beiden Kindern genießen. Es war wirklich alles hervorragend: von der köstlichen Vorspeise mit Wurst, Käse, Bruschetta und hausgemachter Feigenmarmelade, über die selbstgemachte Pasta bis hin zur Salsiccia mit Kartoffeln und dem hausgemachten Zitronen-Sorbet als krönendem Abschluss eines Abends voller Herzlichkeit und leckerem Essen in einem wundervollen Ambiente auf der Terrasse mit Meerblick. Wir bedanken uns herzlich, dass wir trotz einer weiteren abgemeldeten Gesellschaft, vorbeikommen durften. Ein Muss für jeden, der gutes und traditionelles Essen und vor allem noch echte Handarbeit und ehrliche Herzlichkeit schätzt. Unbedingt vorher reservieren!
