delicious food, being celiac everything was taken care of and not different from others... I highly recommend celiacs to trust their kitchen, homemade products, pasta, bread, and pizza made by them with gluten-free flour.

Salvatore and his staff are very attentive to the customer's needs, and it is a place that is highly aware of food intolerances and allergies. Well done. Homemade food and super delicious.

Just finished lunch, what can I say, everything was simply wonderful and delicious, the staff was kind, the owner was a meticulous person, we arrived without a reservation and he immediately made himself available, freeing up a table for two; a very positive experience. The truffle tagliatelle were extraordinary, we will definitely return. P.S.: try the grappa they make, it's delicious.

Quiet environment, friendly and kind staff, genuine and excellent food with a special attention to gluten-free options. The ravioli with cod and crunchy pepper were delicious! I recommend it.

Great value for money. Food sourced locally and prepared exceptionally. Fast and precise service. If I had to make any criticisms, it would be that there should be more choices in desserts and liqueurs. Congratulations to this authentic agriturismo.

We just left this fantastic place! Absolutely positive experience. Salvatore, the owner, is a wonderful person with whom we had a very pleasant chat. Amazing appetizers, true traditional Lucanian cuisine. An excellent first course of mushrooms and truffle, and for the second a meat that melted in your mouth. Experience to be repeated. Thank you, Salvatore!

Clean environment and great hospitality. High-quality and well-prepared food. Great attention to my wife who is celiac, as she was able to eat the same dishes as us. We felt at home thanks to the friendly and attentive owner. We will definitely return.

Today, Monday 02/06/2025, on the occasion of the Italian Republic Day, we booked at the agriturismo and we had a great time. From the appetizer to the first course, the second meat dish, and a dessert, with water, wine, and coffee... high-quality dishes cooked excellently. The quality of the establishments in Basilicata is often a certainty. I recommend you go there to eat and then take a trip to the town of Forenza (Pz), which is about a 3-4 minute drive away.

I had lunch here with my family on Easter Monday, fixed menu, quick and attentive service, nice restaurant inside a farmhouse. Alas, I forgot to take photos of all the dishes, but everything was delicious! I recommend it.

Wonderful culinary experience at the conclusion of the tourist visit to the artistic alleys of Forenza. It starts well right from the reservation, when they ask about any intolerances. Being a farm restaurant, it is possible to taste "zero kilometer" products, and we gladly accept the fixed menu consisting of appetizer, first course, second course, and dessert. As a Tuscan, I love meat, and here there is an embarrassment of choice (lamb, beef, pork) and they don't just pay attention to noble cuts; I am very pleased to discover lamb liver (spectacular!) and finally see tripe back on the restaurant menu (delicately tasty), even the details in the kitchen are important (a simple bruschetta becomes an apotheosis of aromas when garlic is perfectly measured and oregano that does not come from the supermarket is used). The appetizers are complemented by sausages in sauce (superb fennel), an inevitable pecorino cheese, capocollo, and salami, with vegetables, ending with broad beans and chicory with a crunchy pepper that "crackles" even after the nine test (the warm, humid conditions of the broad beans and chicory should have made the pepper wilt in a few minutes, but when fried well, it remains steadfast like good Lucanian!). They are also tested with ingredients that are not self-produced (the cod used to fill the ravioli), and the test passes! In over 40 years, I finally find grilled lamb here that doesn't cause me reflux, it was about time! The dessert is presented as simple (sponge cake, mascarpone, mandarin, pineapple) yet it is correct to the eye and palate. Certain bars dream of the coffee that is served at the end of a royal lunch! And when you eat "healthy" products, you don't spend hours digesting them, you get up from the table full obviously but absolutely not weighed down. Low cost considering the quantity and quality of the dishes proposed and served by the owner's daughter, a friendly girl ready to fulfill any request. The owner is keen to get feedback on the first tastings, which is good; by asking, it is possible to remedy any mistakes or bring compliments to the kitchen. You breathe a sense of home here; family management is good for places like this and perhaps that's also why the service is quick yet unhurried, being a Sunday lunch. Thank you for this experience, to be repeated!

Fixed menu at €35 with typical local dishes and drinks included. Simple menu, excellent appetizers (except for the tripe and the liver which were a bit bland), good first courses, and the meat second course was a bit meager but it’s acceptable. Very kind and smiling staff, the service was a bit slow considering we were just the two of us and a large table arrived much later, a couple of hours is a bit too much for a stop, so you need to go there if you're not in a hurry :D I would go back!

For a Sunday in tranquility, this is the right place. Genuine food, family management, and kind people. You leave serene and... full! Various house appetizers, flavorful and abundant; first courses to choose from among 3 (seasonal and based on the availability of raw materials) top ravioli filled with cod and crispy peppers. Only the meat second course based on lamb was good but perhaps could have been made with better pieces (4-5 pieces but small - more bones than meat to understand). Salad and fries as side dishes. Fixed menu for dietary choices (but they vary for intolerances). Complete menu (appetizers, first course, second course, side dish, water, good Aglianico wine, fruit, and dessert) €35; without second dish €30; without first dish €33. Some tables even received some unrequested extra servings...(although he did not know the diners, just to clarify). Not for ours... what a pity! I hope for next time 😛 Clean bathrooms No photos! I didn't have time 😉 And while you're there, go visit the Frontetusio pond... it’s relaxing to sit by the lake and watch the ducklings!

Splendid Ferragosto eve in a welcoming agriturismo with a menu almost entirely prepared with ingredients produced by the farm. Even a superlative Gambrius, also strictly homemade, excellently concluded the rich lunch.

Special mention for the view that stretches from Gargano through Minervino and other parts of Puglia... The menu is truly genuine and good, not to mention abundant, with the kindness and availability of the staff at a really small price. Definitely worth returning to.

Farmhouse immersed in the unspoiled nature of the Lucanian hinterland. Located just outside the small village, but still easy to reach. You can enjoy dishes from typical Lucanian tradition, a simple cuisine but rich in flavors, without any surprises on the bill given the reasonable prices of the menu. Moreover, you can immerse yourself in nature, breathe fresh air, and around you, you will also find animals of various species; you can also ask the management to take you for a tour of the farmhouse to satisfy your curiosity. The staff is kind, helpful, and very approachable. I was pleasantly struck by the place, and I recommend it for spending a day with family and also for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city.
