“ Ottima esperienza per il pranzo di Pasqua.Tutto molto buono,in particolare i ravioli con cacio ricotta e gli straccetti di carne.lo consiglio nel caso vi trovaste a Rionero in Vulture!molto gentili i propietari e disponibili nell'accogliere altre richieste.unica pecca,ma credo fosse la particolarità della festa e la quantità di persone presenti in ristorante,l'attesa tra una portata e l'altra. ”
“ Simple food at a fair price. Place is styled in an old fashion (and quite out to date) way, but it doesn't matter. We enjoyed our food, and the service was good. ”
“ Good simple food at a great price. We’ve been twice for lunch with a fixed price multi course meal that includes bread, pasta, entree, salad and fruit as well as water, wine and coffee all for €15. Hard to beat. Massimo knows enough English to help us through our poor Italian, making it an overall pleasant experience. The dining room is spacious to say the least with soaring arched ceilings and tables spaced for safe separation of diners. On days with warm comfortable weather, the entry courtyard (for which the restaurant is named) hold outdoor tables under umbrellas for dining al fresco. Nice! We’re looking forward to bringing friends there to try it out for dinner. I’ll report back if there is any change to my score. ”
