Il Ristoro Della Civita - Tricarico

We happened on this restaurant at 2pm on a Bank Holiday. We were hungry, but expected to find the door locked. Not a bit of it! A log fire blazing in the large grate, and two or three tables occupied. Everyone gave us 'Buon Giorno ', and the son of the house hurried to welcome us. After a 'lagniappe ' starter of buffalo mozzarella whipped with chopped hazelnuts (or was it walnuts? We each then enjoyed a very nice, generous starter, shared a mixed salad, and then were served with beautifully cooked wild boar meat and porcini (there should be a poem written about this dish oh boy! . We cannot remember if we had desserts we were probably too stuffed. We still have the receipt for this feast, and it was amazingly low priced. A hidden gem do find it if you are travelling that way and it 's a beautiful drive.

Kindness and great food. we ate really well all homemade a true Florentine on antipasti stone and first exceptional and sweet the hornet lace truffle. we have paid even little in short we will definitely return. the kind waiter and recommended us at best every course .

We were staying at a nearby Agriturismo and were surprised to find a few places near it in the mountains. It was open at about 6pm, but for the duration of our meal we were the only ones there the owner seemed a little surprised to see us so early but we felt welcomed. We were given a menu in English, and chose local food, all of which was very good the deep fried Romano peppers were a revelation! Good house wine and service, and very reasonably priced.
