About
Our history begins in the Thirties. Maybe just oldiest will remember Zi Filomena and her warm house. Up there in the old town, she hosted guards, workers, logger and passengers who stopped their travel for tasting her special cooking and feeling like at home in a warm homey ambient. From 1956 Zia Grazia she is the master of the house and ,with loyal friends ( like Commare Angelina who helps us from ever) and other valid assistants, she transformed that house in a famous and valued restaurant. Her art is the passion and love for every creation, the magical power to transform every simple dish in a high success! Still now after many years of experience, our philosophy is to make our costumer feeling comfortable, like at home, in the worm of a blazing fireplace...... ......In a family atmosphere.... ....With best product of this beautiful country of south of Italy..... .....With good and real savour..... .....That pass down from one generation to another.

Party of 4 had midday meal at this restaurant which is the real deal. Some English spoken. The waitress who I believe was the chefs wife expertly described each offering in detail. The chef looked like a rel pro and came out to meet everyone after the meal. Excellent antipasto featuring local salumi and cheeses followed by excellent pastas representative of the Cilento region, all expertly prepared. Sat outdoors and inside very nice as well. Beautiful steaks displayed inside. Best Tiramisu ever for dessert . Highly recommended!

My friends and I went there for a short notice dinner and they welcomed us in the most warm and competent way. The staff was absolutely lovely, ready to give good advice and super efficient. The food and the wine we had, made our night something to remember. We were very curious and tried different dishes, which were one better than the other. What a wonderful place to go to. Plus, the prices were almost ridiculous for the amount of mouthwatering food and wine we had. Thanks once again to the team. We will definitely be back.

We heard about the place to eat great local food. To start with a very friendly and fun reception by the owner and table choice outside. The prosciutto and salami divine, cavatielli con scamorza affumicata a dream only topped by the primo del giorno 😉. The slow cooked vitello and the beef filet wonderful as well as the contorni! To close a superb baba with cream. All in all we spent a very nice evening and felt very welcome and at home. We‘ll be back

Perfect dinner in an unusual place. This restaurant was amazing and deserves all the success and to be famous more than it is. Traditional plates but cooked and served with attention and good care. Above all, the Cilento region is something don't famous yet, also for Italians. It look like to be in the 90s. Try thr ravioli!

At the sudden it was medley roast (as you can translate arrosto misto). The kitchen had its fame, but a stopover in the afternoon of August 15th was worth to do. Sausage and lamb tasty and well cooked, spedy enough nevertheless the throng. To stop to

Every year we visit this magnificent restaurant, and every year Mario greets us like we are family. One time in particular, his restaurant was closed, but he did not tell us that. Instead he simply invited us in and served us what his family was eating for lunch, and in the end, he wouldn't even take payment for our meal. Every dish is freshly prepared, with the finest ingredients, and a feast for your palate. Just when you thought you couldn't eat something better, the next course arrives. A definite gem that everyone should find their way to. I purposely wrote this in English so that Mario and his family can get visitors from near and far to join him at his table.

Meander down the stone street into another world. Warmth from the open hearth (used for grilling) and welcoming smiles from the staff add to the ambience of family tradition in the kitchen. Watch as the pasta is rolled and foods are prepared on the large table in front. The chef cut the freshly baked focaccia with artistry and offered samples while it was still warm. With a drizzle of olive oil…what could be better??? Fresh local ingredients prepared in recipes passed down through the generations… we shared several of the daily specials suggested. And of course local wine. Save room for dessert/dolce! Yes, I look forward to many more visits. Buon appetito!

This is a popular place in Caselle and rightfully so. We had their antipasto de misto and it was really tasty. Their deserts are also killer, comes recommended!

We were here for lunch on a Thursday, and the place was full (even though it's located in a small town) - which I think says it all. The restaurant is run by a family, and has been so for several generations. The atmosphere is very cosy and authentic. Most importantly: the food is absolutely amazing! The menu does not have too many options, but even from those we had a hard time choosing. We shared one antipasto, one pasta, one secondi and one dessert between two people, and were struggling the finish it as the portions are very large (although it was so good we wanted to eat more!) Already the antipasto could be eaten by itself - as it comprises a plate with cold options, a plate with warm options and a plate of several cold cuts and cheeses. It's the best antipasto I've ever had, and it's definitely a must-try! Following the antipasto we had pasta with truffel, which again was a very large portion - what they served for one person would easily have been served as two separate portions at most restaurants. Finally we had grilled lamb with home-made french fries and dessert. Each dish tasted simply fantastic, and was worth every penny. It's a shame that is was located quite far away from where we were staying, cause we would have loved to come back!

We had been recommended to come here by our Italian hostess. We sought it out and oh! it was so worth it. Everything was delectable and exciting. There was an emphasis on fungi - not usually my thing but I was converted. We didn't really have room for desserts but that didn't stop us and they were stunning. Our little squeaks and moans of delight throughout the meal must have pleased the momma (maybe Filomema herself?) who sent two free drinks to our table - which I thought only happened in movies! That was a homemade spirit of bilberries (Goggle translate we love you!) - I had to drink both glasses as my companion was driving, which only increased the smile on my face as I left. I totally agree with the review that says just ask them what's good - wish I had thought of that! They know and love their food here so you would get something amazing. Like that reviewer (Poppy86414) , I can't wait to go back, and i would learn Italian so I can talk more to the lovely staff.

We made a special trip to this restaurant and it was worth it. My advice would be not to bother with the menu but let them bring you what is good and what they are cooking right now. This is what they would like to do it. It may feel like a leap of faith if your Italian is as hopeless as ours but, with the help of an English speaking passerby, this is what we did. It will be phenomenally good and you will get to try all sorts of new bits and pieces that you might not otherwise have thought of. A real foodie's treat. Worth going away and learning Italian for. That's what I'm going to do! Lovely, courteous service and just great.

Beautiful restaurant. We had a great meal. Really high standard waitstaff. Very kind and of great professionalism. We had gone to try the lamb and grilled meat but we also tasted other dishes (mushrooms and seasonal appetizers) that we found stratospheric. Really everything great. What's more, they also made us taste the rabbit cacciatore which was delicious and the lean pork belly. There were 10 of us plus 5 children and they were all satisfied. Sweet, sweet treats. Beautiful discovery.

Very refined place. Very experienced staff and unparalleled cuteness. Impeccable service, despite the people in our group arriving at different times of dinner. Courtesy, hospitality. Great ability to listen and suggest. In short, a place of the heart. Impeccable presentation of dishes But let's talk about the food. A constant discovery of flavors, each dish made us explode in the mouth taste that until now we had never heard. At the time of the bill we were in disbelief. I would have paid 3 times what I spent and I would have been happy as a child. If you are in Cilento make sure to include a visit to this restaurant. P.S. even just to write the review I remember those extraordinary flavors. Watering

A wonderful place. Very good dishes, humanly extraordinary staff. Very convivial atmosphere inside, the staff helped us in the choice of dishes, all apt. Excellent quality house wine, such as local ingredients used for dishes At the end of dinner we were offered bitters for everyone, and from the table next door they gave homemade desserts as evidence of the beautiful atmosphere present inside the room. Total bill derisory, we expected to pay much more. We will definitely be back, Thank you.
