A little hidden osteria. The owner couple has some certificates hanging on the walls. There are no seats outside and pizza only in the evening. The food was good but not excellent. Maybe that's because we visited right after the opening at 12:45. Anyway, the cup of the espresso was cold and therefore the delicious enjoyment there. In addition, milk was missing for the Macciato. Milk was missing?

a small trattoria in a tiny village on the edge of Pollino Park - everything is good ~ try the black piglet with the outstanding crunchy Tropea onions

Slow- and local Italiaan food with a lovely little Italian chaos. Go there if you are a real food lover!
