We stopped in for a very late snack, as we had a filling apertivo on the terrace at our BnB. Our…read morehope was for something light, but what came was so fabulous that "lite" did not matter. They do not have a printed menu, and what is offered is from the fresh catch of the day. We decided to share a single portion of ante pasta, though something was gained in translation, as enough food for six people arrived. There were only three of us. Good thing we did not order first and second dishes (pasta then fish or meat). The food arrived with a squid and artichoke dish and a plate of octopus. This was followed with a dish of whole, small octopus in a sauce. A grilled swordfish was excellent. Two plates of the freshest mussels ever arrived (we had asked for mussels). We drank a bottle of white Basilicata Ballaggio. They include a carne option in the second dish, by the way. We concluded with a sample of house made amare and a rosolio. On our way out, the owner showed us a picture of a rare catch that day kf a prized fish, and he explained their all fresh approach. What can one say. Tip well, eat well (tipping not expected in Italy, by the way).

Whenever I see sea urchins on the menu I have to get them, so we ordered the pasta with sea urchins and the whole grilled fish to share. Both items were very good and their bread was outstanding. The views from the restaurant are very nice, particularly if you sit outside.

The menu is drawn from local Basillicata food ways, and included podolico, the regional beef. Another well loved item, pepperoni crusti, covered a plate of pasta. These are dried peppers flsh fried andcrisp. This was accompanied by a bowl of thick vegatable soup. The beefsteak was excellent, and was only the second round of beef cooked as steak in three weeks of travel here. It was very special, and this beef has been grass feed and and grazed on the local mountain side. To finish, we had some popular deserts and an amora mads from Chrithmum( rock samphire, or sea fennel). We were serenaded by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and there friends. As if they could read my mind and mood, as we finished, Nora Jones continued on the music track. We enjoyed this meal very much. Eat well, tip well.
