"È solo questione di tempo... Anche io sono vittima della magia di Claudio che con la sua cucina ti incanta. La settimana scorsa ero di passaggio a Montemarano e mi sono fermato a pranzo: cavatelli con guanciale, pomodorini e ricotta salata. Peccato che non sono bastati a placare la mia fame. E allora Claudio ha preparato subito un buon hamburger con il tartufo accompagnato da patate e peperoni. Il gran finale è stato riservato alla millefoglie di crema e... Mi sono perso! Faccio prima a consigliarvi di andare al VinCanto. Una volta arrivati all'osteria, sedetevi e chiudete gli occhi. Inizierà la magia di Claudio "

"The place is beautiful, a really beautiful location. Food: 50:50 We were four two of us had good food (parmigiana, pollo, veal) two of us were unhappy. Pasta with broccoli sauce was not a good idea at all, but above all the lamb was a complete disappointment. Only bones and fat, tiny pieces of meat, **** on the bone. Cook would never have used it. When one member of our family (who previously visited three Italian restaurants) put his plate aside, a waitress came and tried to convince him that there were meat. This is not a way and was untrue, because my lamb was only bone, also (with a cold broccoli sauce inedible and usually I love broccoli). The other waiter was very friendly, bread and wine were good. But we don't come back there's enough excellent food around, and for a cheaper price."

"I knew of this Agriturismo sometime ago and have waited nearly a year for it to open for one reason they were going to offer something special, homely and hand made and they have done just what they promised. The restaurant is charming and inviting and the family run business is done wo with a passion for the genuine produce that they bring to the table with top class service. My husband, and my two children, who are also adults decided to celebrate my 31st wedding anniversary here and we loved it!! The chef, a lady of basically runs the kitchen and the small holding delivered an antipasto made up of the following Mozzerella, riccota baked with truffle oil, local matured cheese baked with truffle a harder consistency to the ricotta this cheese is called Cacciocavallo and is a local delicacy. Goats cheese served with wild bee honey, Roasted pork leg sliced with rocket salad, parma ham, salami and smoked bacon. Hot dishes included a delicious tripe cooked in spicey tomatoe sauce, harricot beans with sausage, aubergine parmesan, stuffed peppers, grilled vegetables, bruschette with tomatoes, fried green peppers, gratin of baked onion, sauteed green beans with bacon. This was just the anti pasto all was served at a great pace, we were not rushed and we enjoyed their locally produced wine which was a great house wine, RED. As far as pasta dishes were concerned there were two choice bought to the table, Tavioli made in house served with butter and truffle sauce filled with ricotta and dressed with parmesan cheese, The second plate of pasta was homemade spagetti servied in a rich tomatoe and porcini mushroom sauce. I could not eat the pasta so the chef made me a huge plate of suateed green beans with the porcini and tomatoe sauce it was so delicious that i had seconds. Amazing. We ate between us as our main course 3 Tagliate that is three grilled and sliced beef steaks served with porcini mushrooms and rocket. The meat was accompanied with mixed salad, potatoes baked with onions and then toour great surprise the chef servied us with hand made stuffed peppers stuffed with spicey tuna, sorrentine tomatoes with basil and a wild rocket sald with porcini mushrooms and truffles. We just could not even negotiate any form of desert but were offered liquors and coffee free of charge In four people we spent 120 euros, that is 30 euros per head!!!! I cannot believe just how amazing this place is and cannot wait to return, We have begged for 5 litres of wine next time to take home as they make it themselves and it is absolutely delightful. What can I say, Nicola, Soccorso and his wife the more than able chef, YOU GAVE ME A FANTASTIC culinary experience and i wish you luck for the future. Tanti saluti Rita and Gennaro, Giovanni and Maria Luisa Avellino"

"I found this restaurant, or rather agriturismo on trip advisor although have now discovered that many from out of the area get to the agriturismo via the various groupon formulas that they offer. The restaurant offers manues alla carte or those linked to groupon vouchers. The groupon vouchers offer menues of anti pasti which are less rich than the one that we had with meat or a menue that comprends just all the pasta you can eat various sauces with anti pasti and wine, water and dessert and just coffee. A great deal as for two people you would spend around 20 euros. I never go for this type of choice as i prefer to eat what i like and not be forced into pasta or meat as i am intollerant to pasta. WE ATE 3 ANTI PASTI parma ham, salami, local cold cuts, mozzarella, ricotta and potatoe with cheese x 2 and a white bean soup and also a soup made with greens and beans. We had a litre of wine and a litre of water bought to the table with bread and also tomato bruschetta. My husband and my daughter had pasta fusilli with cream and black truffles and orrecchiete pasta with pumpkin and mushrooms and i had a plate of the greens with beans. We had grilled meats, lamb, sausage and veal steak, salad and chips hand cut, two slices of apricot pie, a huge plate of cheese for me followed by two grappas and 4 coffees price 80 euros coming out at around 27 euros a head. The groupon formula comes out at 10 euros a head but there is not plate of ham or cheese and no first or second course depending on what you have if you add the plate of anti pasto then it totals up to around 15 then with the plate of meat or pasta you would arrive easily at 25 27 euros per head so it all works out honestly. I will certainly come back again as i loved the tastes, ususally i never even touch the potatoe plates, but i tasted them and they were delicious, never eat sausage but these were so well grilled and so lean that i just could not resist and was glad i ate what i did the cheese was absolutely delicious and the slice of pie was big and I am assured to die for. We had a good time and no one that was there when we arrived made a move to leave!!!!! Only negative point, the service was a little slow and confusing to the wait staff I am sure as most of the restaurant were using the vouchers only good thing that comes out of this is the pasta came out piping hot and not pre cooked as they were constantly on the go and offered 5 types of sauces so you got served freshout of the pan!!! Such good value, try it Rita, Gennaro and Maria Luisa, Avellino"

"Abbiamo desinato a pranzo in questo splendido posto, in pieno lunedì grasso nel Carnevale di questo anno 2023. Eccellente l'antipasto, fatto di cose buone e genuine, che, io e mia figlia essendo cultori della pietanza, abbiamo fatto seguire da uno squisito piatto di baccalà al peperone crusco, vera prelibatezza per il palato, e...anche per gli occhi. Mia moglie invece ha preferito un primo di pasta (rigorosamente fatta in casa) condita da un amalgama di cose talmente saporite da non chiederci neppure gli ingredienti. Contorni all'altezza, un buon dolce per finire con l'accompagno d'un vino aglianico campano di tutto rispetto. Giusto, equo ed accessibile il conto. Torneremo certamente da Claudio e sua moglie, solerti e gentilissimi, per un locale di certo tra i migliori dell'intera Irpinia e non solo di questa. Un plauso a voi tutti! Antonio Pulcrano"
