Cala del Citro is a new restaurant that belongs to the hotel of the same name and was opened in the summer of 2018. Cala means cove (a small bay with a beach), and the restaurant looks out over the Cala del Citro near Maratea. As we arrived when it was already dark, we could only hear the surf crashing, but at lunchtime (or earlier in summer when it gets dark later) the view from the outside seating of the restaurant must be awesome. Maratea is a town on the beautiful Gulf of Policastro, and also known as the âpearl of the Tyrrhenian Seaâ. It is in the narrow piece of Basilicata wedged between Calabria and Campania.The restaurant offers an a la carte selection as well as a 7 course tasting menu for 70 euros. We opted for the latter.The first course of the tasting menu looked more like what would be called amuses bouches (small appetizers) at other restaurants. The crispy eggplant and mint ball with a bit of gazpacho was very good. There was also a tiny eggplant quiche and a cod cracker with cruschi mayonaise (cruschi is a type of pepper). The quiche was a replacement for a zucchini blossom stuffed with ricotta, because unfortunately the season for zucchini blossoms is ending.Three types of seafood carpaccio including prawn and swordfish with various garnishes. The garnishes were all very tasty, but perhaps a bit too many of them.Basil risotto with vongole. This is an original combination that works well. There was a nice amount of vongole in the risotto. As often happens in restaurants, the consistency of the risotto was not as creamy as homemade risotto.Fresh tagliolini made with squid ink, raw squid, a sauce of yellow cherry tomatoes, and a bit of bottarga grated on top. This dish was perfect and worthy of at least one Michelin star. The pasta had just the right texture, the raw squid was very tender, and the yellow tomato sauce had the flavor of fresh tomatoes, which brightened up and balanced out the dish. Well done.Stuffed red mullet with pistachios and a citrus sauce, with black olive powder. This seemed to me as if it was inspired by sarde a beccafico, a similar dish from Sicily with sardines and pinenuts. It is very difficult to serve red mullet with a crispy skin without breaking the skin, which was done perfectly. I thought however that it was a bit hard to make out the mullet due to the amount of stuffing and citrus sauce. Maybe a bit more salt on the mullet, or less stuffing, would have helped.Beltfish with cream of zucchini and mint. The fish was nice and moist. It could have handled a bit more than the small amount of zucchini cream.A very nice dessert: almond ice cream with crushed amaretti (almond cookies) and amarena cherries. Almonds and cherries are always a good combination, and this has great flavor and a nice contrast between the creamy ice cream and crispy amaretti powder.I see a great future ahead of the young chef Dario Amaro. The food is presented beautifully and very tasty. All of the dishes in the tasting menu were good, and some were excellent.The service and the wine of this new restaurant are not yet at the level of the cooking. The service during the menu was fine, but before (waiting to order) and after (waiting for coffee and the check) the waiting times were too long. The wine selection was too limited for a restaurant of this level. The food is âwine friendlyâ so a wine pairing is not strictly necessary, but a wider selection of white wines by the bottle would be great.We will certainly return to Cala del Citro when we are again in this area, as I am very curious how the restaurant will evolve. In the meantime, I definitely recommend this restaurant when you are in the area.

It is not the prettiest restaurant one could expect, forget about the sea view, the romantic atmosphere or the glamour. However if you are looking for exceptional fresh fish made with passion, knowledge and creativity, this is what you're looking for. The chef and the staff are all women and they are really a passionate, professional and friendly team. I highly recommended it!!

Having visited my birthplace town, I decided to try out all the local restaurants. 'La Stradella' is by far the 'best in town'. Although its not in the greatest location it has a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Its not the cheapest but above all the food is fantastic and plentiful. My wife and 2 children also enjoyed the food. Our children are difficult to please! The host, Massimo was obliging to our requests. I would highly recommend! If your passing by Lagonegro just take either of the motorway exits and look for the multistorey carpark. The restaurant is opposite the entrance.Noi de "La Stradella" Vi ringraziamo per averci scelto, e saremo lieti di rivederVi. il proprietario, inoltre, Vi ringrazia .Vi invitati amo inoltre a visitare.

Era tempo che volevo andare in questo ristorante e ci sono stato recentemente a pranzo invitato da una coppia di amici. la location è suggestiva in quanto è situato sulla riva del lago Sirino. Gli ambienti sono molto curati e l'accoglienza è stata molto cordiale e professionale. Nell'attesa dei primi piatti ci hanno servito una classica bruschetta con il pomodoro ma molto ben fatta, di solito in altri locali la portano bruciacchiata mentre questa era croccante e tostata al punto giusto. Io e mia moglie abbiamo ordinato come primi paccheri con baccalà e peperoni cruschi di Senise e risotto con podolico. Ottimi entrambi ma tra i due vince a mani basse il gusto dei paccheri. Come secondo polletto alla griglia con patate e brasato alla Nino, entrambi buoni con preferenza del polletto rispetto al brasato. Contorni di peperoni cruschi e broccoli saltati. Il tutto accompagnato da un rosso lucano della cantina del notaio. Che dire... ristorante consigliato. Andateci e vi esorto ad assaggiare i paccheri con baccalà e peperoni cruschi. Ci ritornerò sicuramente

Più che una cena è stata una vera e propria degustazione dal sapore eccellente.Un trittico di antipasti variati con oculatezza e gusto dello chef.Un primo piatto dal sapore tutto mare e per secondo un tonno rosso che è stata una vera squisitezza. Ma come non esprimere un elogio spassionato e sincero al cuoco che ha avuto il buon gusto di esprimersi al meglio della sua maestria.il Primo antipasto: Gambero rosso di Mazara del Vallo flambè all'Armagnac su stracciata di bufala campana i.g.p. - A seguire altro antipasto : Polpo scottato, ventaglio di mela annurca su purea di patate silane (in omaggio alla mia terra) e per concludere un terzo antipasto: Triglia al pane saporito in tempura con crema di baccalà e e stratto di bietola rossa. Il primo piatto : Spaghettone di Gragnago alle vongole con zafferano dell'Aquila e bottarga di muggine. Il secondo: Cubo di tonno rosso del mediterraneo e roux di guancia di fassona brasata. Il tutto contornato da ottimi vini bianco, rosè e ambrato.

This is a family run and family fun restaurant. if you want to see the real Italy come here for good Pizza excellent steaks and warm hospitality.Watch enormous families laugh and eat, everyone knows everyone else but they will make you feel welcome.If you have the grill you get a bib which is always an ice breaker.
