Locanda San Cipriano — Restaurant in Atena Lucana

Meet Antonio, one incredibly passionate chef and owner of @locanda_san_cipriano_ which is in Campagnia, Salerno. Antonio is so special and it was both an honour to eat his food and talk to the man himself about biodiversity, the history of food and even better to see his secret stash of his own 15 year old balsamico that he is making in the style of Modena where he once worked. Outside Antonio’s restaurant is an electric car charger that you can use for free when you join him for dinner. Antonio also has a food truck that was designed by a friend in Rome that he outfitted himself. The specialties here are baccala and the decision was tough. We opted for one with Sicilian roots made so simply with cod and raisins. It sounds crazy but my goodness it was so wicked. Antonio then offer us a pasta made with crunchy sweet peppers and bread crumbs with his own olive oil. The salad was simple but with the most amazing tomatoes also from both Sicily and Napoli. This is a #roadlesstravelled place but it should be more travelled and a destination. I can’t wait to go back. Please follow @joannasable on instagram for more...

We highly recommend making a dinner reservation in advance, as the restaurant fills up quickly in the evening.

We had a wonderful stay with our camper. The overnight spot was free and even included water and electricity. We had originally planned to stay for just one night, but after such a fantastic dinner, we happily decided to stay for a second.

The veal fillet and cod dishes are a must-try – they are the restaurant's specialties. The service was excellent. One of our servers spoke English very well, and the owner, Antonio, was incredibly helpful, giving us great recommendations for the area. We will...

Male male male. Siamo ritornati a distanza di un anno in questo locale in quanto piacevolmente colpiti dalla qualità dei prodotti e l'ampia scelta dei piatti senza glutine. Ritornati a distanza di un anno (non so se i gestori sono cambiati ecc)quella che fu una bella esperienza purtroppo rimarrà solo un ricordo lontano.

L'intero menù è stato stravolto. Poca scelta di antipasti nonché di primi senza glutine. Trovo poi inconcepibile che un locale presente nel circuito AIC non abbia nemmeno un primo piatto senza glutine inoltre, nel mio caso (io celiaco e la mia ragazza no), il personale di sala portando il pane glutinoso in un cestino pone lo stesso a contatto con il tagliere di salumi costringendomi ad evitare di mangiare quella parte. Gnocco fritto glutinoso(tra le cose zuppo d'olio) lontano parente dello gnocco fritto modenese. Per quanto riguarda i secondi anche questi male male. Filetto immangiabile.

Dispiace un sacco per questa nostra recensione negativa ma il ricordo della dolce signora(che non era presente la sera del nostro ritorno che ci fa pensare anche la gestione sia cambiata) che con garbo e competenza(sul senza glutine) ci illustrava i piatti nonché la qualità dei prodotti che trovammo un anno fa purtroppo non l'abbiamo nuovamente...
