Peperusko — Restaurant in Castelmezzano

Overpriced for sandwiches. We had a small group seated outside to enjoy the view, so on the upside we enjoyed some nice local wine with a pretty panorama. On the downside, service was less than optimal (in a word, it sucked.) Despite having reserved we had to push tables together ourselves; staff repeated ducked behind crates to play on their phones instead of tending to customers -we had to ask three times for bread to accompany a cheese plate that should have already had the bread with it, for example. We had to flag them down for more water, but it didn't arrive and we had to squeeze out from the table to go inside and ask. Sandwiches are okay but the bread tasted day-old and a bit tough. We spent a hefty sum but still service was truly uncaring and unattentive, not at all the norm for a region known for its hospitality.

Same goes for the sandwich. Hope they figure it out as they have a good place to build a business from, and a pretty captive audience up in...

Really disappointed, shabby service, cheap little satchels of olive oil and balsamic dressing thrown on the table, old lettuce that should have been thrown away, mozzarella cheese cut up into tiny cubes. Looked across at locals having far better quality of food and service. Not a great place if you are a tourist, real shame as I highly recommend everything else about Castelmezzano. Probably should have complained but language barrier and disappointed enough. Hungry afterwards, great pizza place up the road and the bar across the road does great pasta, service great at both places, redeemed...
