TENUTA PILASTRU

Only visited the amazing restaurant one night in mid-April for dinner when we were staying about 30mins drive away. Worth the trip! Read good reviews on food, service and atmosphere but were still pleasantly surprised.

Instead of going elsewhere for an aperitive, we arrived around 6:45pm to sit on the terrace and admire the rock formations and a view of the lovely swimming pool. Staff were more than happy accommodate with two glasses of nice Vermentino and some snacks (€7 per glass) prior to our 7:30pm dinner reservation (we generally eat early after long days).

Then dinner time in the large but somewhat intimate restaurant that is elegantly decorated and a nice atmosphere. Not loud, not quiet, just right. One of the English-speaking hosts explained the menu, including a full bottle of house red wine plus water already on the table, and we got started. Each course VERY sizable for two people with appetizers, primi, secondi and desset. All local and all fresh including some vegetable tempura, gnocchi ragu, and suckling pig. This was followed by dessets (I thought I wouldn’t fit in the pastry/cheese/honey combo but super nice), the amazing Mirto digestive and finally an espresso. All for €50 per person.

Super friendly and efficient staff that pace it just right between courses, explaining what you have, and asking what you want. Some of the best hosts we’ve had so thank you to hard working staff.

Overall, one of the most unique experiences around and, given some of the high prices around this region, exceptional value. Highly recommend!
