Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Avellino
Avellino is Irpinia: inland mountains, chestnut woods, and three wine denominations that made Campania's reputation.
The three DOCGs
Taurasi DOCG from Aglianico — the "Barolo of the South" — Fiano di Avellino DOCG and Greco di Tufo DOCG among the whites. Three DOCGs in one province, all within half an hour.
From the woods
- Castagna di Montella IGP and Marrone di Roccadaspide: eaten roasted, in cakes and in soups;
- Black truffle of Bagnoli Irpino, with its autumn fair;
- Porcini and Irpinian hazelnuts.
The dishes
- Cavatelli and fusilli with meat ragù or with chestnuts;
- Minestra maritata and the feast-day cardoon soup;
- Aged caciocavallo and pecorino carmasciano;
- Roast lamb and kid.
The sweets
Irpinian torrone and susamielli; at Christmas pastiera appears here too, though it is Neapolitan.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
