Separated by an inner courtyard from a street in the centre of Salerno, this restaurant is a peaceful oasis with comfortable chairs arranged on a modern and stylish veranda (which opens almost completely in summer) and in an equally elegant dining room. Young chef Mario Quarta (born in Battipaglia) combines influences from his native region with techniques learned in renowned restaurants elsewhere in Italy and abroad, including Michelin-starred addresses. The French influence evident in his cooking techniques makes his Campania-focused cuisine even more exciting and contemporary. Our inspector particularly enjoyed the amberjack puttanesca (a seared tuna fillet served with intensely flavoured tomatoes and a delicious sauce). Elegant, professional service completes the picture.
