Luna Rossa In Terranova di pollino

Everything was excellent, a rustic place, a fun and welcoming chef, in short it can be defined as a crazy culinary experience.

Destiny, or perhaps the distant past brought us here; after having unknowingly denied to Federico (who I hope reads this review) a certain acquaintance with some Ferrara people of Calabrian origins (Oriolo) and residents in Bari, my girlfriend and I, despite having disturbed them at 5 in the afternoon, were pleasantly surprised both by the hospitality and the incredible menu proposed by the Chef. A very tasty and surprising discovery of Lucanian cuisine accompanied by Federico's historical and family stories. I recommend anyone who ventures to the Pollino to make a short stop in Terranova di Pollino to discover, in addition to the Luna Rossa restaurant, a romantic balcony overlooking the Pollino mountains. Ps: After telling my father this story, I now know that he too was there a few years ago and that my grandfather Clemente knew the chef and the place. A big hug to Federico... look at how the world is so big but also extremely small

Dining in this restaurant is not just about approaching expertly revisited Lucanian cuisine but it is a sensorial experience because Federico, owner and chef, describes each dish served to all the diners, making the dinner pleasant and enriched by many anecdotes and friendliness. In every dish offered you can feel all the love for his land and his passions, the cuisine is excellent, genuine and each dish is served with care and attention to every detail. Each dish is always accompanied by seasonal vegetables and fruit, everything is very fresh and of excellent quality. Greetings from Puglia for Federico.

Dopo molti anni, ritorniamo alla Luna Rossa, Federico ha fatto molta strada e si nota dai piatti, non il semplice ristorante di montagna, ma qualcosa in più. I piatti richiamano la tradizione, anche se preparati con tecniche nuove. Federico da grande cultore dei prodotti locali, racconta come poesia i propri piatti. Atmosfera piacevole.

Cucina del territorio rivisitata, secondo le antiche tradizioni con Ottimi e goduriosi risultati!!!! Da provare assolutamente!!! Grazie al patron e chef Federico Valicenti🌹

to share the experience you have to come...😉

Eating at the great Federico is a life experience even before a culinary one. Talking about emotions would be like spoiling a film. So I recommend you go there.

Everything as expected. Fantastic chef. Moderate prices. Pleasant environment. You need to be transported into the chef's narration.

Everything was spectacular, starting from the food, passing through Federico and finishing with the care of each dish. Highly recommended

Dopo tre ore in auto percorrendo anche strade non messe proprio bene siamo arrivati a Luna Rossa.Il tradizionale ristorante di cucina antica e tipica della Basilicata.Federico Valicenti è stato il pazzo/pioniere che ha scommesso su questo posto e questi luoghi.Nelle sue pietanze ci mette anima e core enunciando al cliente l'origine di quel cibo e il suo perchè.Un' esperienza unica così come il personaggio in questione che io nominerei ambasciatore della Basilicata nel Mondo.
