In the captivating town of Castelmezzano, the restaurant Al Becco della Civetta has been an institution of good food for many years.

She respects the time-honored recipes and gives them a bit of flair without compromising their traditions.

The restaurant is large enough to host parties, nicely decorated and welcoming, with windows as well as some tables out on the balcony overlooking the looming peaks of the Dolomiti Lucane mountains.
