Here, meals are cooked the way they are in Lucanian homes. The vegetables, fruit and fresh herbs come in from the garden and the growers nearby, the pasta is rolled and cut by hand in the kitchen, pizza comes out of the wood-fired oven, and the wine is the region’s own Aglianico, poured at tables that no one is in a hurry to leave.
Across the Palazzo, each table and bar has its own mood:
- Long, home-style meals in the Eat-in Kitchen
- Cocktails at the Cinecittà Bar
- A quiet drink at the Family Bar
- Aperitivo at the Pool Bar
- Grilled dinners outside at the Garden Grigliata
Local Sourcing
Almost everything on the table comes from close by. The kitchen buys from small family farms across the area, and the flour is worth singling out: it arrives each month from a nearby mill, a gathering point for growers who have worked the region’s old grain varieties for generations. That flour becomes the day’s bread, the pizza from the wood-fired oven, and the pasta rolled by hand in the kitchen. Sourcing this way keeps the food tied to the place, and the place tied to the people who farm it.
