Vitantonio Lombardo Ristorante
A one-star Michelin restaurant set in a restored cave in the Sassi, offering creative reinterpretations of Lucanian recipes and ingredients.
Housed in a beautifully restored cave in the Sassi district, this restaurant features an elegant dining room where the chef creatively reimagines traditional Lucanian recipes and local ingredients, earning it one Michelin star in the 2026 guide. It offers 5-, 7-, and 10-course tasting menus with optional wine pairings, as well as à la carte options. Signature dishes include liquid ricotta and sea urchin ravioli, and the dessert "The Last Kiss." Tasting menus take time—a 6-course meal with wine pairing lasts about two and a half hours—so booking in advance is highly recommended. Located on Via Madonna delle Virtù, accessible on foot through the Sassi district.
