Luna Rossa

Top choice in Calabria


In Terranova di Pollino, Luna Rossa is the highly esteemed restaurant of chef Federico Valicenti. Basilicatan cuisine is perfectly expressed in simple, delicious dishes such as hand-made cavatelli pasta with porcini, breadcrumbs and fennel, or roast capretto (kid) with lemon and egg, made to a medieval recipe. The rustic wood-panelled setting offers breathtaking views.
