Food Scene

Owner Nicola and his lovely wife are the perfect hosts. Check out the extensive menu but don’t be afraid to ask if there are any special dishes available. Open for both lunch and dinner but closed in between. Walk in at 6pm and you will have the place to yourself or enjoy a lively scene at 9pm together with many of the locals. For wine our favorite is the local Primitivo.

Proprietors Dino and his brother serve up some nice delicatessen and if you ask for something that they don’t have in stock they will find a way to get it there if not the next day, a couple of days later. Dino gave us some very tasty olives that were canned by his Mom.

Sightseeing

The recently renovated cathedral shows the importance of Irsina in the medieval times. Not many small towns can boast having a cathedral. Inside you will find a rare marble Mantegna statue of the Santa Euphemia.
