Farm-to-table feasting awaits at this wonderful
hillside
agriturismo
, complete with sweeping views of the Vallo di Diano. Earthy flavours
dominate the menu, the farm's home-reared boar, veal and pork shining through in options
like
pasta fresca
(fresh egg pasta) with
cinghiale
(boar) and porcini mushrooms.
The creative
antipasto misto
delivers treats like anchovy-laced
zeppole
(fried pizza
dough) or
parmigiana di scarola
(escarole parmigiana), a clever adaptation of the classic
aubergine version. Young, affable owner Francesco is passionate about the Cilento, and
offers on-site accommodation (single/double/triple €35/50/65) and organised tours of the
area. If driving from the Certosa, head northeast along Viale Certosa (towards the town
centre), turn right into Strada Provinciale 180 and follow the signs for Fattoria Alvaneta.
