Osteria Arbustico Paestum

A great experience in a superb gourmet restaurant, with all the characteristic of a starred Michelin spot. The ambient is modern and the food preparation represent the territory in a contemporary way. Each dish has an incredible balance where you can taste all the single ingredients. Service and sommelier are super professional and well prepared. I wish we can get back here soon

Food was amazing, we took My roots 8 dishes menu, and the majority of them was great. But unfortunately dishes were coming with very long breaks. Instead of 120 minutes our experience lasted at least 3 hours and a half. By the time of desert we were too tired to appreciate it fully. Also wine pairing arrived later than some dishes and few choices of sommelier were a bit questionable. Generally very nice restaurant and worth the visit but have some room for improvement.

The cooking that I was particular about is offered, but there is a thing lacking umami taste. In addition, the bread is too hard.

Everything top

The restaurant is part of the structure that makes up the Royal Paestum Hotel, so easy access and has a large internal parking.The furnishings and arrangement of tables are sublime, wide space and taste in creating the right atmosphere. It is particularly kind and prepared, as you would expect from a star restaurant.The wine paper has surprised me, it is incredibly wide, so that any estimator can satisfy, I chose one of the two degustation menus present, which unfortunately did not meet my personal taste completely. This does not want to be a critic of the cook: raw materials are excellent and are matched according to his cooking vision, perhaps I was going with a different expectation. After following the Chef's path, I would have expected a more traditional and recognisable kitchen, but it was much more "impulsed" than I thought, this is my "limit", because I love delicate flavors. I think I deserve a second. (and a third) opportunity, to fully understand the potential of the dishes, perhaps by choosing a different menu.The price is absolutely in line with the type of restaurant.
