Al Duomo, a gem in the heart of Potenza 🍝 - Food: 5/5 🛎️ - Service 5/5 📍 - Location & atmosphere 5/5 Giving a place like Il Duomo a rating is a tough one because, honestly, five stars feel a bit stingy. Look, it’s hard to go wrong when you’re tucking in anywhere in Potenza—the food scene here is top-tier—but even among all that excellence, this spot is easily one of the most interesting. It’s tucked away right in the soul of the old town, just a stone's throw from the Cathedral of San Gerardo. Honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air to see a place like this holding the fort in the historic centre, especially given the baffling trend of local restaurateurs jumping ship and moving elsewhere. The food quality was absolutely spot on. The front-of-house manager really knew her stuff, and her recommendations were a masterstroke, especially for the kids. Watching them dive into a cotoletta cooked to absolute perfection was a result. My boy even had his first proper go at strascinati with pezzente—a culinary christening that went down a treat. I’m still salivating thinking about that creamed cod (baccalà mantecato) I managed to steal a nibble of. I won’t bore you by listing every single course; just take my word for it, sit down and let the menu do the talking. Every bite is proof of the manic level of work going on in that kitchen. Service was sharp, punctual, and came with that genuine kindness that you just can't fake. A high-spec spot where the professionalism and passion are stitched into every single detail.
