Il Rifugio Del Barone - TAURASI

I discovered this agriturismo via trip advisor and have never eaten in Taurasi before so my husband and my son and i decided to try a place where the wine basically speaks volumes in quality so we convinced that the agriturismo would match our great expectations and it did. The signora Rosa who owns and cooks in the restaurant was so nice whilst i booked and made sure that my special request was looked after as i do not eat pasta the menue is fixed at 25 euros a head with unlimited house wine which is of excellent quality. She offers a hot and cold anti pasta COLD PLATE cured ham, capo collo, panjetta and salami plus a plate of cheese accompanied with homemade wine jelly. the anti pasto is then made up of portions of zucchini fritters, pickled aubergines, peppers and zucchini. cannellini bean bruschetta, potatoe and pumpkin soup, aubergine parmigiano, green bean rolls with cured meat and melted cheese. I then had a second course of sauteed cabbage and chilli whilst my husband and my son ate a nice plate of home made pasta with pumkin, porcini mushrooms and italian sausage the portions were good but not so big you could eat no more, just right. The meat dishes were made up of three choices and i had pheasant and pepper stew whilst my husband and my son had fillet of pork in red wine suace. The sides were green salad and potates roasted with home made fried potatoes. I had a lovely portion of cheese for desert, the boys had a desert of crumbles ameretto with marinated cherries and cream we had two bottles of wine, one water, coffee and three glasses of grappa All for 25 euros a head and we will certainly return again we bought a jar of their wine jelly preserve as it is the perfect relish for any type of cheese it is rate to find good service and good food so far off the beaten track but this lady and her staff have understood quality to price the mains are not huge but the portions are fair and i have given this 5 stars because it is one of the best meals i have had in a while in an agriturismo her waiting staff are so nice and attentive so if you appreciate good food, good wine and great service, please go and in the summer you can eat outside and also appreciate the graces of a fantastic location Thank very much Signora Rosa, you are simply perfect.

Amazing, do not miss this experience worth going out of your way for makes you relax and enjoy life.

We didn't know the place and were not supposed to stop there but it was a bit late last Saturday and we got somewhat hungry. We checked on the GPS the nearest restaurant and in a few minutes we were right there. A young lady welcomed us and said that even if the kitchen was closed and she was organizing the land and feeding the animals she didn't feel like sending us away.The lunch was perfect, we were alone facing the countryside, the vineyard, the olive trees. The weather was nice and sunny and we enjoyed the peace and quietness of the place and the kindness of the staff.

Delicious and rustic local food. We even got picked up from our hotel by the people from Il Refugio, since we didn't want to drink and drive. We had lots of antipasti and then some prime and were very satisfied. Good prices as well!
