Campi Flegrei and Then Some-Riccio Restaurant - Baia Port (Na)
A pleasant stroll on a windy summer day on the port of Baia...and then I arrived. My reservation was for 1 pm, and I believe that I was quite punctual, if I must say so myself. As I was getting my bearings, I saw her from a distance. Her - Roberta Di Meo - who greeted with a warm handshake and even warmer smile welcoming me to her restaurant- Riccio Restaurant. This was my first time to Riccio, so Di Meo kindly filled me in on the small ristorante's background story. It was then that I learned that she opened the restaurant back in 2016 with her father, Salvatore. Their intention was to share their passion for Campi Flegrei- not just in the cuisine, but in the local wines as well. So slowly over time- and the addition of Chef Agostino Alboretto the restaurant grew and is a favorite spot in the area. Di Meo handed me the wine list- which features local wines as well as national/international offerings. I chose a Falanghina from Contrada Sala...
