About
Antica Cantina Forentum embodies its commitment to distinctiveness within its very name: a call to savor an unparalleled experience of authentic flavors and genuine hospitality in Basilicata.
The word “ancient” speaks not only to the rich history and traditions of Lucanian land, but also to the restaurant's skillful reinterpretation of these elements. "Cantina" refers to the cozy room, once a 16th-century cave, where Lucia Vizzano and her family began their journey, now transformed into a thriving establishment that celebrates the conscious rediscovery of the region and its unique offerings. Located in Lavello, formerly known as Forentum, the restaurant and boutique hotel occupy a historic residence that exudes stunning beauty on the charming square of this enchanting village in Potenza.
