Restaurants in Paestum

Tre Olivi holds a Michelin star and an 86.5-point La Liste ranking inside the Savoy Beach Hotel in Paestum. Chef Oliver Glowig runs two tasting menus and an a la carte option built on Cilento produce from the hotel's own kitchen garden. Hard to book and worth the effort for a serious meal on the southern Italian coast.

Le Trabe holds a Michelin star inside the Capodifiume estate near Paestum, offering two Campanian tasting menus preceded by a guided estate tour and wine cellar aperitif. It is the most complete fine-dining experience in the area, but the format is fixed and booking is hard — secure your table six to eight weeks ahead, especially for summer visits.

Osteria Arbustico holds a Michelin star (2024) and delivers modern Campanian cuisine through a 10-course tasting menu at €€€ — a full price tier below comparable fine-dining options in Paestum. Booking difficulty is high; reserve 3–4 weeks out for weekend dinner. The strongest value case for serious cooking in the area.

Da Nonna Sceppa is a family-run Campanian trattoria in Paestum, in operation since the 1960s and recognised with a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. At a €€ price point with a daily-changing menu of traditional local recipes, it makes the strongest case as a lunch stop near the archaeological site. Easy to book and genuinely rooted in the region — a reliable choice when you want substance over spectacle.
