Dining for all ages
Meals at Santavenere celebrate Lucanian tradition with a contemporary twist, always flexible for families.
Le Lanterne – Refined dining that recalls the glamour of 1960s Italy, with sea views and an outdoor terrace. Regional recipes reimagined with modern flair.
Gli Ulivi – All-day restaurant nestled among olive and lemon trees. Light Mediterranean lunches by day, transforming into an open-air pizzeria by night.
Il Carrubo – A seafront terrace serving the catch of the day for lunch, and fresh seafood dinners on weekends, paired with sunsets over the bay.

Relax with refreshing drinks or herbal teas in the gardens, sip cocktails made with local flavours, or enjoy sundowners at Il Carrubo with sweeping sea views.
Children’s menus, early dining, and in-room picnics ensure every meal feels easy and enjoyable.

One moment your children are collecting shells on the shore, the next they’re gazing at constellations from the terrace after dinner.
