The story

Le Trabe – Michelin-Starred Contemporary Campanian Cuisine in Paestum, Italy

Le Trabe: A Michelin-Starred Ode to the Land

In the ancient landscape of Paestum, where Greek temples rise from the plains, Le Trabe offers a dining experience deeply rooted in the place itself. The restaurant is part of the Tenuta Capodifiume, a historic estate whose name echoes the Trabe river that has powered the land for centuries—from Benedictine mills to a restored hydroelectric plant.

The philosophy here is one of patience and respect. The kitchen works in rhythm with nature, drawing from a biodynamic garden and a small farm. Produce is seasonal, ingredients are local, and the cooking is a quiet, confident expression of the Campanian terroir. The result is contemporary Campanian cuisine that feels both of the moment and timeless.

Le Trabe has held a Michelin star since 2010, a recognition of its high-quality cooking and its commitment to a sustainable gastronomy. The restaurant’s approach earned it a Michelin Green Star in 2021, celebrating its dedication to environmental responsibility and the preservation of the surrounding ecosystem.

The setting is equally compelling. The estate spans over 90,000 square meters of nature, where the river Trabe weaves through the property. Guests can dine indoors or outside, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Cilento countryside. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, yet welcoming—a place where the history of the land and the craft of the kitchen meet.

Le Trabe is not just a restaurant; it is a promise to the territory, a story of respect and sustainability told through every plate.
