Typical Calabrian tavern, ancient dishes that never die, service as warm and enveloping as the dishes. Environment that reflects the dishes of the past. The owner and his staff, in addition to being exquisite people, pamper their customers.

Small, almost family place but sublime food service!! One of those places you have to try in your life! You need to book well in advance because places are limited to guarantee the quality of the dishes and the super low prices, 18 for a complete menu. Super generous portions and very fresh raw materials!!Another ride, another ride…We update the photos with the second time we returned and confirm the wonderful culinary experience!!!

Great food, low prices. Quality is excellent, ingredients are local and very well prepared. Owners are very friendly and welcoming, always caring about customers' needs. Definitely recommend a visit, the town is a bit hard to reach because of the road, but the experience (along with the "Valli cupe" Park nearby) is worth it. Booking highly recommended, well in advance.

At the suggestion of friends, we tried to book for the first time but it was all full.It seems like it takes a year to secure a table!The friendly and kind owner, Mario, advised us to call back after a few days and so we were able to have a fantastic Calabrian culinary experience... a stroke of luck!Typical lunch based on excellent quality traditional products, we ate porcini mushrooms and ovoli from starter to main course, a true delicacy... in a family and fun environment... and the bill was a real surprise! Thank you for your kindness and kindness and we hope... see you soon!
