Great spot for local food. The ingredients are sourced in house or from the small farms along the perimeter. Pasta was incredible.

Nice place, with possibility to park. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value for money. Generous portions and good quality ingredients. At the start they bring you a pancake and two bruschettas with tomatoes as a welcome, you don't have to order them. There were 2 of us and we had a mixed grill and a steak, tasty and well cooked meat. As a side dish we took fried potatoes and peppers... very good side dish, the potatoes are fresh and not the packaged ones. We will be back for sure.

Restaurant near Lamezia Terme, if you don't know it or they don't show you the way you won't find it. And it's a shame because the food is really good. The strong point, at least as far as I'm concerned, is the meat. Really good and cooked very well. I recommend taking the sirloin with a side of potatoes and fried peppers. I was there again and it confirmed what I had already reviewed. The meat is always amazing and the side dish of fried potatoes is good company, because they are not the frozen ones.

Found this place by chance, at 1.20pm there were still people having lunch. Super recommendedThey bring you a welcome plate with courgette pancake and tomato croutons.We ordered extraordinarily good and plentiful pasta and beans, fresh tagliatelle with spectacular goat sauceFor the second course, lamb chops, huge grilled pork steaks with beans, onion, potatoes and fried peppers. Water, wine, orange juice, coffee 55 euros*a container to take home meat and potatoes*Really plentiful and good dishestraditional Calabrian dishesWe will return again

We’ve visited many times, always for lunch, we have never been disappointed, the restaurant is always busy, full of locals, the portion size is enough for two persons so we have always shared each course.Prices are very competitive, lots of atmosphere because it’s so busy, food is homemade and has always been very tasty.
