This was the best food I had in Calabria! And the waitress was so nice and patient with my limited Italian. They were even willing to prepare a vegetarian pasta dish for my sister that wasnt on the menu. If you want delicious, local food I recommend trying this place!

Best food during our trip in Calabria and certainly the best , friendlest service too! And the only clean bagno so far! The dish of the day tuna with rocket and caramelised onion was absolutely tasty, wow. The lady was extremely friendly and helpful, her biscotti were a real bonus, just what I needed, a perfect treat. Grazie mille!!
