Cucina eccezionale proprietario e personale gentilissimi. La terza volta che pranzo in questo locale e ci tornerò sicuramente. Consigliatissimo.

Ottima trattoria, cucina della tradizione calabrese. Consigliatissima

Classica Trattoria di montagna con pietanze adeguate al luogo . Pappardelle al cinghiale o misto di carni o fagioli con le cotiche , basta , andate a provarle . Simpatia dei proprietari a parte

Ci sono stato per un pranzo domenicale. Dall'esterno è difficile trovare l'entrata però una volta entrati il locale è accogliente. Il punto di forza è sicuramente il cibo che arriva a volontà ed è ottimo sotto ogni punto di vista. Il personale è molto cordiale e disponibile.

Personale e propietario al top, simpatia e disponibilità incredibili, cibo buonissimo, ambiente confortevole.professionalitá impeccabile.

Location di montagna curata con personale molto gentile e disponibile. Cibo veramente buono a partire dagli antipasti tutti caserecci, per continuare poi con maccheroni con agnello, pappardelle al cinghiale e fettuccine ai funghi... Ovviamente non poteva mancare agnello e conghiale come secondo... Provare per credere.
