Absolutely fantastic meal, the best food we ate in Reggio. Myself and partner really enjoyed the full experience. We were recommended wine by the helpful wait staff and it was paired perfectly with our food. Could not recommend the restaurant highly enough, a must if you're in Reggio.

Great food - meat only, so vegans better choose a different spot! Pls ask to see the wine cellar, very cool experience! Do I have to say that you should definitely taste the ‘Fiorentina’ the T-bone steak. Absolutely amazing

Great dinner in Riomaggiore! Ordered the beef tartare which was tasty, the special beef ravioli in Bolognese sauce which was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in the region and ended with a creme brulee (which was super smooth creamy). Can't complain about the food at all!Cost for one entree, two mains, two desserts and a beer was 70 euro which is about what I expected to pay.Reservations are a must as it books out every night.

Located only 5 minutes from the main pedestrian street of Corso Garibaldi in Reggio Calabria. It is worth finding your way to this smaller neighborhood restaurant. We were greeted warmly by the staff who went out of their way to help English speaking customers when everyone else were locals. There is an English menu. This place offers both pastas and meat dishes. Portion size was generous. Food quality was high and served very hot. Authentic local flavors. A great selection. Not unreasonable prices. A half litre of the house wine only 6 euros. Pasta dishes were 10 - 14 euros. Nicely decorated place. If you want to eat authentic food like the locals, in a friendly atmosphere, this is a must try place! Edit: came back a second night - ask for the molten pistacchio cake for dessert!!!!!

Tasty pasta, very „meaty” place, be prepared to see limited vegetarian options.Pasta is great, of course, every dish is rich, wine selection is very good.

Steak was awesome. Cheese and Nduja fondue was also excellent

Francesco is a welcoming host who managed to fit us in on a packed Saturday night. Delicious meats (we tried the Tartare, the Tataki and the grilled steak - all were delicious) we also tried the Nduja pasta and the Cantina pasta. Both incredible. Well worth a visit.
