A' Taverna In Scalea

Just 8 km from DOMUS CEDRI apartment, the Antica Trattoria A' Taverna in Scalea Vecchia offers an authentic experience rich in typical Calabrian flavours. Located in the heart of the historic village, the suggestive and ancient-style location gives the impression of a dive into the past, among characteristic alleys and a unique atmosphere. The cuisine, simple but excellent, stands out for freshly prepared genuine dishes, such as fusilli with goat sauce and spaghetti with anchovies, both of superior quality. The portions are generous, the starters rich and the prices honest. The staff, kind and welcoming, contribute to making the experience special. To reach the restaurant, it is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and enjoy a walk among the stairways and alleys of the historic center. An unmissable stop for those who want to savor the real Calabria in an atmosphere of times gone by! Reservations are recommended.

Best bruschetta I have ever had

A restaurant located in the heart of the old town! A charming, romantic place with traditional cuisine. Delicious vegetarian dishes, friendly service! Worth a visit!

An enchanting atmosphere! The menu is delicious and with attention to the smallest details: the homemade pasta "stole" my heart... and don't miss the chef's cheesecake! Finally, our compliments to the staff, professional and welcoming. Well done!

Beautiful place, amazing atmosphere and great food.

This place embodies 120% Italy. The ambience, the excellent quality of the food, the service - it couldn't be more authentic. Perfetto!

Terrible experience!! NOT RECOMMENDED!! I spent a romantic evening with my husband and I arrived there for a video seen on #tiktok...... The only thing I liked was the location, very suggestive as it is in the old and historic part of Scalea. We started with a house appetizer, suggested by the staff (photos of which I attach), honestly nothing special. After which we waited 1 hour and a half for a mixed grill which I didn't like at all (I also left 1 of the 3, i.e. the sausage)..... Honestly, I wouldn't go back at all and I wouldn't recommend it. Let me start by saying that in the only functioning room there were only 7 tables.... So not a crowded evening. Last I would add, you can't have dinner for an entire evening with their dog running around continuously under the tables, disturbing (I'm speaking to the dog owner who was with me.... So I LOVE animals) the nearby tables were ALL of the same opinion because of waiting. I'm sorry but it was highly valued and I was enchanted... There is better out there!!!

It was a great discovery!...it is located in the historic center of Scalea which is a little jewel...eat genuine food, all homemade like the food of the past and a truly unique location...very nice waiters and also their mascot Spike...highly recommend

Ottimo posto tipico del posto,molto rustico e bello,cibo fantastico e anche molto abbondante personale stupendo la proprietari rosetta è una persona molto brava. Da me è dallla mia famiglia e super consigliata e indovinate in 9 persone ( compresi 2 bambini) abbiamo speso 160€ Molto consigliato

Conoscere questo meraviglioso location non è per tutti ma ne vale la pena,premetto la mia provenienza da Napoli nota per la sua cucina,direi che esprienza in questo ristorante è una vera concorrenza per i nostri,per iniziare dal posizionamento qualcosa di incantevole nel ritrovarsi in questo tuffo nel passato,dal poi trovare tutto il personale disponibile e con simpatia spontanea,i piatti direi da provarli tutti! A volte ci si ritrova un bel impatto visivo e poi deludente nel palato qui invece e come fare un viaggio visivo e piacevole nel gusto insieme alle pietanze..ne vale la pena e rimani con la voglia di tornarci sempre! P.s rimanete un po' di spazio per non perdersi i deliziosi dolci della casa e i loro cocktail digestivi irreplicabili🍸.. ringrazio tutto lo staff per accoglienza data e come sentirsi a casa❤️
