We stayed at the Locanda del Povero Enzo and the experience was truly excellent. We started with a special starter, a selection of six courses chosen by the chef, which allowed us to savor authentic and well-balanced flavours. For the first courses, we tried the Pappardelle made with Senatore Cappelli flour and pumpkin fibre, with two different fillings: porcini mushrooms on one side and white truffle on the other, a perfect match. We then tasted the Maccabuoni “Sazizza e Fungi”, a rich and tasty dish, with quality ingredients that enhance tradition. The owner, with great passion, told us the history of the place, making the atmosphere even more special. The staff were friendly and attentive, helping to make the dinner a perfect experience. Excellent cuisine, impeccable service and excellent value for money. A must-try place!

We chose the Locanda del Povero Enzo for a dinner with friends, and from the first moment we were struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the place. The service was impeccable: attentive, kind staff ready to tell the story and philosophy of the cuisine, making the experience even more engaging. We started with an appetizer experience, i.e. six courses chosen by the chef, which allowed us to explore a mix of surprising and well-balanced flavours. Each dish spoke of the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in preparation, making the start of dinner a true gastronomic journey. For the first courses, we opted for two dishes that left us speechless: Pappardelle made with Senatore Cappelli flour and pumpkin fibre, served with two different fillings, one with porcini mushrooms and the other with white truffle. The combination was perfect, with an authentic-tasting pastry and a creamy, enveloping filling. The second first course, the Maccabuoni “Sazizza e Fungi”, was an explosion of flavours, with a perfect balance between the flavor of the sausage and the intensity of the mushrooms. What made the evening even more special was the narration of the owner, who passionately told us the story of poor Enzo, adding a touch of authenticity and tradition to the experience. In summary: excellent cuisine, quality ingredients, impeccable service and an atmosphere that makes you feel at home. All with a truly convenient quality-price ratio. Highly recommended!

Very good restaurant, very welcoming.

I had the pleasure of dining at "L'Antica Locanda dal Povero Enzo" in Cosenza, and I must say it is a little gem. The restaurant, with around thirty seats, offers an intimate and private atmosphere: to enter you need to ring a bell, and the door is opened from inside, a touch that immediately conveys attention to hospitality. One of the peculiarities is the grill with exposed embers, which creates a unique visual experience without invading the room with odors or fumes. The staff is professional and attentive to the needs of each customer, a quality that makes you feel immediately welcomed and pampered. The cuisine is excellent, with the highest quality raw materials processed to perfection. For this dinner we chose the tasting menu: appetizer, a first course chosen from two options, two second courses to share, cheeses, dessert and wine. A truly rich and complete journey at a more than honest price, especially considering the quality of the dishes. If I were to look for the classic "nitpick," the only note would be the temperature of the cut, but it is truly a small thing compared to the overall culinary experience. Definitely a restaurant worth returning to, perhaps to try the other courses on the menu, which includes also a fish proposal.

Un ristorante che mi è piaciuto! Piatti non banali, anche se leggermente "minimal" Locale piccolo e accogliente. Ottimo l'uovo e carne veramente saporita e soprattutto cotta bene. I prezzi li reputo onestissimi.
