I entered La Villeggiante da Ciccino with my girlfriend and her family and immediately knew it wouldn't be just any dinner.
You don't come here for fashion or curiosity, but for the certainty of eating well in a true family trattoria where tradition isn't a memory but a daily practice.
The atmosphere is just right: authentic, well-prepared without ostentation.
You sit down and feel like a guest, not a customer.
Around me, families, young people, elderly people, children—a clear sign that this is a place lived by the city, not built for show.
We started with a carefully selected platter of cured meats and cheeses.
Tasty yet balanced capicollo.
Creamy and clean sheep's milk ricotta.
Smoked scamorza with real character.
Nothing is put there by chance; everything has a meaning.
The dish that definitely convinced me was the paccheri with porcini mushrooms and Calabrian sausage.
The pasta was clearly of high quality, perfectly cooked.
The sauce was balanced, never heavy.
The sausage has character but isn't overpowering.
The porcini mushrooms are treated with care. Recognizable, fragrant, and present with respect
It's a dish that works because the person preparing it knows exactly what they're doing and, above all, what not to do.
The other dishes at the table followed the same line.
Simple and centered scialatielli with porcini mushrooms.
Mixed grill cooked to perfection, without burning or compromising.
A silent technique that needs no explanation.
The service is fast, human, and precise.
The tables are well spaced.
We talk, we eat, and we take our time.
The quality-price ratio is honest, a rare thing these days.
You pay and feel it was fair.
This isn't a trattoria for show.
It's a place you go to when you want to remember what it means to eat with dignity.
For those who live in Reggio Calabria, it's a must.
For those coming from out of town, it's a lesson.
La Villeggiante da Ciccino isn't a suggestion.
It's a certainty.
You come back again and again because here, quality isn't an event but a daily rule.
