Bar Trattoria da Zio Pierino In Altomonte

An honest trattoria in the Altomonte area. If they raised the quality of the macaroni, it could be a really great meeting place. The table service menu would be nice. It's a shame about the paper tablecloths.

A welcoming and authentic place! Traditional Calabrian dishes and friendly staff! Special mention for the garden vegetables!

Lots of kindness and professionalism and above all, authentic, high-quality food. You'll find all the Calabrian tradition, taken care of in every detail!

Family-run. Authentic, simple cuisine. Low prices. Friendly service. Easy parking. A great option for those on the Salerno RC highway who want to stop for lunch.

A pleasant discovery for a pleasant lunch break. A quaint trattoria with a truly tasty traditional menu.

Super traditional Calabrian dishes

Beautiful experience, quality food, family run, very kind, I will gladly return.

Very kind staff, impeccable service and food

For the chestnut festival in San Donato di Ninea, we traveled from Bari and had lunch at Uncle Pierino's in Altomonte. The typical local cuisine was exceptional, to say the least. The family welcome was exquisite. We'll definitely be back.

On our way back from Catanzaro, where my daughter studies, my wife and I decided to visit the Sanctuary of San Francesco di Paola, a place we'd never been before. After the visit, since it was around 1 p.m., I chose a place with good reviews on Google along the way back to Naples, where we'd stop for lunch. After less than an hour of driving through beautiful scenery, we arrived at this bar/restaurant. We didn't have very high expectations, but... we were pleasantly surprised. At the entrance, given the hour, there were only two occupied tables, which were quickly vacated. A chalkboard on the wall listed the dishes and prices, and I was intrigued by the full daily menu for €18 and the house appetizer for €15 (there was a clear disparity, but I later discovered why). A friendly man (I think the owner) took our orders, and since we weren't particularly hungry, we opted for two appetizers and two first courses. After a few minutes, a kind young lady with a charming smile began bringing out so many hot, flavorful, and seasonal dishes that they no longer fit on the large table. EVERYTHING DELICIOUS AND EVERYTHING FINISHED IMMEDIATELY! The problem was the two first courses, which, although delicious, we couldn't finish and could have easily skipped (hand-made pasta, one with porcini mushrooms and one with ragù). My wife couldn't resist ordering a dessert: a pumpkin and walnut tart, and the two of us couldn't finish that either. The price was more than fair, including water, 1/4 cup wine, and 1 coffee: €54. A family-run business (according to the young lady), well-managed, and one I would recommend to anyone in the area. I also reviewed on Trip Advisor. P.S. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of the dishes, but I have the receipt, so I'm attaching just the photo.
