Bar Trattoria da Zio Pierino In Altomonte

At Trattoria Zio Pierino, hospitality is at home: we arrived late, around 3:00 pm, but they welcomed us with a smile and a phrase that says it all about their spirit: “We certainly won’t let you starve!” And so it was: from that moment on, a real journey into the authentic flavors of Calabrian tradition began. The appetizers were one marvel after another: fragrant frittatine, tasty black tripe, delicate and fragrant elderberry fritters, and of course the legendary pepi cruschi, crunchy and irresistible. Each dish seemed to tell a story, that of home cooking made with love and genuine ingredients. Zio Pierino is not just a trattoria, it is a culinary experience that makes you feel at home, pampered and full (pleasantly full!). Highly recommended for those who want to savor true Calabrian cuisine with the warmth of old-fashioned hospitality.

During a sightseeing tour in internal Calabria, we lingered and at 3pm we stumbled upon Uncle Pierino by chance. Aware of the late hour, we asked if we could still have something to eat. We were resigned to a snack. We were offered a "reinforced" starter. We were served platters of local cheeses and cured meats, crepes, fried elderflowers, hot ricotta, peppercorns, sautéed chicory with peppers, Calabrian tripe and an exquisite tart with local lemon jam. We enjoyed local, genuine and well-cooked food. The rosé wine is also excellent. Excellent value for money. They deserve a dedicated trip.

Great food. Very kind staff. The strawberry and elderflower tart is delicious. We will definitely be back

Found by chance during a trip, even though everything was full they satisfied us with an arranged solution which was however anticipated by telephone and which we accepted. Everything was delicious even though they didn't go too far to get us back on the road, very kind staff, recommended if you are in the area!

Mangiare in questa trattoria è un'autentica esperienza gastronomica calabrese. Innanzitutto si viene accolti con un sorriso e una cordialità che fa sentire subito a casa. I piatti sono abbondanti, saporiti e gustosi. I prodotti sono locali, dai formaggi ai salumi fino all’olio di oliva che valorizza al meglio ogni piatto e ne esalta i sapori autentici. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è davvero sorprendente: per la cura, la quantità e la bontà dei piatti serviti, il conto è più che onesto. In questa trattoria si mangia bene, si spende il giusto e si esce con il sorriso. Consigliatissima

Maria Teresa very professional and exquisitely kind. We were very satisfied with his recommendations. Already with the appetizers alone we were satisfied. We will definitely return to taste the other courses, which we were unable to enjoy.

I was passing through those parts and stopped by chance. It was all very good, excellent value for money

Una trattoria da consigliare dove gustare la tipica cucina calabrese. Buoni i primi ed altrettanto i secondi. Ragazza in sala gentilissima e buon rapporto qualità-prezzo.
