Cantina del Macellaio In Gioiosa ionica

Very tasty meat, delicious skewers. The place isn't very big, but it's still very nice.

La Cantina del Macellaio is a restaurant that captivates in every way. The ambiance is beautiful, meticulously crafted, and incredibly welcoming: you immediately sense a sense of warmth and professionalism. The cleanliness is impeccable, a quality that truly makes a difference and conveys the utmost care and attention to detail. The culinary offering is extensive and well-structured, with a varied selection of dishes of the highest quality. The cuts of meat are excellent, expertly selected, and enhanced by perfect cooking: each course is flavorful, balanced, and satisfying. Everything is truly delicious, the fruit of a cuisine that combines technique, ingredients, and passion. The service deserves a special mention: professional but never cold, attentive, and always available. In particular, sommelier Mimmo is a true added value for the restaurant. He doesn't just recommend a wine, but also takes guests on a sensory journey through listening, expertise, and great sensitivity. Mimmo perfectly embodies the qualities that distinguish an excellent sommelier from the average: a deep knowledge of labels and local areas, the ability to understand the diner's tastes and adapt his advice without ever imposing it, clear and elegant language, capable of explaining even the most technical details with simplicity, and above all, authentic passion, which conveys enthusiasm and enhances every wine and food pairing. Thanks to his suggestions, each dish is enhanced and the overall experience is elevated, transforming a dinner into a true journey of flavors and aromas. La Cantina del Macellaio is not just a restaurant, but a place where quality, hospitality, and professionalism harmoniously blend. Highly recommended for those seeking a complete and high-quality gastronomic experience. 🍷🥩

Truly an excellent experience! Delicious meat, perfectly cooked, and of the highest quality. It was a special evening for a reunion of four friends, made even more enjoyable by the welcoming atmosphere. Special praise to the manager: the warm welcome and invaluable advice made all the difference in our selection of dishes. Attentive and friendly service. We'll definitely be back, highly recommended! And finally, the quality/price ratio was excellent.

Having heard about the restaurant several times, and being meat lovers, we decided to spend the evening with some friends. A welcoming location, impeccable service, and superb meat. It's worth noting how the manager was able to guide us step by step through the selection of meats and the matching wine. Unbeatable value for money. I'll be back soon.

Charming atmosphere, competent service, and a selection of meats. The menus offer a variety of meats. We chose the five-course menu featuring different types of meat, all very well cooked. The appetizers, cheeses, and cured meats were plentiful and of good quality. The service was competent and professional. Kudos to the owner, who, in addition to being a skilled butcher (the butcher's shop is located upstairs), is also an excellent cook. What can I say? I'll gladly return.

Delicious, top-quality cold cuts. This place deserves five stars alone; everything else is A+. Friendly staff. The price is also good.

The appetizer of their own cured meats, cheeses, and chili pepper jam was mind-blowing! The two of us first gorged on a picana and then a rib-eye steak, both from Spanish beef... lust! I truly enjoyed this evening! If you come to Gioiosa, you absolutely must come. Thanks, Cosimo 🙏🏻

Excellent restaurant. Dishes primarily based on high-quality meats. Typical Calabrian dishes. Delicious appetizers.

Upon entering, you're greeted by a truly unparalleled aroma. Any menu choice will leave you speechless and with a full belly. Compliments to the staff, from the dining room to the kitchen, for their excellent professionalism. If you want to eat excellent, quality meat, this is the place to go.
