Cordon Bleu Fratelli Lanza In Reggio di calabria

street level restaurant on the main street with large outdoor area, upper floor where you can have lunch/dinner, ground floor bar service, pastry shop and rotisserie. the dishes are so-so, they don't make you remember but they don't displease you either. a waiter forced to do binsaltinmortals to serve take command clear the table clean. long waiting times are inevitably affected and the service is unfortunately a little approximate. good will, education and kindness are there too, will they be enough to compensate for the negative aspects? ni.. Sin

A certainty if you want to bee, a certainty if you want to buy a panettone, a certainty if you are looking for pastries. I've been going there for years and have never found any faults, Cordon Bleu super!!!

Excellent meatballs with sauce, pleasant service, good coffee.

The aperitif is exquisite and rich. Wide choice of first and second courses, side dishes, rotisserie. The mushroom arancini are excellent.

Se vai al Cordon non sbagli mai

Quello che ho consumato era molto buonu

Welcoming environment, qualified staff and quality products.

Always a staple in Reggio. Excellent products and really friendly, polite and quick staff.

Cordon Bleu eat in 1976 is what I imagine when I think of Italian cafe bars. Reading the mixed reviews online, the decor apparently hasn’t altered in 20 years. I actually hope it hasn’t altered in 49 years and doesn’t alter for another 20 years. The styling is beautiful and the dining atmosphere is relaxed whilst also feeling somewhat elegant. The interior is air conditioned too, we have sat on the terrace on a couple of occasions but the interior is also a great place to people watch from when it’s ridiculously hot during the day. The layout of the food in the counter fridges is very well done and the selection is good too. Our Italian is very basic to say the least, but so far all the staff we have encountered have been very patient and most have preferred to speak to us in English. The draw backs… just two really. Firstly, the waiting time to place your order can sometimes be a little longer than most places. This is just because of how hard the waiters are working and it’s usually one person covering all tables. But if you’re enjoying the atmosphere like ourselves and not in a rush, this shouldn’t be an issue. All the service has been smooth from ordering all the to paying. Secondly, the toilets. Not up to the same standards as the rest of the establishment! Whilst not filthy dirty, they are not “clean” and resemble what I’ve seen in Moroccan cafes. The gentleman’s toilet certainly needs a freshen up, a toilet seat, a new flusher and the toilet pan itself needs the 1cm think timescale build up removing. Overall, I highly recommend Cordon Bleu and I wish them continued success in business.

Famoso per la dolce vita reggina, il locale ha uno spazioso dehors coperto e due sale interne collocate su due piani. Offrono meravigliosi cocktails, caffè e tè con pasticceria, aperitivi pantagruelici, e la clientela è perlopiù la bella gioventù locale. Ci siamo fermati una sera per un semplice Spritz pomeridiano, e ritornati la sera successiva per un sontuoso apericena con fantastici stuzzichini della gastronomia locale. Dopo di che non c'è stato bisogno di cenare!
