I Gesaroni In Marina di gioiosa ionica

30/05/2026: A historic building in the heart of the city center now a restaurant and pizzeria. We had an excellent saffron fusillone, creamed to perfection. A fillet carpaccio that melted in the mouth and paired perfectly with the sweetness of the Tropea onion. A tartare and a tagliata steak, both delicate and tender. Special mention for putting the egg on the side of the tartare so I could enjoy it plain. For dessert, a strawberry ice cream, to which the waiter kindly added berries. Impeccable and attentive service!

03/05/2026: A huge restaurant right in the city center, an entire two-story building, offering a variety of dining options. It has many elegant dining rooms, and the tables are large enough to accommodate very large groups. Precisely because it's a well-presented restaurant, we had high expectations. Honestly, as a pizzeria, it was a bit disappointing. The appetizer was meager, and the few small plates served a few at a time weren't enough for everyone, considering there were about fifteen of us. We had asked for mixed fried foods in central baking dishes, but we were served only a few small plates, and there were only fries with sausage and bacon. The portions were meager. So much so that we later mentioned it, and they kindly brought us more small plates of potatoes. The pizza arrived cold for some of us, some had already finished it, and some were still waiting for it. Personally, I didn't like it; it was a bit tough, and the white base was very sparse with toppings. The knives didn't cut well. Those who ordered the sandwiches, however, were happy; they were good. The waiters were friendly. Street parking was very difficult.
