La Casereccia In Castrovillari

05/08/2025: To leave a completely transparent review, I'd like to point out that I've known Carlotta, the host, for many years, but I'd never visited her restaurant. Last night, I was fortunate enough to dine at 'Tre cipolla sul comò' for the first time. I could tell from the name that it was a unique place, but the experience exceeded my expectations. The place is clean (enough to let my nephew run around barefoot!) and decorated with extreme care and originality... down to the smallest details. The food is delicious and inclusive. I have severe dietary restrictions (gluten and lactose), and I didn't feel limited in my choices. The menu caters to everyone. I had fried gnocchi with vegetable fondue, slow-cooked meat, grilled vegetables, and homemade fries. Everything was delicious. The meat was absolutely stellar. My niece, on the other hand, who has traditional tastes, had meatballs with pecorino cheese and tagliatelle with sausage. She also left her plates empty. The prices are competitive and the portions are generous. A restaurant you absolutely must try, offering a variety of experiences: a sensory experience, a dive into Calabrian tradition, a glimpse into culinary innovation, the pleasure of family simplicity, and a sense of inclusion—food, physical, and emotional.

15/07/2025: At this restaurant, we found a great deal of care and passion throughout. The restaurant, which also offers outside seating, is beautifully presented with many thoughtful details. The walls feature several very interesting quotes. The menu offers something for every taste, which the owner explains (upon request) with great passion and a meticulous selection of ingredients. The service was excellent, with reasonable waiting times between courses and a focus on the well-being of diners. If you're passing through Rende, we recommend stopping here for a quality lunch (or dinner).
