La comalpi In Cosenza

03/08/2025: Eating at Cugino isn't just about enjoying local specialties; it's an experience. We arrived at 2:30 PM on an unassuming Friday and were greeted by a large, imposing man, Cesare, who immediately seated us and served us fresh water and bread. Being called "cousins" by a local restaurateur was fun, but being treated as such was truly incredible. We should have grabbed a quick bite on our way to Tropea, but the Calabrian hospitality prevailed, and we arose at 4:00 PM after appetizers, a first course, a second course, a side dish, dessert, coffee, and a liqueur. In a world of frenetic life, this little corner of paradise brought us back to tranquility and the pleasure of enjoying a meal, with the cool breeze and local passersby greeting other diners seated at the outdoor tables. Cesare is a lover of cooking "the way it used to be," with kind and helpful manners, never lacking in professionalism and friendliness, and accommodating our every request. The food was superb, we'll return to Calabria just to have lunch with our new cousin! Thank you and see you soon!

06/07/2025: Thanks to the great "cousin" Cesare we were able to taste typical Calabrese dishes, excellent quality food. Excellent welcome and we will definitely return. Thanks from the Apulian "cousins" 💪😉
