La Pergola In Santa caterina dello ionio

31/03/2026: We went for lunch a few days after reopening after the winter break. Only one other table in the dining room was occupied by a couple. Punctual service, an updated wine list, quality ingredients (top-notch peppers and French fries), and sincere cuisine, not grandmother-style but country aunt-style, although the truly remarkable ingredients probably deserve more care and attention in their preparation. In short, high expectations weren't fully met, but the rating was more than met. A well-kept and very characteristic location. The price was fair.

07/01/2026: Family-run trattoria. Everything was excellent. Even the rosé wine. The appetizers and first courses were excellent: trofie with chickpeas and fennel, frizzuli with chickpeas and sausage, and the second course was excellent.
