La Taverna del Buongustaio In Fagnano castello

03/06/2026: A very atmospheric place in the old town of Scalea. The restaurant itself is unique and charming, so it is worth reserving a table in advance, especially during the high season. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable and affordable. The menu is quite small, so guests looking for a wide variety of dishes should keep this in mind. There are no fish dishes on the menu. The selection of drinks is also rather limited, mainly consisting of house wine, water, and a few soft drinks. The house wine has a very young and robust character, which may not suit everyone’s taste, so it is worth considering before ordering. The food is fresh and carefully prepared, although this is more a place to visit for its atmosphere, beautiful location, and cozy evening experience than for fine dining. Overall, we had a pleasant experience. A beautiful spot with the special charm of Scalea’s old town, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices.

02/06/2026: A very charming location, the restaurant is nestled in the heart of an ancient village, among the steps leading to the Norman castle. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, professional, and polite. The wait between courses was a bit long, but it's well known that good food takes time. We were all delighted with the quality and flavor of the dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Scalea.
