La Vecchia Fattoria In Scalea

09/02/2025: A pleasant surprise in the heart of Sila!!! Late morning walk on the Silano plateau and stop for lunch at I Ventura. The place was chosen almost as a bet, attracted by the menu displayed on the street, but the feeling was already good. And indeed, it was a very pleasant surprise! As soon as you enter, you immediately perceive the professionalism of the staff: kind, prepared and well informed about the ingredients and composition of the dishes (which is not so obvious in the area). We ordered two first courses: scialatielli alla pecoraia and tagliatelle with duck. Simply fantastic! Strictly homemade pasta, generous portions and excellent flavours. The quality can be felt throughout, and in fact... obligatory shoe! 😅 Unfortunately, no starters or main courses, but only due to a question of "space" (and not of will!). Final bill: €34.50 for two first courses, a water and two coffees. It may seem slightly high, but given the quantity and above all the quality, absolutely justified. Only note: the location could be improved, but nothing that would affect the dining experience. I will definitely be back!

08/02/2025: Beautiful evening! Typical location with attention to detail. Typical Calabrian and Sila quality food. Outstanding Picanha meat! Value for money in the norm. The waiters were all kind and helpful, especially "Beautiful hair"! Super recommended, we will definitely be back!
