Le Querce Degli Elfi In Catanzaro

Exceptional food, intimate and familiar atmosphere

A charming restaurant near the Catanzaro Biodiversity Park. It offers local dishes made with top-quality ingredients and refined, unconventional flavors. I had lunch with my family on a Sunday, the last day of our vacation in Catanzaro, and even though it was fully booked, they managed to find us a table outside in the shade of a beautiful oak tree, which made it all the more charming. Highly recommended, we'll definitely return if we're in the area again.

If I could, I'd give the atmosphere 10 out of 5 stars ❤️ Local food, everything good, reasonable prices, like being at home. The owner was fully booked but felt sorry for us to go without, so she set up a table outside (just for us!!!!) under the two oak trees. Spectacular. A welcome like this deserves to be rewarded. I highly recommend it. If you like reasonably spicy food, get the Calabrese pasta; it's out of this world.

A welcoming restaurant with friendly and fast service and an excellent selection of appetizers, first courses, and second courses. Recommended.

Entering Le Querce degli Elfi isn't just a dinner out: it's a true leap back in time, to a place where you can breathe the authenticity of Calabria at its most genuine. From the cuisine to the welcome, everything speaks of tradition, warmth, and passion. Each dish is a tribute to Calabrian culture, prepared with authentic ingredients and presented with the love of those who live their land every day. Giacomo and the rest of the team aren't just restaurateurs, they're true hosts: in an instant, they make you feel welcomed, pampered... just like at your grandparents' house, with that care and atmosphere that is increasingly rare today. I don't recommend specific dishes simply because... I've never managed to! I've been three times, and each time the off-menu options were so numerous, always different, and too tempting to miss. Every visit is a new experience, full of authentic flavors and daily surprises. A unique place, where every visit becomes a special memory. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic flavors, tradition, and a heartwarming welcome.
