Lido Mediterraneo In Roccella ionica

17/08/2025: My mom and I stopped here for a quick lunch. The quality of the products is unquestionable, truly excellent. But perhaps we came on the wrong day because the staff didn't follow our instructions. We made it clear, and repeatedly, that we don't eat spicy food. The platter featured spicy salami, and the bruschetta with milk burrata cheese had flakes of spicy nduja on top, along with spicy coppa pancetta. One of the jams was spicy. We mentioned it to the waitress, who said she was sorry; perhaps they hadn't taken our order properly. If someone is allergic, I can't imagine. I was expecting a nice discount at the end, since we left unsatisfied due to a serious oversight, but instead they only deducted one euro from the bill. It's a shame, we won't be back.

16/08/2025: We stopped at Numa Prodotti Tipici today for a quick but satisfying pit stop. The place is very well-kept, with tables both inside and out, in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The staff was kind and welcoming from the start. We chose truly amazing arancini, amazing battered caciocavallo skewers, a well-filled toasted sandwich, and a fresh salad, all accompanied by a craft beer and a glass of Cirò. What can I say... top-notch quality, generous portions, and authentic flavors! I'll be back very soon, because it's one of those places where the quality of the products stays with you.
