Olimpus In Pizzo

Dinner. Located along one of the most beautiful coasts of the Vibo area near the characteristic town of Pizzo Calabro. Housed inside an ancient stone farmhouse completely renovated, just a few steps from the local beach. The ME Restaurant has a large outdoor garden where, in good weather, you can dine on the terrace. The menu for the evening was a six course tasting. Consisting top quality local fresh ingredients, all prepared by Chef Giuseppe Romano. We had pre-drink of a very large Negroni. This is followed by some very tasty Arancini. Once seated at the table, the chef brought out a selection of snacks that completely filled the table. King prawn with bergamot cream cheese. Seaweed wrap with feta and poached mussel. Tempura stuffed courgette flowers prawn with njuda. Alice and courgette bergamot dressing. Sea urchin breaded. Home-made breads. Octopus with smoked mozzarella & cumin sauces. Calamari with Nduja and creamed pumpkin. Black ink pasta with tomatoes & clams. Pan fried fish (similar to parrot fish) sparago with creamed potatoes and spinach. Dessert. Bignet with lemon and fruits of the forest. Everything was cooked to perfection and all served by Chef Giuseppe. It was just like having your own personal chef, which made for an excellent evening dining out in the open air.

My husband and I had a lovely evening at Me. We chose the eight course dinner with wine pairings. Each course was beautifully presented and delicious. The wine pairings completed each course and we loved three of them so much that are looking to buy them in town. Would highly recommend for a special night out.
