28/07/2025: Imagine a tavern in the very center of Longobucco, a village nestled between the peaks of the Sila and the deep gorges of the Sila Greca, in the province of Cosenza. It's neither modern nor pretentious, but rather a place where time seems to have stood still, a haven of ancient stories and flavors. The aroma that greets you is a heady mix of spices, slowly simmering tomato sauce, and the unmistakable aroma of cured meats. The tables and chairs are wooden, sturdy and weathered, with that patina that only time can create. Don't expect fancy tablecloths; simplicity reigns supreme here, perhaps with paper or coarse fabric placemats. The cuisine is the true soul of this tavern, firmly rooted in Sila and Calabrian traditions. The menu is seasonal, dictated by what the land and local farms offer. The pasta is strictly homemade, especially the "maccarruni" (ferretti) served with hearty pork sauces. Meat reigns supreme: lamb, pork, and so on, expertly marinated and cooked over an open fire. Naturally, there's a selection of local Calabrian wines, robust and full-bodied, which pair beautifully with the bold flavors of the cuisine. The prices? Absolutely competitive.
