Porcavacca Trattoria Braceria In Catanzaro

We had a truly delicious meal here. Friendly service and a very pleasant atmosphere. You don't even notice you're in a busy neighborhood.

Very pleasant and welcoming place! The owner and staff are professional and friendly. Excellent food! Recommended!!! ☺️

Last night, my family and I discovered a place that's truly surprising: a restaurant where meat is the star, but where vegetarians—like me—feel fully welcomed, respected, and satisfied. Not just on a culinary level, but also emotionally. In a world where vegetarian menus often seem like a forced addition, here vegetables are the protagonists. Countless, all seasonal, cooked with imagination and respect. The restaurant doesn't even have a freezer—and it shows. Every dish arrives alive, fresh, and authentic. From the onions presented in various ways to the traditional "pipi e patati" (sautéed potatoes) prepared just like at home (perhaps better). It's Calabrian cuisine that manages to be both traditional and creative. But what makes this place truly special isn't just the food. The outdoor seating is a small green paradise, lovingly tended by a cheerful and kind husband and wife team, who welcome you with a discreet yet heartfelt presence. They've decorated with real plants, soft lighting, and small details that transform a simple Saturday evening into a peaceful experience. And even though the place was packed (sold out), the usual chaos wasn't noticeable: the layout of the space and the shape of the "ruga" (the wrinkle) allow the noise to dissipate, leaving room for intimate conversations and serenity. The staff—young, attentive, and smiling—contributes to the feeling of being "at home." Nothing forced, just a genuine presence. You feel seen. You feel welcomed. And then there's that rare feeling of having treated yourself to something good. Not just something to eat, but something to experience. We'll definitely be back. For the food, of course. But above all for the calm, the care, and the atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find these days. A place where soul and palate meet. Lisa and Pachi

Looking for a restaurant with good meat in a beautiful yet casual setting? This is the place. Friendly staff, fair prices.

Large selection of meat and other dishes. Service and atmosphere are excellent. The prices are a little higher than other places but it's worth it.

Englishya English Academy was here and left very happy and satisfied. Excellent service, excellent ingredients, and Calabrian flavors. We hope to return.

Congratulations, excellent food that respects traditional recipes. It's not the first time we've eaten at your place. We'll definitely be back.

Every time we come to Calabria for vacation, we dine here at least a couple of times. You can enjoy excellent traditional Calabrian cuisine. Prices are in line with the quality. Highly recommended!
