30/06/2025: There are places that come and go, fashions that pass, venues that open and close. But then there are institutions, fixed points that stand the test of time and remain in people's hearts. And Peppino's pub, active since the 80s, is exactly this: a certainty, a guarantee, a symbol of quality and no-frills hospitality.
Peppino is not just a manager. He is a decent, serious, professional person, who has always carried out his work with humility, without ever getting a big head - a rare thing, especially in an environment where success is often confused with arrogance. Honest prices, accessible to all, and a service that works: fast, smart, friendly. How can I forget Giovanna, a historic waitress, who every year I meet again with her usual smile. Seeing her is like coming home.
And then there is that unique atmosphere, the one that only a place with years of history can have. From 6 pm until late at night, especially in the summer, this pub is a safe haven even in the most desperate moments of nighttime hunger – word of my daughter, who goes out with friends and knows she can always count on that good, fast, and humanely priced sandwich.
Every time I return to Scalea, it is a fixed stop. And every time, it is as if time stops for a moment. Because there are places that are not forgotten. And people like Peppino who make these places unforgettable.
