Ristorante Barbieri In Altomonte

We chose this hotel restaurant again to celebrate my second daughter's graduation, after the wonderful experience we had two years ago. It felt like returning to a place that always knows how to make important moments special. The friendliness of the owners and staff, their professionalism, and their attention to detail make this place truly unique. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, perfect for a heartfelt celebration; the organization was impeccable in every way. The cuisine deserves special mention: carefully prepared dishes, quality ingredients, and a perfect balance between flavor and presentation. Every course was appreciated by all the guests, a decisive factor in the success of the event. It's rare to find a venue capable of maintaining the same level of excellence over time: here, quality is a testament. A reference point for memorable occasions, which I recommend without hesitation.

What can I say about this place other than one of the most wonderful culinary experiences I've ever had in my life... A location with an incredible view, perfect food, extremely friendly staff, and prices that are within the range of a normal restaurant dinner. I spent an evening here with two colleagues. We had two different "antipasto" dishes, because calling it that is an understatement, and then we had a main pasta dish. My favorite dish was undoubtedly the Peperone Crusco, a typical dish of the city. I will definitely be back.

Ristorante Barbieri is a special place, tied to my family memories: it was my grandfather's favorite place whenever he craved mushrooms, and now I understand why. We started with an appetizer featuring porcini mushrooms, prepared in various ways—roasted, stewed, fried, and breaded—all truly delicious. The fresh pasta with mushrooms for the first course was equally exceptional, fragrant and rich in flavor. The quality was top-notch, with generous portions and more than fair prices. Special mention to Luigi, who pampered us and we chatted for a while. He's truly professional and kind. The shop is also beautiful, where you can buy their own preserves and products in oil. A simple but unforgettable lunch: I'll definitely return every time I pass through Altomonte.

The restaurant enjoys a beautiful view of Altomonte's historic center and the surrounding landscapes. The cuisine is homemade, made with simple, authentic ingredients that are treated with great care and skill. We started off strong with an aperitif of homemade sauces, crusko peppers, and Sila potato chips. The hot appetizers were plentiful and tasty, as was the juniper-infused leg of mutton stew we ordered for our second course. The quality/price ratio is also excellent. Definitely worth a detour!

I was at the restaurant: quality food, excellent service, excellent location.

We are in the presence of one of the true Italian and Calabrian excellences. Enzo Barnieri, a true force of nature, has succeeded in creating a magical place where ancient flavors materialize in modern dishes. The zafarani crischi del Pollino are a unique specialty.

The hotel has a wonderful location overlooking the old town; the excellent restaurant is open to the public and serves excellent local food (mostly home-grown). Everything is superbly managed by Alessandra and her competent staff. Absolutely recommended!

Exceptional location. It's a shame I only stayed for 2 days, but I was reborn!!! I discovered it by chance, and I'm sure it will become a regular stop. The breakfast was impeccable. The hospitality and kindness of the owners and all the staff made the difference. Not to mention the excellent dinner!!! Leonardo was very kind. We'll be back soon!

Authentic flavors and excellent value. We celebrated our wedding at this location. The attention to detail was appreciated by all our guests, and the staff was very kind, hospitable, and qualified. They were ready to satisfy every need. I recommend it to everyone for a relaxing holiday filled with good food. The icing on the cake is the Altomonte setting, a stunning village.

We stayed in this property, which has a slightly retro style, yet is extremely well-maintained and welcoming. The rooms tell stories of times gone by, with authentic details that lend a warm and familiar atmosphere. Making everything even more special is Laura, the owner: a wonderful person, attentive, helpful, and truly passionate about her work. She made us feel at home from the first moment, with small gestures and a rare kindness. Recommended for those seeking a place with soul, far from the coldness of modern hotels.
