RISTORANTE PIZZERIA DA CIRO In Catanzaro

14/06/2026: For many people with roots in Pianopoli, this hotel is much more than a place to stay. Growing up in an Italian-American family, I heard its name long before I ever stayed here. I remember it as far back as 1976, and for over 50 years it has been part of the story of the town itself and part of the memories of generations of families returning from abroad. When families from Pianopoli gathered in New York, its name often came up in conversation. It became one of those places that everyone seemed to know and remember. During my recent stay, I was reminded not only of the warm hospitality and excellent service, but also of the important place this hotel holds in the life of the community. It represents a chapter of modern Pianopoli that so many people remember and cherish. A special mention goes to the pizza. After years of eating pizza throughout Italy, it is rare to find one that is so light and digestible. Even eating it late in the evening, I slept comfortably and woke up feeling great. It is easy to understand why people return year after year. For me, this was more than a hotel stay. It was a return to family memories, local history, and a place that continues to welcome people with genuine hospitality. A special place with a beautiful story behind it.

10/03/2026: I could say a lot, but it's not the place it once was. I can't forgive the fact that the knives, forks, and glasses were really dirty and unsightly, and I wasn't the only one in the dining room to complain. It's a shame because the food wasn't bad. The pizza is good. The appetizer needs a rethink.
