Ristorante Vecchio Mulino In Cittanova

An extraordinary experience after a bucolic visit to the refreshing “communal villa” park next door. We opted for specialties based on “stoccafisso” (we would say cod). But what a lovely surprise to discover this historical-culinary adventure. You absolutely have to stop this way.

We stopped in this restaurant by chance and I have to be honest, looking from the outside I would have bet that we would not have eaten well. Once inside, however, the environment was warm and welcoming. The spacious tables and the lady who accompanied us was very kind and competent. Few course menu, absolutely a plus and all or almost all based on stockfish. I didn't think to take photos of the menu or even the dishes, too bad. We split an appetizer in two, stockfish carpaccio with marinated Tropea onion, almonds and other things I don't remember. As second courses we had a grilled stockfish fillet, fantastic, and a sweet and sour stockfish fillet with peppers, very good. We accompanied it with a white wine (Madre Goccia from Tenuta Iuzzolini) which was fragrant and full-bodied enough to handle the stockfish recommended to us by the lady who accompanied us to the table and who we later discovered was the owner and chef of the restaurant. The stockfish fillet was treated very well in all cases, among other things it was very high and had an exceptional consistency, especially as regards the grilled stockfish. Absolutely positive experience, recommended place without a doubt. It is absolutely worth a stop or a few kilometers to reach it. You will be rewarded. Generous but not exaggerated portions and fair quality/cost ratio.

We left Catania by motorbike on June 1st with the intention of visiting something in Calabria and eating Cittanova stockfish, choosing the Vecchio Mulino as our restaurant, a very good choice for us, we ate really well with excellent service and an excellent welcome, we chose everything on the menu based on stockfish from the starter to the second course and everything was cooked to perfection. And then what can I say... the motorcyclist daughter and the father, a great person who I greet and hope to return as soon as possible.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Dishes dedicated to Stocco. Courteous staff, punctual service. Thank you. Price appropriate to the quality!

A restaurant where you can savor tradition, fresh products and excellent service!

Top quality stock. Fair prices. Courtesy and kindness

After reading the reviews, we set off to try this rapier, what can we say? Very good experience, really good stock

Ristorante scelto x caso. Molto gentile la proprietaria. Abbiamo preso antipasto e primo di stocco e una tagliata di carne. Ottimo. Buon prezzo
