Trattoria Al "Ritrovo" In Carlopoli

22/08/2025: I went back to Calabria for the holidays and never would I have ever thought to find such a cosy and good restaurant!! The ambiance is an italian’s old traditional tavern, which I immediately loved, but revisited to the modern days (for example, they made a beautiful terrace outside to eat and enjoy the hot summer temperatures). The food is really good, and the quantities of the plates are very very copious! I loved the Antipasto, rich of food from the area, like “Anduja”, and delicious chickpeas, beans and parmigiano di melanzana! But what’s more delightful are the Arancini! I asked and they told me they are homemade. I regret not asking for the recipe ahahah My friend took a Panino Inferno and it was huge! He couldn’t finish it, so everyone took a piece and tried it: it’s a 10 out of 10. The bread is made in the pizza’s oven, and the ingredients mix so well together. I don’t really like spicy things but Anduja made me change completely idea. It was the first time trying it and I loved the taste. The service was fast and super excellent. Chef Laura tried all the way to communicate with me even though I only spoke english, and this was very kind of her. Unfortunately I didn’t take any picture because we were too amazed.. but next time we will, for sure! I would highly recommend this restaurant, for foreigners and for locals too. Don’t forget to support small activities like this, and don’t underestimate them, because they will surprise you, just like La Taverna dei 7 Peccato did to me. Grazie mille Laura and the staff, a la prossima! Marter
