Trattoria Il Paesello In Cosenza

Hidden treasures and manifest tradition We went to this restaurant with friends after reading excellent reviews and to taste the scialatielli with nduja and liquorice, praised by several friends. Where the fantasies of the people of Cosenza say that Alaric's treasure is buried, the treasure of the Calabrian culinary tradition is instead revealed, and the maps to get to the chest are transformed into simple menus and the stages in a virtual tour of cellars that produce generous vines like gaglioppo and magliocco.....and the virtual tour becomes a real stop by choosing a delicious Magliocco from the Donnici area. Obviously we choose both the nduja and liquorice scialatielli which live up to their fame, with that mix of sweet and spicy blended in the meat sauce and the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and aubergines (atypical, but effective duo). We continue with a decent village scallop and then arrive at a mbracchiuse potato and grilled lamb (tasty, but perhaps a little overgrown)... this is also decent. The place is a bit small and since it is always full (because the quality/price ratio is good), it is slightly noisy. Definitely worth returning.

Compliments to the cook Elena, excellent quality... But Fernando, with his friendliness and experience, also makes you feel at home... I am also a restaurateur, the work is not easy but it makes us proud to see empty plates... I assure you that if you come here you eat hearty dishes and they are of excellent quality... Well done 💛❤️

I happened upon it by chance a few evenings ago and it was a unique experience. Special flavors never tried before... very high quality and low prices. The next evening I booked again and was still amazed. Honestly, I have never eaten so well. If I return to Cosenza, my presence will be guaranteed. It is clear that behind every dish there is love and passion.

Absolutely delicious food, service top at any time.
