Trattoria U Cascettaru In Catanzaro

Invited by relatives to taste typical Calabrian cuisine. Splendids sersta. Generous portions (even too much).

Let's just say the place isn't exactly the kind of place I'd choose for an evening out. Too much karaoke, too many people, too many birthday cakes with souvenir photos. Lots of music and a lot of noise (it's hard to talk to other diners). But the food was rave and the wine was excellent (plus the mushroom and potato terrine was excellent). In the end, it's just fine!

Everything was delicious, I don't recommend going on weekends if you don't like loud music, otherwise it was top notch.

Friendly staff and excellent pizza 😋😋😋

Fantastic experience! We dined at this restaurant and were extremely satisfied. The staff was welcoming and professional. All the dishes were delicious, prepared with high-quality ingredients. The value for money was also excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pleasant evening.

Kind and welcoming staff, the owners are two really special guys, excellent quality pizza and meat, we will be back soon

UPDATE: I returned after about 3 years. The location is new and everything's been renovated, bigger and even nicer. The food was delicious. Since it was a quick lunch break from university, we opted for a generous appetizer without a main course. Everything was delicious and delicious. They were also very kind, knowing the limited time we had, to have everything ready for us! I'll definitely be back. OLD REVIEW FROM 3 YEARS AGO: Very nice place, recently renovated. I stopped here for a quick lunch break, and I enjoyed it. The staff is very kind and courteous. We didn't read the menu, but after looking at the daily menu, we ordered a risotto with speck and asparagus and a fruit salad to finish. Very good, but if I had to find a flaw, I found it a bit too salty, which led me to drink more water than usual.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly excellent experience, well-deserved 5 stars! We went for lunch and decided to try a bit of everything: we started with their magnificent antipasto, which was impressive in both quantity and quality. A mix of typical Calabrian dishes, both hot and cold, truly filling and full of authentic flavors. This alone is worth the visit. Next, we had two first courses, both excellent: well-cooked, flavorful, and generously portioned, in perfect trattoria style. To finish, we shared a truly spectacular grilled meat: quality meat, cooked to perfection, and in more than satisfying quantities. A big plus is the service, truly excellent: fast, organized, and always available, even when the place was full. The atmosphere is new, spacious, and very well-kept. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and generous portions. We'll definitely be back, highly recommended!

The restaurant has a refined look, the food is typical Calabrian and you eat very well.

I will definitely be back... Excellent food, friendly and courteous staff and great entertainment.
