Vecchio Casale In Santa maria del cedro

A cuisine that has grown over time and is now among the finest gastronomic experiences in the area. The splendid little square serves as the backdrop to delicious dishes, revered by ancient traditions presented in a more modern way. The panciotti with porcini mushrooms is a must-try.

Located in the historic center of Santa Maria, this restaurant offers excellent cuisine and very friendly staff. Recommended.

Very nice and welcoming location. There were two of us for lunch on a weekday in September. We ate very well and spent a fair amount, so we highly recommend this culinary experience.

The food prepared by the chef is meticulously prepared. It tastes incredible, and the quality is evident in the aroma. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind, and they make you feel right at home. The place is very welcoming and well-maintained. If you're looking for a place that blends tradition and innovation, this is the place for you.

A very nice place, attentive and friendly staff, and delicious food! Ideal for those who love traditional Calabrian cuisine and more!

Too few portions and high prices.

Franco's cuisine is the fruit of extensive experience, meticulous research, and a connection to his homeland. Il Vecchio Casale, in the heart of the historic center of Santa Maria del Cedro, is a regular stop on our stays on the Riviera dei Cedri, interpreting its ancient culinary tradition and spirit. The staff is welcoming, the atmosphere evocative. The menu is varied—without being overbearing—and the chef caters to his guests' needs, offering excellent recommendations (I don't eat meat, and I never miss my appointment with the magnificent scialatielli with crusco peppers and cream of Calabrian broccoli). Highly recommended.

A unique place, a beautiful and welcoming location, and friendly, polite, and welcoming staff. We had seafood appetizers, ravioli, and grilled fish, all truly delicious. I definitely recommend it!

Super cute place located in the center of Santa Maria del Cedro, in a pedestrian square. The entire dinner was delicious, the staff were very kind and helpful. The only flaw was the slow service, but it was worth the wait! The cedar truffle is highly recommended (see photo!) 😍

Very nice restaurant, excellent food, highly recommended, excellent local wine. Very friendly staff, definitely worth returning.
