21/10/2025: I returned to my hometown, Crotone, for a weekend getaway, longing to enjoy good seafood in an authentic setting. After reading several reviews, I chose Piper, and I must say it was a perfect choice.
As soon as we entered, Enzo, the host, welcomed us with that typical Crotone warmth that makes you feel instantly at home. The pasta is strictly handmade, and the menu varies depending on the day: a true guarantee of freshness.
That day, they offered covatelli, a typical Crotone pasta, masterfully prepared with seafood sauce. A dish worth the visit alone.
We started with a mixed seafood appetizer, rich in goodness and authentic flavors. I even tried anchovies, which I don't usually eat, but I really appreciated them there.
Of course, we couldn't miss the "vrasciole" Crotonese, classic fried meatballs: both eggplant and meat, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
All washed down with an excellent rosé from the Cirò Marina area, a house wine of great quality.
We enjoyed it so much that we returned in the evening: my son (15 months) immediately had access to the high chair and felt completely at ease.
He again asked for the covatelli, this time with a simple sauce, while my wife and I chose two very fresh sea bass, cooked to perfection: soft, delicate, without excessive salt, a sign of careful and respectful preparation of the fish.
For appetizers, this time, we opted for local cheeses and cured meats, which were also excellent.
The prices are fair and proportionate to the quality of the products and the generous portions: not too high or too low, just right.
Unfortunately, I return to Crotone less and less often, but of one thing I am certain: Piper will be my regular stop every time I return.
An authentic, welcoming restaurant rooted in tradition, where you eat well and feel even better.
