24/09/2025: That's how you like southern Italy. We were there for lunch and only had the appetizer platter. An overwhelming selection, good quality, and extremely affordable. And to top it all off, a truly family-friendly atmosphere – simply perfect.

21/09/2025: Beautiful place, you are close to the sea, the owner very kind and helpful, the dishes excellent, we had a mixed platter and a seafood risotto cooked well, the rice and spaghetti with mussels excellent

04/12/2025: A simply impeccable experience. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a sincere smile and rare attention, which immediately set the tone for the evening. The atmosphere is elegant yet warm, with attention to every detail without being formal. The dishes were a revelation: ultra-fresh ingredients, original yet balanced combinations, and exceptional presentation. The service was very professional, attentive but never intrusive. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and ready to discreetly satisfy every need. The quality/price ratio is also excellent, especially considering the attention to detail and the overall high standard. A place to return to and one I recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for a special dinner. Congratulations.

08/11/2025: Excellent restaurant. Located on a quiet street, yet not difficult to reach. The atmosphere is relaxing, with pleasant jazz music playing at just the right volume. The service is excellent, fast, and courteous. The dishes are very good. I particularly enjoyed the mezze maniche with bacon, potatoes, and provola cheese, and the incredibly tender braised beef. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

25/08/2025: What can I say about this place? I had the pleasure of staying one night in Cosenza and dining at Mostò, chosen on the recommendation of some people I met by chance. It was a truly pleasant experience. Aside from the excellent quality of the food I enjoyed (they accommodated my request, even though it wasn't allowed on the menu), I appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the owner and her employees, who demonstrate a love for their work and a special attention to their customers. The atmosphere is intimate, and you feel perfectly at ease despite the presence of other patrons. It has all the makings of a success, and that's what I sincerely wish for everyone who works with the business.

21/08/2025: A restaurant right in the city center, the staff was welcoming and kind (we felt right at home). We were treated to a very good entree: we had gnocchi (really good, with a delicate and perfectly balanced flavor), roasted cod (delicious), and grilled caciocavallo silano with mushrooms (special, especially if you love cheese). The rosé wine was very good. Very good value for money considering the quality of the ingredients.

As soon as you enter, you're enveloped by inviting aromas and a family atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The quality of the ingredients is evident: every cut is tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with that smoky touch that only a properly prepared grill can provide. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to recommend the best dish for every taste. The side dishes are also excellent, fresh and carefully prepared, as is the selection of wines that pair perfectly with the dishes. A place you'll gladly return to, whether for a dinner with friends or a special evening. Griglieria da Ciccino is proof that when there's passion, it shows in every bite. Highly recommended! 🍖🔥

07/01/2026: La Cantina del Macellaio is a restaurant that captivates in every way. The ambiance is beautiful, meticulously crafted, and incredibly welcoming: you immediately sense a sense of warmth and professionalism. The cleanliness is impeccable, a quality that truly makes a difference and conveys the utmost care and attention to detail. The culinary offering is extensive and well-structured, with a varied selection of dishes of the highest quality. The cuts of meat are excellent, expertly selected, and enhanced by perfect cooking: each course is flavorful, balanced, and satisfying. Everything is truly delicious, the fruit of a cuisine that combines technique, ingredients, and passion. The service deserves a special mention: professional but never cold, attentive, and always available. In particular, sommelier Mimmo is a true added value for the restaurant. He doesn't just recommend a wine, but also takes guests on a sensory journey through listening, expertise, and great sensitivity. Mimmo perfectly embodies the qualities that distinguish an excellent sommelier from the average: a deep knowledge of labels and local areas, the ability to understand the diner's tastes and adapt his advice without ever imposing it, clear and elegant language, capable of explaining even the most technical details with simplicity, and above all, authentic passion, which conveys enthusiasm and enhances every wine and food pairing. Thanks to his suggestions, each dish is enhanced and the overall experience is elevated, transforming a dinner into a true journey of flavors and aromas. La Cantina del Macellaio is not just a restaurant, but a place where quality, hospitality, and professionalism harmoniously blend. Highly recommended for those seeking a complete and high-quality gastronomic experience. 🍷🥩
