Caccuri
08/09/2025: Nestled among the quiet alleys of a small village at the foot of the first Sila hills, this small restaurant—seating just thirty or so—offers a culinary experience that goes far beyond a simple meal. Here, in the heart of Caccuri, Calabrian cuisine is expressed with authenticity and pride, in a warm and sincere atmosphere.
The location is simple and rustic, yet brimming with personality: stone walls, minimalist furnishings, and that sense of genuine hospitality that only family-run businesses can offer. You won't find paper menus on the tables, nor a formal wine list. The daily menu is prominently displayed at the entrance, a sign of a cuisine that changes with the seasons and the availability of local ingredients. Yet, paradoxically, it is precisely this lack of formality that becomes its strength: the owners, with warmth and expertise, guide guests in their choice of dishes, with passion and a deep knowledge of the local area.
The gastronomic offering is a tribute to Calabrian tradition: bold flavors, local ingredients, and dishes steeped in history and memory. While maintaining their rural soul, the dishes are served with a meticulous presentation that hints at gourmet cuisine, without ever being artificial or pretentious. Each dish tells a story—of the Sila, of the family that prepares it, of Calabria as a whole.
In an era where authenticity is often sacrificed for spectacularity, this small restaurant stands out for its consistency and heart. It's a place that doesn't need glitter to shine, because what speaks for itself are the aromas, the flavors, and that sense of belonging that is felt from the first bite.
Highly recommended for those seeking the true soul of Calabrian cuisine, served with pride and love.
24/08/2025: A small, family-run restaurant with seating for about 30. Service is friendly, but sometimes confusing, with one entree arriving after we'd already finished the other. There's no food and wine menu. The appetizer was small but acceptable, the entree lacking: rigatoni was overcooked and the spaghetti sauce tasteless. To top it all off, the bill was too high considering the quality of the food and the average prices in the area. One complete appetizer, two entrees, and a half-liter of house wine totaled €66. All of this was listed only as a handwritten total and without any justification for the prices. Elsewhere, you can eat much better and pay less.
