Located on Largo Galluppi in the old town, a few steps from the Santa Maria dell'Isola Cathedral. The restaurant occupies a converted stone-walled, vaulted wine cellar and also has an elegant terrace. The menu centers on seafood and reinterprets Calabrian tradition, with dishes such as clam dumplings with roasted cherry tomatoes, langoustine linguine with pistachio pesto, mussel soup with nduja croutons, and sesame tuna. It has a 4.6 rating on TripAdvisor from nearly 1,900 reviews. Many call it the best restaurant in town, and the owner, Pasquale, is warmly welcoming.
