In the main street of the city, there is a refined Michelin-starred restaurant, where the cuisine offers all the generosity of the raw materials of the Calabrian territory. The traditional recipes of the region are masterfully revisited by Chef Riccardo, as if ennobled by his culinary know-how.

Noteworthy are raw fish and seafood, fresh homemade pasta, fruit, liquorice and bergamot pastries. Wine cellar of choice. In short, an obligatory gastronomic stopover for those passing through the Ionian coast.
