Casa Lopez - SAN GIOVANNI IN FIORE

Great food, professional staff and excellent hospitality of the property in a wonderful location.

Welcomed by the wet smell, the evening continued badly in worse. Poor service, kitchen no less! To avoid!!

I had dinner in this beautiful place in the historic center of San Giovanni in Fiore and enjoyed the flavors that are part of the traditional culinary heritage of this part of Calabria. It was a growing of delicacies: meats and cheeses, eggplant rolls, meat fried meatballs, silane potato croquettes, but also potato frittelline tastings, potato and fried peppers...and then because after this well of God it was difficult to go on a taste of “scialatelli” sauce, garnished with sauce! All accompanied by a pink vinello of 8/9 degrees. What to say, Casa Lopez is a must for lovers of traditional flavors!

Excellent osteria in the heart of the sila. Location in old style very beautiful cellar, good and cheap dishes. Recommended!!

Saturday 2 June Dinner in four, route bumpy steep roads and / or closed and finally arrived ... and already begins badly! Three people overlook and everyone asks if we have already ordered and if we know where to sit, smiles of circumstance of the lady the owner? , enthusiasm in the waiter who tells us a photo album that collects episodes of the past and caposala that performs service on weekends and apparently does not know exactly what is available in the kitchen ... and so far...son things that happen! We sit and immediately, the caposala, proposes, by voice and without menu, but we discover then that there were no alternatives, appetizers to the appearance appetizing, succulent and abundant therefore ...we decide to start with appetizers and then decide how to continue and choose IL VINO Cirò Gravello univco true responsible at the end of the post, I explain better. Appetizers are not even well balanced compared to four commensali ...prosciutto 7 pieces and cheese 4 pieces , podolica meat balls 4 pieces , parmigiana 4 pieces , arancinetti di riso crocchette di potato mozzarella in carrozza 1 piece a testa , frittatina di fiori di zucca ...STOP! Obviously not as it had been presented so that we order bleached potatoes and a dish of cheese produced in the appetizers but were a little like the sad drop of sodium . Let's finish with a single piece of sweet tiramisu...minuscolo, a grappa and a bitter silano the fernet was not even if it seems there was . Well € 110 and on the receipt whose photo I cannot post... I try again after written ONLY 4 PASTI at PRICE I FISSO € 85,00 exactly as per head? 1 wine € 25, 00. Of course we prosthete and... with being arrogant and rude comes a “signor” the owner? that emphasizes that the cost comes mainly from the wine, that the sweets and liqueurs were offered otherwise we would have paid even more . I am amazed at the reviews that speak of good welcome, good food and adequate prices...my advice? Never go! PS unfortunately I had to click “a star” but I would have chosen the “no star”
