L'ormeggio - MONASTERACE

Delicious food great service. The antipasto was very tasty, the swordfish great the chips were amazing. Lovely restaurant with a homely feel. Make sure you book.

This is a regular lunch venue for us. You’re always assured of a warm welcome and a fantastic assortment of fresh fish on the menu. Best of all are the cozze piccante, the mussels in a deliciously spicy sauce. Despite seeing chillies everywhere in Calabria, they seem to be very rarely put to good use in the restaurants. L’Ormeggio puts this right. Diners are served on a delightfully shaded patio there are tables inside but presumably they only get used in mid winter. Will return as often as we can.

L‘ormeggio is located at Monasterace lungomare. They offer a nice terrasse near the beach. The menu is short and presented on a blackboard. The main topic here is seafood, which is prepared fresh and tasty. Unfortunately the mussels might have been more thoroughly washed, we encountered a bit of sand. Otherwise everything was really recommendable. If you look for a cheap pizza, go to other places. If you are looking for fine calabrian seafood, come in.

Per mangiare e` necessario prenotare con qualche giorno di anticipo in alta stagione. Siamo stati accolti con sbrigativa gentilezza e con altrettanta rapidita` sono state prese le ordinazioni. Le pietanze sono state servite in tempi ragionevoli, la qualita` del cibo e` nella media, con prezzi tipici della alta stagione.

Di passaggio a Monasterace (in visita allo splendido museo archeologico di Kaulon) abbiamo pranzato in questo accogliente ristorante di fronte al mare. Pesce freschissimo cucinato in modo perfetto: antipasto di mare e surici alla griglia memorabili! Gentile lo staff e corretto il conto.
