(Translated by Google) Definitely to try for the freshness of the products and the love in preparing them compliments ... We will return especially to taste the spaghetti with clams as the ones we took there was some sand .... it can happen, we will check the next time while the my scampi with pistachio were really good (Original) Decisamente da provare per la freschezza dei prodotti e l'amore nel prepararli complimenti... Torneremo soprattutto per assaggiare gli spaghetti alle vongole in quanto quelle che abbiamo preso c'era della sabbiolina....può succedere, verificheremo la prossima volta mentre i miei scampi col pistacchio erano veramente ottimi

I went to the restaurant with my friends. The food was not bad but the service was terrible!!!! The waiter was the most impatient, most unfriendly and most impolite waiter I have ever met. Also the receipt didn't match the prices of the food we ordered. We paid over 10€ more (and didn't get an explanation for the extra money we paid)! When I asked for an explanation/ the correct receipt the waiter got more unfriendly and started kind of screaming at me in Italian. I will never go back there!!!! Worst service I have ever had in my life!

Friendly place with tasty dishes made of fresh local ingredients. Beautifully designed interior with a nice atmosphere. Not that busy at lunch time, booking for evenings recommended. UPDATE JULY 2023 Still amazing! 🙂

Awesome restaurant in the old town in Lamezia Terme. Very good value for money considering the menu. I've had the fish salad and the Tuna Steak with Rucula ( tagliata) service and food was very good. I give them 4 star Coz I've asked for a Rare tuna and they bought me something that was more medium well. But still the quality was really good for 15€ juicy and tender. Free digestivo at the end of the meal and not overpriced for the usual 'cover' price which they charge you in Italy.

(Translated by Google) Really great (Original) Veramente ottimo

Went to Merlo Rosso on my first evening in Calabria. It was a wonderful introduction to the area. Great suggestions from a very friendly waiter, marvelous mussels as a first course, and perhaps the best piece of tuna I've had anywhere. All in a small, intimate environment that felt comfortable. I would definitely go there again.

Perfect place for anyone who loves fish & seafood!!!

Very friendly and excellent restaurant. You can tell when the restaurant cares and they did a great job looking after me, including a bottle of their personal oil. Highly recommend.

Best of the best !!!! Delicious food 🐟🐟🐟,very nice stuff 🙏 Big thanks for the 👨‍🍳

The food and service was amazing. I would recommend it to people visiting lamezia.

Excellent food and service

Quite a simple place with a great atmosphere! Food delicious. Staff very gentle and professional. Perfect Prices related to quality. Totally reccomended.

The food was good and the service wad decent as well as the atmosphere. Good choice to eat.

Top restaurant! Food and service are simply amazing!

I went there on a random stop by in Lamezia and it was absolutely worth it. The seafood and fish is fantastic, the service very good, the white wine a dream and the chef is really nice. For primero I had the muscles - really good in a typically Italian way of preparation. It was much more than expected though and would have been sufficient for one person as they serve some bread with it. As secondi I had the bacala which was also really tasty and made in a special way. the chef came over multiple times to ask whether the food is good. very nice place and totally recommended if you visit Lamezia or its surroundings

Honest prices and good food. It’s a great place for dinner in central nicastro. I’ll go back for sure. Probably could do with an extra waiter at peak times, but if you are not in a rush it’s ok to wait.
