We had the most amazing meal here in Sotto Sopra in Ciro’ Marina. Chef Giovanni is a natural at his craft!

Cena deliziosa con una gustosa paella e una frittura che si scioglieva in bocca, cotta al punto giusto. Tutto con pesce freschissimo accompagnato da belle canzoni e buon vino. Per due come noi che proveniamo da un paese di pescatori non è facile mangiare buon pesce fuori casa . Posticino tranquillo e prezzi onesti con il simpatico e professionale cameriere Simone. Grazie e saluti a tutti.

Ospitali come fossimo di famiglia, ottimo cibo, prezzi onestissimi e locale accogliente. Prima di ordinare ci è anche stato offerto un antipasto di sardella da gustare col pane nell’attesa. Consigliatissimo.

Andrea Convertino

Locale che mi ha sorpreso positivamente. Ogni piatto servito ha un sapore eccezionale, che sia carne o pesce. Dall'antipasto fino al dolce tutto ciò che viene servito è da gustare e soddisfa pienamente il palato. Da provare è sicuramente la bufalina: una carne non molta conosciuta, ma se viene cotta bene come in questo luogo, vi lascerà sorpresi. Ogni sera ad accompagnare i clienti sono presenti alcuni artisti che cantano classici della musica italiana. Inoltre, se avete voglia di karaoke, potete chiedere di cantare e aggiungere un po' di divertimento alla serata. Infine, devo lasciare una nota positiva al personale che è molto competente, ma allo stesso tempo formato da persone deliziose. Se soggiornare a Cirò Marina o dintorni, non potete non provare questo locale!
