Pizzeria Cucina tipica Pasta Pub 1934 — Restaurant in Lamezia Terme

My sisters and I were trying to find a restaurant in Nicastro that served dishes other than pizza. We were extremely lucky to happen on 1934. It seems a little bit out of the centre hub but was a short walk from where we are staying on Nicotera.

To make up for the time, they generously brought out a flatbread taster and a full focaccia bread for free, which was a lovely touch.

Between the three of us, we ordered one pizza and two plates of pasta. While I personally didn't try the pasta, I heard nothing but good things. I had the Buffalata pizza, which was delicious, although I would have preferred a bit more salt. Nevertheless, this is just my personal taste, and the food was still fresh and great overall.
