Le vie del gusto — Restaurant in Reggio Calabria

Owner came to me and explained that they do not have menu, because it is changing according to fresh ingredients and all meals are prepared at the moment and that he would recommend me calabrase antipasto, then as primo choice from three pasta (i chose tagliatelle with mushrooms) and as second we agreed that we will see afterwards. (It seemed that he was relieved that i understand italian :)) I also ordered glass of house wine, which turned out to be (i think) two glasses...antipasto...well first plate with olives, cheese and some prosciutto...but then they brought another with zucchini, some fried potato something, sauce from onion, cabbage..i cannot even remember...and everything very tasty! but then they brought another plate! this second plate reminded me of czech cuisine very much...ufufu i was full and still one meal in front of me. Pasta was amazing, roasted almonds were very nice addition....i liked this pasta soo much...my biggest regret is, i was so full i could not order secondo or even dolce :( i just had amaro (i did not understand clearly, it was either one that own Owner was soo frinedly and warm,asking if everything is ok....

If you have limited time in Reggio Calabria and need to find that one restaurant to sample some of the best local fares, Le vie del Gusto is definitely a must try.

This family-owned venue with friendly servers off not only offer a la carte options packed with traditional local flavors, but also fixed menu choices for those who want to try them all. And what a feast that is! From the mouthwatering antipasto to the delicious homemade primi and cooked to perfection secondi, nothing disappoints. Did I say the portions are generous too?

As one of the two tourists eating in this locals-centric place, I feel a bit guilty for writing this review for fear that it might be bombarded with out-of-towners like myself if the words are out. But what the heck, someone's got to spill the beans. Please don't hate me Calabrese. I just...

My parents and I have eaten in fancy Restaurants in Venice, Rome, Florence, Taormina, and other Italian cities. Still, we had never eaten food as delicious as in Le vie del gusto. We kept ordering and ordering because we just had to try everything. Every ingredient feels as fresh as it is (they have no menu, everything their kitchen offers is locally grown), and it results in the most fantastic homemade meal we have ever had. We ate a meal which could have been for 20 people, and we couldn’t stop. We even had dessert (their homemade sorbet is really good). The servers are the NICEST people ever. They made us laugh so much, and even taught us some key Italian words. Lovely place and lovely people...and the best food. I would go out of my way to eat here again if I ever have the opportunity to be in the area. Thank...
