ristorazione — Cariati · Calabria
In Cariati, a village perched on the Ionian coast of Calabria, an artisan bakery keeps alive the ancient rhythm of bread: a family's hands, the flame of a wood-fired oven, and a village that knows where to go when it's hungry.
In the heart of Cariati's historic centre, Antico Forno Minò is a landmark passed down from generation to generation. Family management keeps alive an artisan practice rooted in the Calabrian territory, where each day begins before dawn and the care behind every gesture has remained unchanged over time.
The counter tells the whole story: the pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice), light and crisp, which Cariati's locals call the best in town, and the artisan cornetti (croissants) baked fresh each morning. In summer the bakery extends its day well into the night, when the scent of freshly baked dough accompanies the village's evening strolls.
It is the wood-fired oven that gives the production its character: traditional baking gives the pizza that thin, fragrant crust that industrial recipes cannot replicate. The chosen ingredients follow the tradition of the Calabrian territory, bringing precise, recognisable flavours to every product.
A family art that resists the passing of time, in the heart of a Calabrian village. Discover the full page of Antico Forno Minò.
