ristorazione — Marina di Gioiosa Ionica · Calabria
On the Ionian coast of Calabria, in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica, a restaurant carries its promise in its very name: taste as daily work, precise and artisanal. Two culinary souls, one guiding thread — the territory.
In Marina di Gioiosa Ionica, where the Ionian coast opens the landscape toward the sea, L'Officina del Gusto welcomes guests into a setting cared for down to the smallest detail: an elegant dining room, a warm and refined atmosphere, attentive service. A place that presents itself with the same care it brings to every dish it sends to the table.
The ritual begins even before ordering: every table is served a tasting of flavoured oils accompanied by bread, prepared by the chef with different doughs and brought warm to the table. An artisanal gesture that speaks of respect for raw ingredients and sets the tone for the kitchen's character.
In the kitchen, two distinct souls coexist. The dry-aged meat is produced in-house; the fish arrives extremely fresh and takes shape in tasting menus. Ingredients from the Calabrian territory enter every preparation: zafferano di Bivongi (saffron), liquorice, oils sourced locally. The ravioli di stracotto di magatello (braised veal shank ravioli) are its emblem.
