Zero-kilometre Calabrian cuisine and seventy-two-hour risen pizza in Girifalco
Read on
The place
In the historic centre of Girifalco, next to the baroque Carlo Pacino fountain and the Chiesa di San Rocco, Cuore & Sapore is a point of reference for authentic Calabrian cuisine. Young Daniel Stranieri has staked his bet on zero-kilometre dining, personally growing vegetables and tomatoes and raising chickens and rabbits on his farm in contrada Campana. The kitchen serves both traditional Calabrian dishes prepared according to mamma Caterina's recipes and contemporary creations. The pizza, the work of maestro Francesco Savaia with a seventy-two-hour rise and baking over olive wood, is another strength of the venue alongside its summer garden.
