I returned to my hometown, Crotone, for a weekend getaway, longing to enjoy good seafood in an authentic setting. After reading several reviews, I chose Piper, and I must say it was a perfect choice. As soon as we entered, Enzo, the host, welcomed us with that typical Crotone warmth that makes you feel instantly at home. The pasta is strictly handmade, and the menu varies depending on the day: a true guarantee of freshness. That day, they offered covatelli, a typical Crotone pasta, masterfully prepared with seafood sauce. A dish worth the visit alone. We started with a mixed seafood appetizer, rich in goodness and authentic flavors. I even tried anchovies, which I don 't usually eat, but I really appreciated them there. Of course, we couldn 't miss the vrasciole Crotonese, classic fried meatballs: both eggplant and meat, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All washed down with an excellent rosé from the Cirò Marina area, a house wine of great quality. We enjoyed it so much that we returned in the evening: my son (15 months) immediately had access to the high chair and felt completely at ease. He again asked for the covatelli, this time with a simple sauce, while my wife and I chose two very fresh sea bass, cooked to perfection: soft, delicate, without excessive salt, a sign of careful and respectful preparation of the fish. For appetizers, this time, we opted for local cheeses and cured meats, which were also excellent. The prices are fair and proportionate to the quality of the products and the generous portions: not too high or too low, just right. Unfortunately, I return to Crotone less and less often, but of one thing I am certain: Piper will be my regular stop every time I return. An authentic, welcoming restaurant rooted in tradition, where you eat well and feel even better.

A simple, welcoming place. The food was prepared by the owner, along with a long list of excellent appetizers and good wine. Since one of the guests couldn't drink alcohol, they easily provided us with non-alcoholic beer. The price was very fair. Well done!! If I ever return to Crotone, I'll definitely be back!
A unique dining experience in Calabria that I highly recommend! Since we arrived at 7:30 p.m., there were no other guests yet. Don't let that put you off. Upon request, we received a freshly prepared mixed salad, which was complemented by several excellent antipasti prepared by the chef. Our request for pasta with some fish was served in a large pan and was delicious. The wine was excellent, and everything was very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the very authentic Italian restaurant with excellent ingredients and skillful preparation. Thank you so much, it was great!
We ate very well at a reasonable price. The service was fast and friendly.
A very nice time in this restaurant, the boss took things in hand all by himself and everything was super good even if he improvised vegetarian dishes!! Excellent meeting
