“ Abbiamo passato una gradevole serata in compagnia del proprietario e dei suo collaboratori. Brave persone, locale rustico immerso in un’atmosfera vintage molto rassicurante, quasi familiare. Eravamo tanti ma ci siamo sentiti ascoltati nelle nostre richieste. Buon cibo, buon servizio e buon conto. Grazie per l’ospitalità! ”
“ Osteria tipica e accogliente, personale gentilissimo e cibo tradizionale. Un posto dove le mode non servono perché conta l'autenticità. Da provare ”
“ Personale super accogliente, siamo andati durante il palio dei rioni e la cucina era un po in difficoltà ma non è stato un problema. Ci aspettavamo un prezzo un po più competitivo: 2 menu fissi uno da 22 e uno da 27 con acqua abbiamo pagato 49. Nel complesso simpatici. ”
“ Nell'Osteria Lo Sfizio si assapora il profumo di casa, il personale molto attento ai dettagli, il cibo ottimo e preparato con accuratezza e soprattutto si mangia tipico Calabrese. Sempre se poi non si scelga di gustare delle ottime Pinze. Per me ottimo tutto. ”
