Trattoria U Cascettaru In Catanzaro

08/03/2024: We hadn’t had much luck in Badolato hitting the spots that we had picked out for dinner due to vacation closures but we stumbled upon this place on our sunset tour and the friendly couple that run the place welcomed us into the empty but cozy place. We never had tried this Calabrian flatbread sandwich which these guys have elevated to an even further level with artisanal ingredients in unexpected combinations served with impeccable choices of great local wines. We had a beautiful antipasti with locally sourced meats, cheeses and accompaniments followed by two of the pitta sandwiches mine with fig jam, tuna and onion my wife’s I think was prosciutto, eggplant and cheese but I may have that wrong. Everything was delicious and most things used in the preparation and antipasti are available for purchase in jars and made by Nonna, we left with a large bag. We closed the place with this lovely couple and drank wine well later than we should of then they led us down the maze of streets to our B&B in the dark, an evening never to be forgotten by a couple who will be very successful in their endeavor highly recommended any time of the day or evening.
