Pizzeria Costanzo - GIOIOSA MAREA

Very traditional food, great quality and prices.

I 'd heard of this place but only after many visits to the area went on family meal with relatives that lived in the area. We let them order and had a good mix of local antipasto of provola cheeses, home made salami 's and cured meats, olives, with a few delicious side dishes of aubergines (egg plant), pepper caponata, and the local specialty of fried bread for good measure. This was a meal in itself. We skipped the pasta course as we knew there was plenty more good to arrive. We shared a few pizzas as well as meat dishes. The pizza was maybe the best I 'd eaten in the area including the restaurants down on the coast. The oven cooked lamb was superb, great flavour and the local sausage was tasty as well. The quality and quantity if food was awesome. Unfortunately there was plenty left over as we were too stuffed. We focused on eating the meat as we were able to get the pizza 's boxed to-go. A little fresh fruit at the end of the meal blended the palette. This place is off the beaten track but well worth a visit and excellent value for money. As I was leaving the restaurant I vowed never to eat that much again as I write this review I 'm thinking when will my next visit be.

Excellent cuisine and excellent quality, very kind staff and excellent prices

The appetizers are SCREAMING. I have been coming here since I was a child with my parents (once also with my grandparents). It's like saying... an institution! Fried bread and cold cuts like you haven't eaten often in your life! The staff is always friendly and the place is always the same. It is truly a restaurant that tastes like things from home.

è un ristorante /pizzeria situato a pochi km dalla marea gioiosa. abbiamo mangiato una pizza molto buona e un antipasto composto da patate cotte artigianalmente e bruschette eccellenti. il ristorante è ben citato, ma tornerò a confermare o non la qualità.
