La Trattoria di Aquino Mauro

A traditional trattoria in the heart of Lorica. We had been to Maura's restaurant over a decade ago and rediscovered the flavors of yesteryear. The quality/price ratio is good. The main courses and roasted porcini mushrooms are highly recommended. The first courses, with fresh pasta, are very tasty, although unfortunately a bit limited. We recommend being more generous with the pasta portions. Homemade desserts of the day. Friendly and helpful staff. Mauro's restaurant is a blend of tradition, authenticity, and authenticity. We absolutely recommend stopping by if you're in the Lorica area. We recommend making a reservation, given the limited number of tables. Try the homemade chili pepper made by friends of Mauro—it's truly special!

A very charming trattoria, discovered by chance. We had lunch outside. Even though we hadn't booked, they set a table for us right away and served shortly thereafter. We had pacchero with pork, roasted porcini mushrooms, and caciocavallo with mushrooms, as well as side dishes, fruit, and desserts. The food was simply spectacular, delicious, made with top-quality local ingredients. The staff was also very welcoming and professional. Highly recommended.

Very friendly welcome. Tasty, simple but carefully prepared food. Fairly priced. Recommended!

September 15, 2024 - We stumbled upon this place by chance after a hike at 2:30 PM. They welcomed us without any problems, along with two dogs, a Pomeranian and a Maremma Sheepdog, and we ate divinely. The restaurant is rustic and quaint, typical of the Lorica region. The waitresses were very kind. Excellent value for money.

A pleasant surprise during our last vacation in Sila. In my opinion, it's one of the few places, if not the only one, where you can eat in Lorica that still retains a healthy and true sense of authenticity. We ended up eating at this fantastic trattoria by chance on a Sunday in August. Everything was excellent, from the service to the dishes. We'll definitely be back. A year later, my opinion of La Trattoria di Aquino Mauro hasn't changed: the quality of the dishes is still top-notch. The flavors of Sila, genuine and authentic, are a sure thing. Highly recommended! A must for anyone visiting Sila and Lorica!

A typical mountain trattoria where you can enjoy a family atmosphere, good local food, and house wine. Very reasonable prices for two appetizers, two first courses, two second courses, water, two glasses of wine, and liqueurs. It's less than €60. Crazy for me, coming from Rome. The food is superior and offers a wide variety. Highly recommended.

A trattoria that cradles the customer through the rediscovery of ancient, authentic, genuine flavors. Their dishes narrate the Calabria of the last century with wise mastery, they manage to seduce every palate without overdoing it with condiments, they retrace the traces of the gastronomy of an archaic yet generous and welcoming south. Very good and humble as only great restaurateurs can be.

Today, during a motorcycle ride in the Sila Mountains, we stopped (thanks to a great recommendation) at Mauro's trattoria. We had a wonderful time, the warm welcome was excellent, and the food was truly authentic and delicious. Highly recommended! Antonella and Ezio

A quaint atmosphere, in the beautiful setting of the Sila Mountains. The food is good, all traditional. I happened upon it one evening when they had fresh porcini mushrooms, delicious. The staff is friendly and efficient.

👍🏻 I happened upon this place by chance on a Tuesday evening in August, apparently the day most restaurants in Lorica close. It's a very cute and traditional place, a true trattoria! The welcome was warm, the waitresses were attentive and professional, and there's a touch of friendliness that never hurts. 🍽 The food was excellent, everything was truly delicious, with authentic and genuine aromas and flavors. A wonderful discovery! 💰 Prices were normal for Calabria (but I could have easily spent a little more given the quality and deliciousness of the dinner). An excellent trattoria, which I highly recommend!

An extremely positive experience at this small and welcoming trattoria. All the dishes were excellent, including superb desserts. The service was attentive, courtesy of three kind and professional women. The place was cute and clean. Highly recommended!
