"Small restaurant on the sea front almost hidden by the large restaurant next door. We were the first to arrive in the evening and it was quiet through the evening. Just as well as the guy serving tables also seemed to be cooking. It was a small menu but we were pushed towards a smaller choice, we were told mussels were not good in September although we have eaten them elsewhere. We asked for house red wine but got rose. We ordered one baked fish and one swordfish. However a plate of marinated swordfish, octopus and potatoes also arrived as a starter which we later realised we were not charged for. It was very good. The roasted fish was OK but the middle was not cooked. Bread was very good. With a bottle of water the bill was 47 euros. Very good value."

"Sono tornato nella mia città natale, Crotone, per un weekend toccata e fuga, con il desiderio di gustare del buon pesce in un posto autentico. Dopo aver consultato diverse recensioni, ho scelto il Piper, e devo dire che è stata una scelta perfetta. Appena entrati, Enzo, il padrone di casa, ci ha accolti con quella cordialità tutta crotonese che ti fa sentire immediatamente a casa. La pasta è rigorosamente fatta a mano, e il menù varia a seconda della giornata: una vera garanzia di freschezza. Quel giorno c’erano i covatelli, la pasta tipica crotonese, preparati magistralmente con sugo di mare. Un piatto che da solo vale la visita. Abbiamo iniziato con un antipasto di mare misto, ricco di bontà e sapori genuini. Ho persino gustato le alici, che di solito non mangio, ma lì le ho apprezzate davvero. Non potevano mancare le “vrasciole” alla crotonese, le classiche polpette fritte: sia di melanzane che di carne, croccanti fuori e morbide dentro. Il tutto accompagnato da un ottimo rosato della zona di Cirò Marina, vino della casa ma di grande qualità. Siamo stati talmente bene che siamo tornati anche la sera: mio figlio (15 mesi) ha avuto subito a disposizione il seggiolone e si è trovato perfettamente a suo agio. Ha voluto di nuovo i covatelli, stavolta al sugo semplice, mentre io e mia moglie abbiamo scelto due spigole freschissime cotte alla perfezione: morbide, delicate, senza eccesso di sale, segno di una lavorazione attenta e rispettosa del pesce. Come antipasto, stavolta, abbiamo optato per formaggi e salumi locali, anch’essi ottimi. I prezzi sono onesti e proporzionati alla qualità dei prodotti e alla generosità delle porzioni: né troppo alti né troppo bassi, semplicemente giusti. Purtroppo torno sempre più di rado a Crotone, ma di una cosa sono certo: il Piper sarà la mia tappa fissa ogni volta che tornerò. Un ristorante autentico, accogliente e legato alle tradizioni, dove si mangia bene e si sta ancora meglio. ⭐ Consigliato a chi cerca: Cucina di mare autentica e abbondante Pasta fresca fatta a mano Accoglienza calorosa e familiare Locale adatto anche ai bambini Prezzi onesti e porzioni generose"

"Abbiamo mangiato a cena in questo ristorante in occasione del nostro 5° anniversario di matrimonio in vacanza a KR su consiglio di un ragazzo che lavora in zona e che ci ha consigliato di assaggiare i piatti di pesce magistralmente preparati in questo tipico ristorante Crotonese sul lungomare. La foto parla da sé, la pasta era strepitosa, il pesce TOP. Grazie di tutto, compresa l'accoglienza del proprietario e del figlio! Alla prossima...torneremo e lo consigliamo a chiunque ami il pesce!"

"Wir waren erst ein wenig verunsichert, weil das Lokal komplett leer war und daher dachten wir erst, es wäre gar nicht geöffnet. Wir sind dann aber trotzdem rein und der Besitzer, der auch gleichzeitig Kellner und Koch in einem ist, hat uns herzlich empfangen. Es ist ein kleines Familienrestaurant. Das Essen war lecker und die Preise sind okay. Der Salat war sehr simpel und lieblos angerichtet aber frisch und trotzdem lecker. Die Präsentation des Essens könnte etwas ansprechender sein, aber das ist ja eigentlich nicht so wichtig wie der Geschmack. Man fühlt sich jedenfalls sehr willkommen und wohl hier. Wir würden wieder kommen."

"Per la nostra seconda serata a Crotone, ci siamo voluti fidare delle ottime recensioni di questo ristorante... Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti! Buono il servizio (se volete cenare dentro è raccomandabile prenotare) e ottima scelta di pesce freschissimo. Il locale è accogliente ed il personale è estremamente cordiale. I punti di forza sono la bontà delle materie prime utilizzate e l'ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.. ritorneremo sicuramente!"
