Borgo Antico
About
Borgo Antico is a charming, family‑run restaurant tucked into the historic heart of the Junno district in Monte Sant’Angelo. The venue dates back to the 1100s, with three rooms, two of which sit inside authentic Norman caves that echo the medieval past of the town. Visitors can enjoy a quiet, atmospheric meal under cool stone walls illuminated by soft, chromotherapy lights, while the kitchen outside keeps the aroma of a traditional wood‑fired oven alive. The menu is a celebration of Garganica’s culinary heritage: fresh seafood, hearty land dishes, and a signature selection of Neapolitan‑style pizzas baked to perfection. The wood‑fired oven, a prized centerpiece, churns out buttery, crispy pizzas topped with locally sourced ingredients, making it the star of the menu. In the summer months the restaurant opens a spacious terrace—LA TERRAZZA DEL SAX—where diners can enjoy the gentle breeze and the scent of the surrounding countryside. During the day, the place also offers a home‑delivery service, with a user‑friendly online menu and a flat‑rate delivery fee of €5. A unique “Il Ristorante a Casa” menu streamlines the ordering experience: each dish is priced at €25, and for orders of four or more menus, customers receive a €10 spending voucher. With its historic ambiance, delectable food, and friendly, attentive staff, Borgo Antico provides a memorable culinary journey through the heart of Calabria’s cultural and gastronomic traditions.
