The main cafe on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, open from early morning for espresso and cornetti through to late evening for aperitivi. The coffee is good — as you would expect in the south — and the brioche filled with pistachio cream is a morning ritual for many Crotonesi. In the evenings the bar fills up during the passeggiata and the aperitivo hour, when the local Cirò white wine and plates of local cured meats are served at the outdoor tables.
A reliable place to sit, watch the street, and feel the rhythm of a Calabrian city going about its day.
