The identity of the Strait is splendidly interpreted at the Chiringuito Restaurant, through a cuisine pairing local roots with a modern vision. Land and sea converge under the guidance of the changing seasons, technique, and deep respect for the ingredients. Each course is presented on plates handcrafted by local master potters, who proudly carry forward ancestral wisdom in their art.
Cuisine
Tradition in every dish
Our menu
Quality aligns with the natural rhythms of nature at the Chiringuito. We embrace the Slow Food philosophy, bringing exclusively seasonal ingredients to the table, highlighting treasures such as local tuna, Aspromonte ricotta, and the essence of bergamot. Like a bridge between past and present, our use of modern techniques serves a single purpose: to safeguard the authentic and sustainable flavors of our land.
Chef
Antonio Battaglia
As the Executive Chef of Altafiumara, Antonio Battaglia creates a cuisine with a powerful identity by merging his international experiences with his Calabrian roots. His signature style rests on a delicate balance between Eastern precision - rooted in attention to detail and reverence for ingredients - and the memory of traditional local recipes. This perfect synergy comes alive in his most famous dishes - Calabria Made Sushi Fusion and Homemade Bottarga, now the cornerstones of flavor at the Chiringuito.
Wine Cellar
Prestigious labels
The wine list at the Chiringuito is sourced directly from the exclusive treasures of our Cultural Wine Lounge. The selection celebrates the forgotten historic Calabrian grape varieties, pairing them with excellent Italian and international wines. This pairing becomes the heart of your dining experience, as every wine is chosen to orchestrate a dialogue with the menu.
The spaces
Elegant rooms with a view
The spaces at Lo Sporting welcome you for both lunch and dinner in a dining room that opens onto a terrace overlooking the Strait. A polished yet relaxed setting, where you can enjoy signature cuisine with true spontaneity - as Chef Battaglia puts it, dining should also be a playful experience for the palate.
