The restaurant is in the modern part of Rende, which is basically a busy sprawling suburb of Cosenza, where there is not much choice of restaurants beyond burger bars and steak houses. We were recommended this restaurant, which specialises in fish and also does pizzas. The food was okay, nothing special, but we were disappointed that the waiter did not offer to change the bottle of wine which (he agreed) was slightly corked. The location is not great - the restaurant is very close to the motorway, though set back from the main road. On the other hand, there don't seem to be better options in the immediate vicinity.

Upon entering this gave the impression of being an upmarket restaurant however our experience was entirely to the contrary. The staff were unfriendly and offhand.The pasta was dried out as was the small amount of sauce which just stuck to the pasta. Some of the pasta was actually crunchy suggesting that it had been cooked previously and reheated. There were only two tasteless tiny marble sized meat balls. One member of our group only had one meatball. Very little was eaten by each person. The next course consisted of two small egg sized rolls of vbeal containing some sort of filling plus a serve of particularly oily potato pieces. For sweets I had a small piece of very dry fig tart without any cream, custard or icecream. After so many lovely meals recently in Sicily and Calabria this meal was a disgrace. I have never before had occasion to write such a damning review of a restaurant. I have had better meals at cheap ordinary cafes and grills. I cannot fi9nd one positive thing to say about the meal which is without the worst restaurant meal I have ever had in my quite long and well travelled life.

Located in an old hamlet, the place evokes what one usually thinks of an Italian diner. Appetisers, entrees and main courses from the Calabrian tradition made with taste and care. Desserts are also very good, the house wine quite good and service very friendly. It's worth a visit! I'm sure you'll enjoy your meal!

We have been to a few restaurants as good as La Perla in southern Italy but they are all ahrotueismi in the hills or places by the sea in Sicilia. La Perla is in the Centro of Cosenza. Great fresh fish. Excellent grilled vegetables and homemade cake. Try the amaro made from bay leaves! OTTIMO PRANZO!

We had lunch here today and it was great! Nice clean seafood restaurant. We had antipasto of the house (combination of lovely fried seafood, salads and rafish). We had the daily pasta with black olives, zucchini flowers and acciughe which was highly tasteful. Chocolate cake, sorbetto al limone and grappa after. Have made reservations again for the next day!

Hostaria de Mendoza is located in Rende picturesque old town.Thr atmosphere is familiar, in all aspects, since the restaurant is managed by a nice lady and his son.The menu is typically local, especially for "country" cuisine: mushrooms, capocollo, caciocavallo cheese and, best of all, black truffle of Calabria. Taste the black truffle in Tagliatelle all'Occhio, together with egg and cream: superb !Wine list is very good, especially for local strong reds.
