Hippocampus - COSENZA

What an amazing discovery! I had the pleasure to meet Rino (owner and chef) and he has an incredible talent! The food is exquisite and the service is sublime. I can’t wait to return.

We visited this restaurant on a 3 day working visit to Cosenza. It is one of the few fish restaurants in the city and was excellent. Beautiful sea themed decor, excellent staff ready to advise us as non-Italians on dishes and superb food. We also had the chance to sample local wine of Cosenza- a really fresh, dry white. And a lovely surprise treat at the end of the meal of a lemon sorbet/drink. Highly recommended. Sally and Chris

We were in Cosenza overnight on our way to the heel of the Italian boot. This restaurant had good reviews on TripAdvisor, so we tried it. It was a week night, but we were surprised to be the only people there when we arrived. A few more patrons came in later. The service was fine, and the food was quite good. We shared a nice green salad, then shared two mains spada and risotto pescatore. Both were tasty, but not outstanding. We finished with a pleasant lemon ice. The price with house wine was reasonable.

Small, cozy, of excellent quality, unfortunately none of the first marked on the menu has been available, (I recommend a simple online menu would solve the problem of availability of raw material,) offer you what you have of fresh can go well, but you should indicate a price scissor, at the end the prices of the first proposed were higher than those of the menu...however excellent quality, balanced and sought after flavors, with a good only stacking.

Fresh fish, excellent presentations and really unusual combinations and always guessed. kitchen where you can admire how the fish is treated in the processing phases. excellent desserts of the Neapolitan tradition and interesting wine paper. prices adapted to the offer. very valid the chef who can present and enhance at best every dish. Try.
