The Trattoria del Mare da Roberto in Corigliano Scalo could also be called "A casa tua" because you feel a homely and sincere welcome when you cross the threshold.
Shabby furnishings in stark contrast to the Milanese owner of the place with a clear gaze and frank manners, a rough and no-frills welcome from someone who is naturally curious that he has traveled the world and then decided to stop here. Roberto puts you at ease so much that you feel like not even looking at the menu aware of the fact that if you leave it to him you certainly won't regret it. But the menu is there and has an excellent seafood offer, with some land based dishes for those who want to. Fresh ingredients that the young chef Marcello Sassone transforms into succulent dishes. The appetizer proposal of the house includes octopus salad with pumpkin cream, lightly spiced roasted cuttlefish with chickpea puree, roasted octopus tentacles on creamed potatoes, an appetizing cuttlefish ink rice, smoked salmon rose on blood orange and rocket cream.
We eat everything with gusto and then we also taste a very fresh sea urchin, which prepares us for a delicious dish of square spaghetti with clams enriched with mullet roe.
We want to taste it too, just to exaggerate, but we can't get up without one of the amazing desserts that the chef offers us: the classic chocolate cake and the pistachio semifreddo, both delicious and are the splendid setting for this delicious lunch.
