An authentic culinary journey
THE CUISINE OF PIETRAMARE NATURAL FOOD SOON TO BE IN ROME.
The Soul of Pietramare
Pietramare Natural Food is a journey between sea and land, memory and innovation, simplicity and wonder.
There is a Calabria that speaks softly.
It carries the scent of the sea in the morning, of wild herbs gathered in the forests of the Sila mountains, of warm bread made from ancient grains, and of the wind sweeping along the Ionian coast.
Here, ingredients are alive—respected, valued, and guided with a contemporary sensibility. A place where food becomes culture, connection, and emotion.
The Materiality of Space
A dialogue between space and matter.
Set in a captivating location, where clean, understated design is enriched by the colors, textures, and natural materials of local craftsmanship, Pietramare Natural Food expresses the pure essence of Calabria—rich in culture, history, and tradition—through a contemporary and forward-looking vision.
Here, every detail creates a harmonious connection between place and identity, transforming the space into an authentic experience where elegance, heritage, and innovation coexist naturally.
The table is a place of sharing,
an opportunity for discovery and enrichment.
What matters is not only what is on the plate, but also what is in the hands and in the heart of the people who imagined it, created it, and brought it to life.
For you.
For you.
the TEAM
An important role was played by Raffaele Vitale, both architect and chef, and with the contribution of Carmine Lupia, a renowned botanist and expert in the wild plants and fruits of the Catanzaro area of the Sila, the team at Pietramare Natural Food pursues a culinary philosophy aimed at recovering and promoting the most authentic and forgotten flavors of Calabrian gastronomic culture.
Our Natural Pantry
From the sea, the land, and the garden
The sea offers its daily catch, while the land nurtures carefully selected meats, wild herbs, and vegetables grown in our organic garden.
We follow the gentle rhythm of nature, harvesting what it provides at the right time, without forcing its course: living, essential, and authentic ingredients.
Our role is to listen to them, respect them, and bring them to the table through a contemporary cuisine that remains deeply connected to its roots.
PHILOSOPHY
Between the Gulf of Squillace and the Marchesato area, where fishermen and farmers, boats and ploughs combine... different souls but speaking the same dialect, sharing the same thought, a little bit Calabrese a little bit ancient Greek. Our cuisine is the result of this collaboration, intentionally Calabrese, intentionally modern, absolutely ours. Heart, passion, oil and salt.
