Halal Restaurants & Food in Calabria

Much of the traditional Calabrian food is called cucina povera, or simple peasant food. It is long on comfort and good vegetables and short on fancy frills. Because of the climate, many foods were preserved by salting or packing in Olive oil and this style continues today. If there is a fundamental ingredient to Calabrian cooking, it would be the "peperoncino" (pepper). Calabrian cooking tends toward the spicy thanks to the generous use of various varieties of hot peppers in regional cuisine.In fact, so popular is the peperoncino, that the village of Diamante honors the hot pepper with its own festival.In the first week of September the local residents celebrate the Festival del Peperoncino, dedicated to the unofficial symbol of Calabria: the cayenne pepper. During the festival, one can taste freshly harvested peppers or try locally produced products that make use of the spicy condiment, anything from Pastas to (yes) gelato. Olio Santo, Olive oil infused with hot pepper, is sometimes added to a plate of Pastas to give it a little extra zip. Soppressata (Sopresatta) is a popular, peppery dry Sausages that is typical of the region. Nduja is a very soft, very spicy Sausages that you might not be able to find at home. Look for its dark rust-red color on top of Pizzas, or pair it with good bread for a popular sandwiches. If you want something less spicy and then Capocollo is the local interpretation of ham. Alici ripieni, or stuffed anchovies, is a popular seafood dish. Sardella is produced in some of the towns along the Ionian coast in the province of Cosenza. It is a spicy paste made with Olive oil, mashed baby sardines and hot pepper.If you get a chance, try the mpigliati con le sarde pie as a spicy, salty appetizer to share with a group. Some Neapolitan specialties such as Braciole ("Raciol" in the Calabrian dialect) are common in the region. In summer many dishes are prepared with eggplants. Calabria has its own reddish, rounder eggplant with a mild taste. The favorite onion and the red Tropea, is mild. If you are looking for something sweet, Calabria offers a delightful variety of baked goods.Around holidays, look in pastry shops for a dish made of little bits of honey-glazed, deep-fried dough called pignolata or struffoli. They also make high-quality licorice and if you're devoted to this Candies that is more associated with Nordic regions and then consider a trip to the Giorgio Amarelli Museo della Liquirizia, along the north coast of the Cosenza neighborhood. Calabria is an up-and-coming producer offruit cocktails, with a number of regional soft drinks earning the Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) label from the Italian government.

Stay Safe

Though not as poor as it was in the early part of the last century, Calabria is still one of the least developed regions in Western Europe and so there is crime in the region. The high-profile crime in Calabria that receives the most media attention, at least in Italy, concerns the Mafia, called in Calabria the 'Ndrangheta, but it almost never targets tourists. Road safety is a much greater concern than the Mafia for tourists visiting the region. The SS 106, which runs along the Ionian coast from Reggio Calabria to Taranto, is considered one of the deadliest roads in all of Europe.
