Qafiz.

Tucked into an 18th-century country estate in the rugged Aspromonte landscape, Qafiz occupies a former olive oil mill where historic brick vaults and original metal pulleys frame a decidedly modern culinary stage. Following a major renovation, the kitchen now sits at the heart of the room, allowing diners at the counter-style Chef’s Table to watch the team execute a single, synchronized tasting menu. Chef Nino Rossi’s cooking is a sophisticated subversion of Calabrian stereotypes, leaning heavily on estate-grown herbs and vegetables while highlighting regional meats and seafood. The atmosphere is intimate and earthy, with interiors designed to mirror the greenery outside. For those looking to linger, the property includes a sleek cocktail bar and five boutique guest rooms, making it a self-contained destination for high-altitude gastronomy.
