I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina calabrese

29/09/2025: The "Vecchia Guardia" restaurant clearly aspires to a luxury category, but it is light years away from understanding the fundamental needs of its guests. Our dinner experience for four on August 21, 2025, was a complete failure, especially regarding food allergies. Lack of Seriousness about "Gluten Free" We booked specifically because the website guaranteed availability for allergens, including gluten-free. Once seated, the unpleasant surprise: my wife, a celiac, was categorically denied any dish, including a simple slice of grilled meat. The only option was bottled water! This isn't "willingness to accommodate any need," but a clear example of misleading advertising aimed solely at attracting customers. Small Portions and Mediocre Quality The dishes were somewhere between meager and mediocre, with a presentation that was meant to mimic that of a "starred chef," but I'll leave you to imagine... with a quality that was, let's say, mediocre. The small quantity is unacceptable unless supported by an excellence that was totally absent here. The Bill: The Height of Negligence The highlight was the bill. Not only did they add a cover charge to my wife, who, through their negligence, was unable to eat anything, but, even more seriously, they included two dishes that were never served due to a clear oversight in the service. We had to point out the error to the waiter (who crossed out the amounts) and then again to the cashier, where the person in charge had not yet crossed out the missing side dishes, leaving the restaurant at 10:33 PM after the complaint. Disconcerting Service Finally, the service was disconcerting to say the least. The waiters and the lady kept bringing bread and other gluten-containing dishes right in front of my celiac wife. This is a total lack of care and professionalism, especially after being informed of her celiac disease. To describe the experience as "disappointing" is an understatement. It was unacceptable. I hope anyone reading this review will appreciate how carelessly this restaurant handles its promises and the basic needs of its customers.

29/08/2025: We went to this restaurant and had a really great time. The staff was very attentive and friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. The value for money was excellent. We absolutely recommend it! If we ever find ourselves here on vacation, we'll be back! Thank you for the quality of the food and your professionalism!

17/10/2025: It's a slightly older place, but clean and welcoming. I had a delicious porcini mushroom pizza. The staff is friendly and professional.

10/10/2025: The owners are longtime friends. Excellent Calabrian cuisine, and the pizzas are also remarkable. Well worth a visit!

18/09/2025: Thank you, Peppe, for delighting us with your authentic Calabrian dishes on our last evening in your homeland! If you're looking for authentic Calabrian flavors, you can't miss dinner at Uliveto! I recommend the fileja with eggplant and pork ragù; the chicken à la mattone melts in your mouth, and the lamb is incredible! See you soon!

14/09/2025: Thanks, Peppe, for making us feel at home! L'Uliveto is a MUST during our summer vacations in Calabria. We've been eating here for years, and we always love coming back—and we always bring our friends who come to visit. Easy, family atmosphere, delicious traditional food, the true Calabrian flavor: Fileja in all its forms (nduja, eggplant, ragu, white beans, etc.), pipi and potatoes, local meats like chicken and rabbit. What more could you ask for? We'll definitely be back! I recommend the fileja with eggplant.

22/09/2025: Great experience. Aged meats offered.

21/09/2025: Friendly staff, quick service, and truly excellent pizza! Next time I'll order the meat, which was very tempting... I'll definitely be back... and I'd like to point out something that shouldn't be taken for granted: the restrooms are spotless. Congratulations
