Emotion Cafe
Tropea, Vibo valentia
02/01/2026: I was with friends for a post-dinner drink, and we chose this place based on past experiences that were neither praise nor infamy.
We arrived at the place and were off to a bad start, with two people smoking inside the covered veranda.
We attempted to order some gins from the long list available on the menu, but they promptly weren't available... After about 4-5 failed attempts at ordering gin, and one attempt at ordering a beer, where none of the 4 on the menu were available, we decided to let the waiter decide, indicating our tastes...
My friends were a little luckier, but I received some real "fuel"...
As long as I live, I will never set foot there again.
Thank you and never again.
27/12/2025: A terrible spritz, all ice in a plastic cup. Paid €8 without a single crisp or appetizer. Outrageous.

08/06/2026: I only had the Franco appetizer because I wasn't very hungry, but it was delicious and very rich in variety! It's for two people and I highly recommend it.

Ristorante Pizzeria Delle Serre

23/10/2025: There were six of us, and we ordered different dishes: some pasta, some pizza, and a cured meats appetizer for everyone. We were very happy, we really had a great time. Highly recommended.

Tribeca
Vibo valentia, Vibo valentia
23/04/2026: Great place with well-made food.
26/12/2025: After asking the owner if it was possible to have another glass of wine, he sat down next to my wife and I, saying, "You want a drink? Let's have a drink then," bringing a bottle of whiskey with him. He stayed there the whole evening, creepy, even charging us for the bottle of whiskey that he drank alone, and making obscene comments about all the women in the room. Never again.

Il Normanno
Mileto, Vibo valentia
17/05/2026: A wonderful experience at this Italian restaurant 🇮🇹
The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm, and the service excellent.
A big thank you to Cristiana for her warm welcome, kindness, and professionalism. She made our day even more enjoyable with her excellent service and smile. I highly recommend this restaurant.
24/04/2026: We returned with my family because we had an excellent culinary experience, and they never disappoint. A must-visit very close to the Sanctuary of Natuzza Evolo. Everything was delicious. The owner, a welcoming and very kind gentleman, is one of the few who still manages to preserve typical Calabrian dishes and traditions. The appetizer was plentiful, and the homemade fileja was truly spectacular. The appetizer and main course were accompanied by plenty of wine and bread, all excellent ingredients, and the price was fair at less than €30 per person. We'll be returning often.

American Bar
Parghelia, Vibo valentia
13/05/2026: An unassuming place, but a pleasant surprise inside.
Good pint, friendly service, good ice cream, and reasonable prices. Plus, there are tables inside and outside, and a park next to it.
Overall, I recommend it, especially since it's also open in the afternoon.
21/04/2026: Excellent bar with reasonable prices (compared to Tropea, where they'll ruin your experience! And it's not worth it!) We went with friends (10 people) and paid €45! I really recommend the artisanal granita! And the brioche is wonderful! Excellent crepes! The truffles are second to none at Callipo in Pizzo Calabro 🔝

Miseria & Nobilta
Parghelia, Vibo valentia
07/06/2026: I ordered two takeout pizzas. The pizzas were good, but I expected more from these reviews.
In my opinion, the dough should be rolled out more; the pizza, although well-cooked, was too bready for my taste. The ingredients were good. One of the pizzas even had a bit of ash from the oven.
It should be noted that when I went, the pizza chef was alone and did everything: managing the wood-fired oven, preparing the pizzas, and adding the toppings after baking. Typically, there are at least two people with this level of skill.
18/05/2026: Delicious pizzas from the award-winning Pizza Queen. Good value for money.

21/05/2026: Absolutely incredible trattoria. Perfect hospitality and food was gorgeous.
19/05/2026: This place made me dream. Nice atmosphere, absolutely average prices—in fact, I'd say low compared to the rest of Italy—and truly good quality food. I would definitely go back.

taverna Antica Grotta
Tropea, Vibo valentia
16/05/2026: The food was the worst we ate in Calabria... small portions, dried out bread...
15/05/2026: Our B&B host recommended this place, and we had a great time with the four of us for supper. The food was delicious, and the private setting away from Main Street added to the experience.
