We ordered a mixed platter and bruschetta. The food was quite good and satisfying. The service was good.

We had a great time. The place is small, with outdoor tables overlooking the main street, which is full of cute cafes and shops, so it's a busy area. We came for a light meal, and despite it being quite busy, they served us promptly, were kind, and attentive to our requests. The platters were well-presented, featuring a variety of high-quality local products; the bergamot honey was amazing. The price was fair: two platters, drinks, and bread for €37.

Such a cozy place with a really warm, friendly staff. They serve local specialties that give the restaurant its own charm. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone looking for an authentic experience. It’s truly on another level compared to a few other restaurants nearby that we also tried.

When in Calabria, you go to Scilla. When in Scilla, you go to Chianalea. And when in Chianalea – it has to be Casa Vela!
The snacks here are just perfect: excellent bruschetta with tuna and anchovies, platters full of local treats like cheeses, local meats, nduja, and the famous Tropea red onion jam. The Aperol Spritz was spot on too.
Tables are set along a charming little street in the old fishing district, which makes it such a lovely spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy an aperitivo. Highly recommended for a quick break with great flavors and atmosphere!

I found it very good, with a distinctive menu and a very good and appetizing tasting menu! A great option since there's not much else nearby. The staff is friendly and courteous (obviously Argentinian 🫶🏻), very quiet, and the cocktails are good.
Of course, I always go back.

The 14-euro platter isn't even worth 5 euros, not including drinks. The focaccia is very good. The staff is so-so.

We had a fantastic stay. The wine bar impresses with its very friendly staff, outstanding service, and a fantastic selection of wines and cocktails – everything tasted amazing!
Breakfast the next morning was also fantastic: delicious cold cuts and very good coffee.
The rooms are decorated with great attention to detail, and the bed was very comfortable – we felt completely at home.
We would definitely come back!

Vriendelijke bediening, en dat is wel een uitzondering in Scilla, waar veel obers nors kunnen reageren. Deze uitbater is een fijne uitzondering.
