Da Ercole In Crotone

The restaurant is located on the Crotone seafront, a perfect location. Mr. Ercole is an exceptional host. We ate a wealth of local raw delicacies that I'd never tasted before, truly delicious. The raw ingredients were exceptional.

Quality and generosity…even for my four-legged friend, and a few extra cuddles for the baby at the table. Professional and very attentive staff. The owner?!…a true host, he gave us a cookbook and an octopus salad to take back to our camper, keeping the memory of Ercole's cuisine alive. A place where people's hard work and the value of a handshake are appreciated.

An unforgettable experience in Crotone! Da Ercole is more than just a restaurant, it's a true journey through Calabrian seafood tradition. The fish is incredibly fresh, expertly cooked, and served with attention to every detail. The staff is welcoming and helpful, always ready to recommend the best dishes of the day. Don't miss the famous "Barca di Nettuno" (Neptune's Boat) and the Carbonara Pythagoras, both surprising and unique. The prices are in line with the exceptional quality. I'll definitely be back: it truly deserves its Michelin star!

Fantastic experience, top-quality ingredients expertly prepared and plated... Ercole, the owner, is an exquisite, welcoming and courteous person, as are all the staff... I highly recommend it... if you're in the area, go to Ercole, it's a guarantee... SUPERLATIVE

Excellent.....the best restaurant in Crotone

We went to this restaurant for dinner. It was a very elegant place, with excellent food and knowledgeable staff. Ercole was able to advise us on everything from appetizers to dessert. The local wine was excellent. The prices are high, but the portions and quality are equally high. The spaghetti, "tradition and innovation," were a standout. The raw shrimp melted in your mouth. All in all, a wonderful discovery. We'll definitely be back. Congratulations!

What can I say? This is our fourth time back at Ercole, and this time we also brought my family from Bologna. We had to have them try the restaurant's must-haves: the seafood carbonara (two with shrimp and three with the summer twist with sea urchins) and the pistachio-crusted tuna. A true delicacy. All accompanied by two excellent bottles of local wines. For a sweet finish, we tried the sorbet, the millefeuille with Chantilly cream, and the cassata without candied fruit (which I personally preferred). Equally noteworthy was the kindness of the waiter and the presence of Ercole, who always made sure to personally check in during dinner to make sure everything was going well! The bill came to €86 per person, a happy expense considering the way we were treated. See you soon!

Great restaurant with excellent food and service.

Ottimo ristorante a Crotone; locali comfortevoli ed eleganti, personale attento, cordiale ed efficiente. Tutte le portate di pesce provate, dagli antipasti, i primi, i sedondi e le fritture davvero molto buoni e freschi. Menzione per i tagliolini con i ricci ed anemone, superlativi. Vini all’altezza. Rapporto qualità/prezzo assolutamente buono, considerata la qualità di cibi.

Abbiamo cenato in questo ristorante segnalatoci da amici del posto. Il sig. Ercole ci ha consigliato cosa scegliere del ricco menù, i piatti erano tutti molto interessanti e all'assaggio assolutamente all'altezza delle aspettative. Bella cucina, bella accoglienza e riguardo vs il cliente con una nota di simpatia.
