Da Pippo In Scilla

I have to be honest...we had read some very negative reviews complaining about the fish not being fresh enough, but luckily we trusted the inviting aroma that could be felt even outside the restaurant, strolling along the Scilla seafront. I'm starting to think the bad reviews were written purely out of spite, and I'm truly sorry because our experience was anything but negative. The restaurant is family-run, and we were warmly welcomed. It's a simple atmosphere, but the food tells a story of passion, hard work, and dedication. The fish is incredibly fresh and local. We had a seafood appetizer that was enough for two, delicious crab ravioli, and the catch of the day. The quality/price ratio is excellent (we paid €35 ​​each), proving that if you know what you're talking about when it comes to restaurants, you don't need frills and extra-luxurious venues. We'd also read about extremely long wait times...we personally arrived at 8:30 PM, so the service was very quick, but I think it's normal and reasonable for places to be crowded during the Ferragosto holiday week; you just need to be a little patient! All in all, a top experience. If we ever have another vacation in Scilla, we'd definitely love to return!

Very friendly staff, super fresh fish in a relaxed atmosphere. Top!

I've been coming to Calabria for many years, but I've never encountered such kindness as in this place. The fish is incredibly fresh! Thanks for the evening, see you soon.

Very good food! Nice and welcoming staff. Would go back any time !

Super fresh fish. The lady's kindness and helpfulness are impeccable. She explains every detail of the dishes and is good at making recommendations. For starters, we had the delicious calamarata, the excellent filei al cartoccio, and the crab ravioli. I highly recommend them. The fried fish is super fresh and delicious. Congratulations, a place I highly recommend.

Very kind, very good prices and abundant dishes. Well done guys.

The location was authentic, very nice, the staff was very welcoming, yet I would still not give it a 5 star rating - the food was nothing wow, we had the seafood fileja but it lacked seasoning, some of the clams were unopened and overall there was a lot of pasta and not that much seafood. We both ordered the same meal so not sure about other items on the menu. Prices were okay so it's worth trying out.

Perfect cuisine, 5-star service, the melon was really big, I recommend it, they are truly exceptional!!!

Great food, a wonderful Italian atmosphere, and very friendly owners. A top-notch restaurant. I highly recommend it 🍷🙂

Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent food
