Donna Nela In Polistena

A truly unique and unexpected place. The quality and attention to detail of the dishes, the value for money, the friendliness and kindness of the staff... highly recommended!

A surefire way to enjoy simple yet refined dishes in a comfortable setting. Wonderful staff! In summer, the charming courtyard is a must-visit.

Recommended by B&B La Suite, a wonderful surprise. The decor is stunning, colorful, lively, with great music. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food was truly delicious—the starters, main courses, and desserts, practically everything. We absolutely savoured everything. Kudos to the owner for his excellent management. Highly recommended. A simple derata turned into a top-notch gastronomic experience.

Like every year, we return to Donna Nella, our favorite place in Polistena. The location and atmosphere are beautiful, the menu is extensive, featuring local products and excellent wines from other regions, and the wine list is incredible. I also recommend the wine shop, which offers numerous local labels and a wide selection of exceptional spirits. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit.

The atmosphere at the wine bar is very pleasant and relaxing, perfect for a quiet evening with friends or as a couple. The owner is extremely friendly and immediately puts you at ease. The service is impeccable, everyone is extremely kind, and you feel right at home. The quality of the food is always high. It's not the first time I've eaten here, and I can confirm that I've always been satisfied. If I may make a comment, regarding the drunken fillet I tasted last night: I don't think it's necessary to flour it like a veal cutlet. The flour, being separate from the fillet, created a sort of mush that didn't do justice to the quality of the dish, and after a while, that floury taste began to get stale. I'd imagine it simply being glazed with a wine reduction. Otherwise, everything was great, as always. I highly recommend visiting Donna Nela wine bar! See you next time.

A fantastic culinary experience, complemented by a fabulous outdoor setting and impeccable, friendly service. We started with a "donna nela" appetizer accompanied by fried gnocco, followed by two excellent first courses: trofie aioli and pacchero. The second courses were equally delicious: pork rolls stuffed with eggplant and tartare. All washed down with an excellent bottle of red wine. The dessert was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic service for our difficult group today - not all attendees wanting all courses and no one speaking any Italian! Fantastic service, food and wine. Would recommend to anyone visiting this area.

Family atmosphere and excellent food.

I rarely write reviews, I'm sorry that you can only give 5 stars, it deserves more, excellent quality of raw materials, as well as their preparation, excellent value for money, qualified, polite and kind staff, welcoming and well-kept place, prices in line with other restaurants of the same kind and with today's times.
