Il Sombrero In Amantea

We were there in the middle of August and had a great meal, but today, December 27th, we were a bit disappointed. The seafood pasta had a bit of sand in it, the tuna steak was overcooked instead of seared, the paccheri with swordfish and eggplant was practically tasteless, and the grilled meat was so-so. Maybe it was just the tiredness of the Christmas holidays...

An unforgettable culinary experience. I had the pleasure of returning to this family-run restaurant and can only confirm what I said a few years ago. The atmosphere is meticulously designed, making you feel at ease. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. The menu is extensive and well-researched. Each course is prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors are balanced in preparation, with a presentation that demonstrates great care, sophistication, and passion for cooking. A wide selection of wines is recommended by Pino, sommelier and owner of the restaurant, who will guide you with expertise and friendliness in choosing wines, creating perfect pairings to enhance every flavor. Excellent value for money. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and refined gastronomic experience or a pizza cooked in one of the two wood-fired ovens, with the added bonus of a direct sea view.

It is always a pleasure to eat there

The food is good, the staff is friendly

Good seafood, very nice location on the beach. Recommended.

Excellent pizza, kind and helpful people, really excellent service. We had a 3-year-old with us and when ordering they asked if they could bring the child's pizza first in less than 5 minutes and it arrived, a gesture that not all places do.

Organized service, but also good pizza

The quality of the ingredients, the ordering of dishes, and the professionalism of the wait staff make this a place worth visiting. All this thanks to Saveria and Pino 🥂

Unfortunately, I happened to be there on a rainy day, so we moved from the outdoor beach to the indoor restaurant. Between wet dishes and customers, they had to start over, with a few small mistakes, but that's understandable. Watch the prices. To be reevaluated in the low season and without unforeseen circumstances.

A very charming place, separated from the beach by only a small road, offering a beautiful sea view. The location is tastefully and simply furnished, and the service was quick and attentive. But the restaurant's strong point is undoubtedly the quality of the food. The fish was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. After an excellent mixed appetizer, we ordered two generous portions of tagliolini allo scoglio (simply delicious), followed by the amberjack, cooked to perfection. Needless to say, it was fresh that day. Bottled wine and a delicious tiramisu rounded off a truly enjoyable dinner. Compliments to the chef and the friendly and accommodating manager. If you're in Amantea or simply passing through and want to spend a pleasant evening with excellent food, this is the place. What more can I say? I absolutely recommend this restaurant!
