Molendini In Catanzaro

A 5-star review, well deserved! I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff is knowledgeable and very attentive to customers. Quality, expertise, and courtesy are three key factors that have earned my trust. The pizza is excellent, both in terms of the quality of the dough and its presentation. I ordered a white pizza with four cheeses. I assure you, it was the first time I've ever tasted such a good pizza: light, tasty, and with a refined flavor. Usually, in other places, it's always been pleasant, but the flavor is too strong and strong because of the gorgonzola. This time, the result exceeded my expectations! Congratulations again!

Very nice, modern place, and I really like the style and decor. Located in the heart of Catanzaro Lido, just steps from the seafront, you can have a quiet dinner or an after-dinner cocktail. I really like the marble tables and the marble cutlery holders, which is unique. Unfortunately, I wasn't as happy with the food. The first time I had a sandwich... I had salmon, and my cousin had a hamburger... both were hot on the outside but completely cold on the inside. The salmon was still nice, but not overcooked. The hamburger seemed cooked and reheated several times because it was lukewarm and even a little burned. The second time I went back for the pizza, which was good, but a bit heavy in the dough. I felt full until practically the next day, and even a little bloated. This is not just my opinion, but also that of those who were with me. I came back a third time because I was invited by friends who were celebrating their birthday there, and they told us we couldn't each have a pizza (I don't understand why) but that we could do a pizza tour... now, as far as I know, a pizza tour is about eating pizza until you're exhausted... at least that's how I've always done it everywhere... instead, there were 16 of us at the table, and they only brought us 10 pizzas... which was basically barely a slice or two each. With fries, potato croquettes, and a few other things shared with everyone... I left quite hungry... maybe they ran out of pizza dough? Well, I'll try to come back, but for now, I don't feel like giving it 5 stars... and the stars that do exist are mostly for the location and the courtesy of SOME of the waiters... # The review above is from about 4 years ago... Update: I went back after a while, and it's improved... both in terms of food and service! The pizza is much better, the dough isn't very light, but the combinations are very good. I tried the pulled pork meatballs... good but to be honest I've had better... the meat was a bit dry and needed a drink, an opinion shared by the other diners.

I entered this restaurant without feeling particularly hungry. The advice and service were very friendly and competent. I couldn't find my request, a mixed salad without corn, on the menu. No problem! Everything was very fresh and delicious. Speaking of sustainability and style: drinks are usually served in glass bottles, with no plastic if possible, which is great! Cloth napkins, real stone tables, wooden chairs, and not too much decoration or kitsch. All in all, it was very comforting for me!

The wagon wheel pizza was very good, with a light crust that didn't leave you thirsty all night. The place was nice, the staff were friendly, but the service was a little slow. I approve, I'll definitely be back!

Truly beautiful place, friendly staff, and amazing food. We had the potato croquette with pecorino cheese and 'nduja emulsion (so big, so much so that we easily shared it between two), a Suprema pizza (and it really was) with zucchini cream, 'nduja chips (what's the point of explaining them, you just have to try them!), and red shrimp tartare, and then the Smash Burger with tuna cutlet! Are you wondering if it was all good? No... Masterful... Well done guys, and thanks... we'll be back soon!

One of the best pizzas I've ever had, truly top-notch! The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I've been there twice during my vacation, and both times they treated me with kid gloves. Highly recommended, I hope to return.

Beautiful and elegant place, attentive staff, fast service, and fantastic pizzas! There were 12 of us and we were all very satisfied! We will definitely be back and highly recommend it!

Molendini offers not only well-made pizza, but also rich and tasty dishes like this sliced steak with baked potatoes and chimichurry sauce. The eggplant meatballs are also highly recommended. The atmosphere is urban and very refined.
