Porta Marina In Catanzaro

What a pleasure to find this restaurant amidst the beauty of Catanzaro, which satisfied my craving for fresh seafood. Mr. Danilo welcomed us warmly. The small outdoor terrace was almost completely occupied, so we chose to sit inside, where we found a spotlessly clean, tidy, and pleasantly cool environment. The menu offers some very distinctive dishes, and we chose a few, but it was our expert Danilo who guided us through our choices, ensuring we ate just the right amount, without leaving any leftovers, and with each dish truly delicious. Their new creations are definitely not to be missed: they kindly let us try one of their innovative dishes, fried sea bass, which was a real revelation. Thanks also to the owner for his constant attention, to all the staff, and of course to our very own Danilo ❤️!! This trip will be unforgettable, and if I have the chance, I will gladly return to this restaurant.

I found this place by chance online and decided to give it a try. I have to say it was an excellent choice. The food was truly excellent, from the fried fish to the mixed grilled fish, to the desserts, everything was carefully prepared and very tasty. The owners are extremely polite and welcoming, and the wait staff is professional, knowledgeable, cheerful, and always attentive to the customers' needs. A very positive experience that I highly recommend.

The food, especially the fish, was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and professional.

A truly excellent restaurant in every way. The service is always precise and punctual, and the dishes arrive hot and prepared with great care. The cuisine is exquisite, with quality ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and generous portions. Beyond the excellent food, you can sense the great customer service and a rare level of professionalism. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality, reliability, and a consistently pleasant experience.

I want to dedicate a special review to this restaurant, which for three weeks was a fundamental presence for my family. My mother was hospitalized for knee surgery, and we relied on them for dinner every single evening. The service was impeccable in every way. Delivery was always on time, and the dishes arrived piping hot, as if fresh from the stove. The cuisine is simply exquisite: carefully prepared, flavorful, and prepared with quality ingredients. The generous portions, truly generous and satisfying, deserve special mention. In addition to the excellent food, we perceived the utmost care and attention to the customer during a delicate time for us. Highly recommended both for the quality of the menu and the reliable service.

An excellent experience in every way! Excellent service, always friendly staff, and truly helpful and welcoming owners. The quality of the fish is noteworthy: incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked: the cod morzello was spectacular, flavorful, and delicate, while the crispy and light fried fish was one of the best I've ever tasted. Highly recommended!

Truly everything was delicious: from the appetizers to the main courses. The raw ham and tuna tartar were delicious. The mussels were a true delicacy. A must-try if you want to eat excellent seafood. Highly recommended.

Excellent is an understatement. For the price paid, the food is very fair, in fact better than usual...and above all, good. The staff is courteous and helpful. The overall cleanliness is good.

Deeply disappointed by a nearby restaurant, in Catanzaro for work, we headed to the Porta Marina restaurant without much expectation. We had spaghetti with squid ink, a specialty hard to find in my region, and a tuna steak. Both dishes were exceptional. The ciccio and cod meatballs, served complimentary while you wait for your dishes, were also delicious. The staff were extremely friendly. Truly one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. Greetings from Bari! Too bad you're too far from here to take a stroll and have dinner.

The food is excellent, but it's not always possible to go there... it's a little expensive, but the food is very fresh and the staff is welcoming.
