Royal Reef In Reggio di calabria

Better to book for a better table in advance

Excellent seafood dinner, everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back!

This restaurant is a must-try! We'll definitely be back! Besides the restaurant itself, which is practically on the seafront, it's also clean and very well-kept! You notice this as soon as you sit down at the table, where they immediately welcome you with an entrée. In our case, it was an octopus meatball with homemade Tropea onion mousse—truly spectacular! Then we had a tasting appetizer of raw fish that we shared, and I can assure you that the portion was more than sufficient and the fish was incredibly fresh! Afterwards, I had a first course and my companion a second course. The first course was a plate of fusilli with burrata, tomato, fish, and chopped pistachios, and it was delicious! The best pasta I've had in Reggio Calabria! My companion's second course was tuna with pistachio breading and Tropea onion mousse. This was also soft, well-seasoned, tasty, and flavorful, and you could really taste the quality of the fish! We finished with dessert: I had a white chocolate mousse with berries (excellent), and my companion had the "black pearl," a deconstructed volcano-shaped cannoli, also truly delicious. All this was topped off with fantastic service! Friendliness, kindness, and professionalism are never a given, especially in touristy places where everything tends to be a bit superficial. For everything, including a liter of excellent wine and coffee, we spent €100! In my opinion, it's a great value!

We were at this restaurant on November 10th. The location was very welcoming and clean, with seating both inside and outside, overlooking the sea. The staff and waiters were both kind and friendly. The food was very fresh, the fish was placed in a boat. We had a tasting menu that included a sample of calamari with yogurt sauce and a cooked and raw appetizer including oysters, mantis shrimp, shrimp, octopus, stockfish salad, fried cuttlefish and cannulicchie. Then we went to the first course of the day, busiate with grouper, and finally a dessert, a Nutella cheesecake, and I must say the bill was fair. I think we will definitely be back.

Eating good fish served with great courtesy in front of the Strait, with a view of Sicily I would say is a top thing, recommended

Relaxing location by the sea, more than tasty dishes and very fresh fish. Compliments to the chef and also to the staff for their hospitality and kindness.

The restaurant is located on Via Marina (a very central area), but it's a shame it's surrounded by a neglected environment. The food is truly excellent, carefully prepared (the only flaw with the appetizer, in my opinion, was the stuffed squid, whose breading came off very easily and the filling was too "liquid"). The swordfish rolls melted in your mouth (the portion was perhaps a little on the smaller side compared to other dishes served by my companions). The dessert was decent. The staff was courteous and helpful. I'll be back as soon as I can.

Not bad to eat here, the pasta is good, the service is nothing to complain about, a good place to have dinner.

While visiting Reggio Calabria with friends, they took me to this restaurant. The view alone is breathtaking: you can see the Strait of Messina and Sicily, and you're eating right by the sea. The restaurant is simple but very quaint. The staff is friendly and willing to offer advice. The appetizer was excellent, and for my first course, I had rice in an almond crust and flavored with bergamot. I really liked it because it was welcoming and typically seaside.

Best restaurant in Reggio Calabria with an incredible view of the Strait of Messina Impeccable service and operations Highly recommended
