A real discovery! Trattoria dei Poeti is a classic place where tradition and authenticity reign supreme.

Trattoria dei Poeti in Rocca Imperiale offers an authentic and genuine experience of Calabrian cuisine. The appetizers are rich and surprising, the first courses are carefully crafted and original, and the rustic, family-friendly atmosphere makes the meal even more enjoyable. The owner welcomes guests warmly, making everyone feel at home. The set menu, around €30-40, offers a variety of local specialties at a good value. It's an ideal place for those who love traditional flavors and want a convivial and authentic experience, far removed from standard tourist restaurants.

For me, Trattoria dei Poeti is a family favorite and a regular stop every summer. The food is always excellent, with carefully prepared and generous dishes, and the prices are absolutely in line with the experience. The location is charming, in the heart of one of Italy's most beautiful villages, and the price includes not only the food but the entire experience: atmosphere, hospitality, and tradition. I've read some negative comments that I honestly disagree with: for me, it remains a trusted source and a place I always return to with pleasure.

I've recently read some negative reviews, but I've always had a great time! It's a regular stop every time I return to Rocca. It's true that there's no à la carte menu, but I think that's precisely the beauty of it: they take you on a culinary journey, explained with passion, rooted in the true traditions of the area, not just the usual "generic" Calabria. The appetizers are always delicious, with traditional dishes enhanced with original touches that make them unique, while remaining true to their roots. I say this as a local—I recognize the flavors of home, but with a twist. The first courses are always exquisite, the second courses and the meat are of excellent quality, and you eat so much… so much so that I often didn't even make it to dessert! But the time I did, they were truly exceptional. The owner also makes everything even more enjoyable: friendly, humorous, and direct, she guides you through the experience with a smile and great passion. Regarding the prices: I think they're more than fair considering the quantity, quality, and experience. In short, I highly recommend it. But perhaps it's better if you want to discover something different and authentic, not if you're looking for the usual restaurant with a tourist menu.

The dining venue alone is worthy of a five-star rating, both inside and out. The lady serving was very friendly and courteous, and the courses consisted of a selection of appetizers chosen by the restaurant (each one better than the last). From the reviews, I see that not everyone appreciated this "surprise." I appreciated it very much, especially because these were dishes I probably would never have chosen, but which were a pleasant discovery! Everything was truly delicious, even the first courses were very good. I was too full to try the second courses, what a shame! I had a wonderful evening and dinner at this place, and I recommend it 1000%.

Typical and excellent products, excellent service, kind staff, I HIGHLY recommend stopping for the appetizers, and then considering whether to order the other dishes.

Certainly the most beautiful of the Rocca Imperiale restaurants, with a splendid view of the moon reflecting on the sea, framed by the recently renovated square. The dishes are traditional, tasty, and flavorful. Hearty, as is the local culture. The menu is set, with many delicious appetizers, and then you can choose between a first course, a second course, or both. The house wine is red or rosé; we had the rosé, which is actually a bland red with "peasant" notes; for those who like it, it's fine. Sausage is present everywhere, as is traditional; if you're vegetarian, ask because I don't think it's classified as meat. The tiramisu is delicious, with a drizzle of warm chocolate on top. €75 for 2

Trattoria sita in un borgo bellissimo, cucina tipica eccezionale, grandissime simpatia e gentilezza dei proprietari. Abbiamo mangiato tanti antipasti, dalle bruschette ai peperoni, ai fritti, ai fegatini in piatto tipico buonissimo, ottime anche le tagliatelle al limone, pasta ai ferretti ragu di slasiccia salsiccia e la particolare pasta e pomodoro della trattoria. Per secondo veramete ottimo il coniglio. Insuperabili le 2 versioni delle cheescake al limone ed ai frutti di bosco. Consiglio a tutti di provare questo fantastico posto.

Très bon accueil, menu à 30€ avec antipasti et primo ou secondi. Cuisine régionale avec goût ! Complète avec bonheur la visite du lieu au site magnifique .
