I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

17/08/2025: Congratulations. Excellent value for money.

11/08/2025: Great place to stop if you're traveling because it's close to the Rosarno exit. Everything is good, from starters to main courses. Fast service and clean restrooms. It's a far cry from stopping at gas stations, which are overrun with people, expensive for a snack, and, as usual, the restrooms are a disgrace. It's definitely better to eat off the highway, especially for fuel, of course. We'll definitely be back.

08/10/2025: We chose to dine at the "Il Forte della Monacella" pizzeria and restaurant because of its charming location. The restaurant is just steps from the sea and has a terrace overlooking a medieval-style tower. The pizza is delicious, light, and fragrant, with a wealth of ingredients. I recommend the Calabrese, with 'nduja and dried peppers—it's truly delicious. The service was also impeccable, and the bill was generous.

25/09/2025: A wonderful restaurant with delicious food, gorgeous view on the city and the sea The waiter Georgio was super friendly and charming all the time we’ve been there, I’m giving this place 10/10!

28/09/2025: We tried the pizza: thin and crispy, but in my opinion, not much mozzarella. The strong point is the price, which is really low.

27/09/2025: exceptional service, fair prices, very friendly staff, we stayed there for a week, we haven't moved from this restaurant, we will return

11/10/2025: I've been to eat at Dolce Vita in Diamante, exceptional pizza, excellent quality products, number one, I recommend everyone to try it, high quality

05/09/2025: The croissants are tasty and soft like clouds... the improvised and delicious aperitifs... (Crostini, vegetable meatballs), delicious seafood linguine, superb shellfish... simply sublime pizza (..and I'm Neapolitan!!!). Add to all this the warm family atmosphere... you feel among friends... Final result: don't miss out on such an experience.

08/10/2025: Some of the reviews made me hesitant to try this restaurant. There are probably better dishes than others. However, the appetizer I tried (a mix of hot and cold appetizers) and the first course (gnocchi with pistachios, shrimp, yellow cherry tomatoes, and clams), along with the location overlooking the sea, make it an absolutely unforgettable experience worth repeating.

16/09/2025: I happened to be there late in the evening, but I appreciated the well-kept atmosphere and quick service... the fried food was good, the seafood appetizer less so, but the beans with mussels were tasty.

01/10/2025: Beautiful food and lovely people who were very understanding about our terrible Italian language

25/09/2025: Delicious, homemade food and a very friendly owner. I definitely recommend visiting this place, run with heart!

19/02/2025: Low quality croissants. Excellent coffee. Very kind service. Higher than average prices.

25/01/2025: Breakfast is difficult in Cosenza. Here we found a kind of canonical Italian breakfast Freshly squeezed juice Sandwich with cheese and prosciutto (delicious) Good tea Croissant Coffee It was good

07/10/2025: The best food I've ever had in Italy!!! Delicious homemade pasta. A wide selection of dishes and drinks, and very friendly service. We had an early dinner, so unfortunately, we didn't get to try the pizza, but if I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely go back.

07/10/2025: Great homemade food prepared by two older Italians. If you want to try how Italians eat, this is a great place. During the day (around 2 p.m.), the place can be a bit empty, but it's worth it. Very reasonable prices.

11/10/2025: One star, even too many!!! A very disappointing experience. I went there for a tray of mignon. The lady was outside clearing the tables and told me to wait. She came back with the tray and continued cleaning the counter. I climbed up onto the counter, thinking I was going to help her, but instead, she was rinsing the cups and, with her head down, without even looking at me, she asked me how many pastries I needed, looking annoyed that I had asked for her. So I said goodbye and left. So I gave her a piece of advice: serve yourself first and take your money, and then worry about cleaning. She probably didn't like my Roman accent, but in any case, she lost 20 euros, and I'll write a great review where I bought my pastries. Good luck.

03/09/2025: If I could have given less, I would have. I ordered a millefeuille WITHOUT cream and whipped cream, but with just hazelnut and chocolate. I would have preferred chopped hazelnuts along the edges and powdered sugar on top, but the girl who took the order explained that if she had put chopped hazelnuts on the sides, she would have had to cover the entire cake in cream. So I kindly asked her to leave it bare on the sides and just put the sugar on top, with a sugar paste tag to write the message on. When I went to pick up the cake, I noticed some tufts of cream where the powdered sugar should have been. I asked the guy what it was, and he confirmed it was cream, so I pointed out the request I had made when I placed the order. He, mortified, showed me the order, which had written how the cake was supposed to be, and there was NOTHING written about what I had asked for. I decide to turn a blind eye and order the cake anyway, just so the birthday girl doesn't go without it, given the time it's supposed to be picked up due to work. But that's not all!! Once I get home, and it's time for the cake, we notice another detail, or rather two... 1. At the first bite, all the guests expressed the same opinion: "THE PASTRY IS OLD, NOT NEW"... I could have understood if it was just one person who had this opinion, but out of 15 people, they all had the same reaction. 2. While a piece of cake was being served on a plate, the last layer was lifted, revealing, in addition to the hazelnut and chocolate, a layer of cream that I had explicitly said and repeated several times I didn't want. As a customer since I was a child, this is truly a disappointment...

06/05/2025: Superlative welcome from the owner Gino. Chef's recommended starter, spaghetti with clams good just a little too much parsley. Soft and well-kept environment. I highly recommend

02/09/2025: Very nice pub and super good meat! Service was a little slow, even though it wasn't very crowded, but it was worth the wait. I was happy with the food, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend it! :)

23/08/2025: Excellent place for a hearty and tasty aperitivo. We ordered a platter of local cured meats and cheeses and several Tex-Mex dishes to share: tacos, chili con carne, nachos with guancamole and pico de gallo, and then succulent Calabrian eggplant meatballs with mint, beef braciole, and perfectly fried rice croquettes. A taste of local caponata, just like my grandmother used to make (superb!). All washed down with a good Negroni and a citrusy non-alcoholic drink. I almost forgot about the dessert: crema catalana 🔝 Excellent value. I recommend it and will definitely be back!

02/09/2025: Great experience, beautiful pizzeria, excellent welcome and good pizza 🍕

16/08/2025: We came across it by chance, after waiting for an hour the 2 pizzas finally arrived, very salty, very slow service, personally a place not to recommend

27/10/2025: Excellent place to discover typical street food dishes

18/10/2025: I am the owner of the property, for public testamentary purposes, acceptance by the court, form, property, maps, floor plans

02/09/2025: A very welcoming place, both for those who prefer to dine inside and those who prefer to eat outside. The pizza is excellent, regardless of the flavor chosen so far. The staff is friendly and attentive.

29/08/2025: My family and I have been coming to this place for years. We've always had pizza, and the food is delicious! The staff is very kind and friendly!
