I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

21/10/2025: This year, my husband and I stayed at the resort the last week of August and the first of September with a couple of friends. We had a wonderful time. We had a ground-floor cabin (which I requested well in advance, as I have a dog). The room was very nice with new furniture and a modern bathroom with a shower. The cleaning ladies were quick and excellent. The resort was very well-kept and clean. The reception staff were friendly and polite. The breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner were served at your table—everything was excellent! The restaurant staff were super friendly and helpful, and I also wanted to thank the restaurant manager (Roberto), who was always very kind and attentive to his guests. Every evening, there was a piano bar in the central area. The maestro sang and played beautifully, followed by the entertainment staff who put on group dances and a variety of music. The beach wasn't far from the village, accessible on foot or by the little train that ran to and from the village. The only drawback was that there's no sand, just small rocks, and the sea gets deep right away (not ideal for non-swimmers), but the water is crystal clear! And the view makes up for it: Dino Island, a spectacle! We'll definitely be back!

18/09/2025: I spent a week's holiday in this village with a group of friends. Excellent welcome. I thank the director Giuseppe, Kira Misto, the maitre Roberto and the waiter Graziano who is always available.

07/09/2025: A wonderful day at the beach, very helpful staff and excellent food

26/07/2025: Well-equipped and with secure parking (for a fee). It also has a bar/sandwich shop/restaurant with tables, a beach volleyball court, and a soccer field on the sand. The umbrellas are quite close to each other (perhaps the only drawback), but otherwise everything is fine.

15/05/2025: Incredible!!! We've enjoyed excellent aperitivos here twice already. The low price doesn't reflect the outstanding quality of the authentic food. The ambiance and the very friendly staff made the evening a highlight. Thank you for that!

11/05/2025: This restaurant is not worth visiting. Food is overpriced and simply not good (served on plastic (!) plates )- same goes for the service - waiters are buzzing around you constantly, talking on their walkie-talkies like they are in a swat team (mind that at the time only 3 tables were taken) making it impossible to enjoy the meal (not that there is much to enjoy). Stay away for your own good.

06/09/2025: Excellent traditional Sila food and impeccable service. The mushroom salad and creamed potato soup with 'nduja and caciocavallo are incredible. The traditional Scirubetta dessert, made the old-fashioned way, is out of this world. Definitely worth a try!

21/08/2025: Lunch at the tavernetta is a unique experience. A pampering experience amidst the poetry of the Sila. Wonderful people who welcome you with kindness and courtesy. Excellent ingredients prepared following tradition but enhancing their flavor, aroma, and substance with originality. It's my favorite restaurant, my favorite chefs in Calabria. Thank you 🙏

23/09/2025: The Chinese owner is very nice and welcoming. The Chinese food is delicious, and the espresso is excellent.

29/07/2025: Two years later: the food is still good, the restaurant has been revamped, and the atmosphere is very nice and clean. Excellent service and very friendly staff. The menu has been updated with new dishes. Yes, you can order everything online on your smartphone at the restaurant. No chipped dishes! I highly recommend this new culinary experience. 👍

10/04/2025: Delicious gluten-free pizza and good salads, friendly and courteous service, recommended 👍🏼

18/02/2025: Pizza davvero molto buona peccato per la signora che appena arrivi ti squadra dalla testa ai piedi con aria di superiorità, per non parlare del cameriere che sembra faccia tutto tranne il cameriere. Insomma.. pizza davvero buona ma dovrebbero cambiare personale (non sono l'unico a pensarlo)

10/11/2025: A real discovery. Everything is truly excellent, from the appetizer to the dessert (strictly homemade and baked in a wood-fired oven). The pizza dough is fabulous, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch. The waiters and staff are also truly friendly. When I'm in Cosenza again, I now know where to go for dinner.

05/11/2025: Very good, digestible and quality pizza

23/08/2025: We were there last night, we ordered at 9pm and the food was served at 9:50pm (after having asked the waiter to ask the kitchen how much was left)... they served other tables that arrived after us...

18/08/2025: A delicious little restaurant, it was recommended to us and it didn't disappoint. In fact, we returned twice; if our vacation hadn't ended, we would have returned a third time! Excellent quality food and truly fair prices, the waitresses were super kind and helpful! Recommended!

28/07/2025: Un ristorante che non merita di rimanere aperto. Iniziamo dal fatto che il cameriere che presumo sia il proprietario ci dice che per ordinare un primo minimo due porzioni (eravamo in due). Cibo discreto e per finire il conto che ci viene detto a voce e nemmeno basso. Mai più

26/07/2025: Ristorante in cui ritornerei. Titolari molto gentili. Preso primo piatto con frutti di mare e frittura. Piacevole serata

24/09/2025: The beach is open even at the end of the season when most others close: irreplaceable. Also because the other attraction, the restaurant, offers cuisine worth tasting, made with carefully selected, fresh ingredients. Yes, I'd say that when I return to Schiavonea, this will definitely be one of my favorite destinations!

13/09/2025: Quite a nice place, service not what you'd expect. We were there at lunch.

18/08/2025: Excellent family restaurant that serves cuisine based on fresh, local produce! We love it!

07/10/2025: The girl named lovely, if I'm not mistaken, is disarmingly beautiful and sweet! I wish everyone a girl as sweet as her.🥰

04/10/2025: Nothing. Impressive. Gallant. Pleasant. Entertaining.

09/06/2025: Bad experience the confirmation cake was inedible 4.8 kg of cake left on the plates and it should have been 4 kg! It was chocolate and chantilly cream what did the fruit rum have to do with it I don't know Dark sponge cake full of fruit rum one pays handsomely at least they made things well never again I wrote a message to avoid the review he didn't even reply to me after reading it

26/05/2025: The shekerato is the workhorse! Classic recipe, unmistakable taste. It is pleasant to enjoy sitting at the tables, among other things there is always a place, despite it being always busy. The service is fast, the staff very polite and kind. You can perceive a lot of serenity among the staff, a factor not to be underestimated. The owner is a very polite person even with customers, always smiling. The delivery service is very efficient, we have been ordering cakes for 20 years at home, we are very satisfied and the cakes are excellent from taste to aesthetics. We have had the opportunity to try the pastry buffet at some events, I would say excellent. I also recently tried the ice cream, impossible not to fall in love with the Nutella flavor! The prices are reasonable.

19/10/2025: Really enjoyed our meal here from start to finish. The service was so lovely and while no one else was there, as it was off season, he put on music and created a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious. We got local harvest olive oil, two days old, absolutely delicious as was the house red wine. The zuppa faglioli was molto Buono 🥰🥰😋 would definitely go back and was very happy with our little meal here 😊😊❤️❤️

09/10/2025: Nice place and good service. The food was mediocre at best.
