I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

15/08/2024: A nice place to spend a nice evening

14/08/2024: The “Graniti” are highly recommended, also with cream, which seems wild at first but tastes wonderful. Everyone was also happy with the regular ice cream and the location in Vibo Marina is convenient. Most importantly: the line is usually less long than at most ice cream parlors in town!

20/04/2025: Unfortunately I have to report an unpleasant episode that left me with a strong sense of perplexity. After regularly paying a bill of 26 euros, I was given a receipt for just 2.60. When I returned to the counter to ask for the correct one, I had the very clear impression that it wasn't a simple mistake: the look of the person next to the cashier, who immediately pointed to me upon my return, reinforced this sensation. A behavior that leaves a bad taste in the mouth, especially because the quality of the products is indisputable and does not deserve such non-transparent management. Really a shame.

03/03/2025: The Valente pastry shop is a Calabrian excellence.. The mignon are delicious pastries, with unsurpassed creams.. unique flavor! Almond paste... Rare, unique and inimitable. The panettone are spectacular.... artisanal, made from real sourdough! Peppino, a great master craftsman. His wife Vittoria encloses everything in the great pastry shop who, with her smile, irony, friendliness, conquers adults and children...

27/03/2025: Amazing staff and great location.

18/01/2025: Great sunset with Stromboli in the background. Sanitary facilities urgently need to be modernized or repaired, but they are ok (October) and there are enough showers on the beach.

21/04/2025: An unpleasant experience, we wanted to light up to be able to have a "reinforced" aperitif. The waitress who welcomed us at our request seemed a little disconcerted, but she still let us sit on the premise that she would have asked. She came back after a while explaining that since it was lunch time they were a little busy but someone would be coming soon to take care of us, meanwhile the time was passing to make it short, we got up and left. To indifference and waiting and not caring about the customer I would have preferred a frank and sincere answer from the beginning, namely that what we had asked was not possible because perhaps it was the wrong time... I would have appreciated this... Everything else cannot be evaluated, but they certainly have a lot to improve...

23/03/2025: Great experience. The staff is very kind and friendly. The products are very unique and of excellent quality.

05/12/2024: Caution!!! There have already been a few guests like us! The old leftover from the end of the season from the frozen food is obviously used here... we were unlucky at first because we were there after the winter, so everything was even older... FOOD POISONING!!! We hadn't eaten anything else beforehand, so we could only get from the fish platter, as my husband was sick to his stomach shortly afterwards or until everything was out again! I hadn't eaten the smelly seafood/fish and had no such problems... and something like that at the sea where you could get fresh fish every day... a shame, the one-day tourists are just being ripped off here... me I had previously given 5* for the service, which I now had to correct because the owner gives such unprofessional feedback... there are also reviews where the bad food was complained about on site and the light received an okay answer!!! Then why bother and be in a bad mood? The nausea started shortly afterwards when we left the restaurant and unfortunately we had already paid... Original: Fish platter was terrible, everything was "fishy" and was by no means fresh, but at that moment you are perplexed and eat it anyway, afterwards nice presents at home => food poisoning! The spaghetti carbonara was also bland, and I cook it 100x better at home... but almost everyone can probably do it better. 2 dishes + 2 drinks = 55€ = if it was fresh and tasted good it wouldn't be expensive + food poisoning is free! Where do the good reviews come from? A mystery...

15/10/2024: The landlady and waitress were very nice, the wine and grappa were excellent, the music was good, but unfortunately that was about it for the positive experiences. The seafood salad, the daily recommendation, was tiny and poorly prepared, the beef fillet was definitely not beef, or was so old that it had no taste and a completely different consistency, and the homemade noodles, again the daily recommendation, were boring. All of this for €95 for two people is frankly a disgrace. I'm sorry for the young, dedicated landlady, but either she has different cooks on different days (that's the only way I can explain the very good reviews) or at the end of the season all the leftovers from the freezer are used up... So we definitely won't come again

23/11/2024: Good service, well-kept, welcoming and well-heated rooms

06/10/2024: Good hotel..located in the center of Sabaudia..there are places to park nearby..of course it depends on the period...as in the summer it becomes more difficult to find a place.

01/02/2025: Hello, it takes too long for the time to arrive, sad salesmen who don't want to work, best regards -Abdul

01/01/2025: We came to this place to eat with friends, the wait was very long, about 2 hours for 2 sandwiches, I hope the service improves

18/08/2024: Attentive and qualified staff, top pastry shop, recommended!!

16/08/2024: It's always a pleasure to take the sweet swivel first thing in the morning, truly magical!

12/02/2025: We went with 6 people, the place was truly wonderful, the pizzas are fantastic and very tasty, every time we go to Vibo Valentia we will return!! Dear everyone!! See you soon!!

19/10/2024: the food has a mold and the meat is raw It doesn't taste good.

15/01/2025: Pleasant sensory experience. We dined outdoors although sheltered from the wind, the dishes were excellent as was the freshness of the ingredients. With seafood: the risotto is very good but also the potato gnocchi; the frying is tender, crunchy and not greasy; the swordfish parcel is intriguing. For dessert, the chef outdid himself with a creme brulee, licorice, citron and flakes of provolone! If that wasn't enough, the attentive, prompt, polite and discreet service entrusted to Raoul Bova's twin brother in a white linen shirt!

31/12/2024: Sublime experience, we tasted various dishes mixed between sea and land, excellent food and location located near the sea, the only flaw but it has no influence on whether bitters would have been offered at the end of the meal given that we spent a significant amount, it would have been the icing on the cake but all in all there is no obligation and that's fine, all things considered I recommend you try the dishes of this place.

11/03/2025: Sun!! What more could you want!! Thank you!!

17/02/2025: Restaurant in an excellent location, good service with helpful and friendly staff, family atmosphere, slightly uncomfortable bathroom. Well prepared, simple and good quality dishes. Reasonable prices.

22/02/2025: Il posto è carino, ma non ci andate per mangiare. Menù improvvisato in quanto "lo chef stava poco bene ed è andato via". Antipasto di scarsa qualità e quantità (il prosciutto emanava cattivo odore). I secondi di carne buoni ma troppo cari. Nonostante avessimo prenotato per una persona celiaca non avevano antipasti caldi per lei e ci è stato comunque addebitato l' intera portata.

30/12/2024: Siamo stati qui domenica 29 dicembre a pranzo con una bimba di 3 anni. Servizio eccellente, personale cortese, disponibile e gentile. Qualità ottima dei loro prodotti, birra e vino eccellenti. Straconsigliato

01/04/2025: It is the second time that I am a guest in this place, and for the second time I was not entirely satisfied: overcooked and cold food. The unorganized service because from an incomplete table with the dishes coming out, the waiters started another table...

31/03/2025: The special fried pork chop is beyond imagination, bigger than the palm of your hand, and the French fries are especially delicious; the seafood pasta is delicious, with rich seafood ingredients and seasonings

05/04/2025: Autogrill only thinks about cashing in and leaves only one person to manage a service station, having to act as cashier and bartender with dozens of people in line. But what are the ways... Absurd

05/04/2025: Excellent breakfast, super croissant!
