I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

18/01/2026: I don't think I need to express myself, the photo speaks for itself, I won't take it again, totally disappointed!!

04/02/2026: I had dinner at this restaurant and the food was good. The problem was the waitress's unfortunate outburst. It was dessert time and she placed the plate in front of me. She smiled and said, "Did I see correctly?" Everyone at the table stopped to listen to what was happening. I asked, "What?" And she said, "Are you waiting?" My answer was, "No." She said, "Oh, so I guessed wrong. I'll have the liqueur added to your dessert as per the recipe." Imagine my embarrassment at being mistaken for a pregnant woman, with everyone at the table listening to what we were saying. Spoiler alert: it was pre-menstrual water retention, which is a physiological phenomenon and shouldn't be the concern of the wait staff. There could be a thousand reasons why a person has abdominal swelling: constipation, colitis, endometriosis, etc., and it's certainly not the waitress's job to point it out to everyone. There are also many ways to find out if someone can't eat foods with liqueur: ask the person to move away from the table and speak aside, point out at the table that there is liqueur in the food. But do I have to suggest how to use common sense and a little tact with people? Is it possible that in 2026 comments are still made about women's bodies, and by a woman at that? I wanted to tell her these things about people, but she didn't even bother to apologize, she continued to... Laughing around the place as if nothing had happened. Do you think that with words you hurt people and ruin an evening, embarrassing me among friends and colleagues? Or do you think that with a laugh everything will be fixed? The other waiters were kind and discreet, as befits their role. I recommend a course for her on how to treat customers and how to fix your mistakes. Pretending nothing has happened is never a good thing.

19/01/2026: Kind chef, excellent tagliolini with truffle and prawns.

07/09/2025: Friendly staff, if you want to eat Calabrian specialties you're in the right place!

04/09/2025: Nice place with a pool, good food, owner always ready to make you feel comfortable.

10/05/2026: It's a very old tatty looking run down motorway services. Needs serious capital expenses. The staff were l9vely though

06/05/2026: Excellent grilled panini Regeliana: focaccia with pistachio cream cheese & mortadella!The sfogliatella riccia was warm & crunchy & buttery and absolutely the best sfogliatella I’ve tasted in southern Italy!🇮🇹 The barista & cooks & staff were so kind & patient and appreciated how much we enjoyed their delicious food! They made us feel so welcomed!

23/01/2025: A quiet, welcoming, and family-friendly restaurant-pizzeria where I dined à la carte once and tried the pizza a second time. I had a great time; the food was to my liking, the prices more than reasonable, the meat good, and the pizza thin and crispy, just the way I like it. Service was quick. The waiter and cashier were friendly and helpful. Recommended.

23/01/2025: Ristorante-pizzeria tranquillo, accogliente e familiare dove ho cenato una volta scegliendo alla carta e provato la pizza una seconda volta. Mi sono trovata bene, il cibo è stato di mio gradimento, i prezzi più che ragionevoli, la carne buona e la pizza bassa e croccante come piace a me. Servizio rapido. Cameriere e signorina alla cassa gentili e disponibili. Consigliato.

28/10/2025: The staff is friendly enough, but they have preferences. Poor service and average pizza. People they know come and leave first. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

01/11/2025: This B&B experience is not to be repeated, due to the room overlooking the internal construction site and the unfriendly owner. I love Praia and enjoy going there when I can, but I won't be returning to Porto di Mare.

25/09/2025: Good quality food, otherwise a bad experience. I don't recommend going there. Be careful with the owner (she's clever, even if she doesn't seem so). When I asked for the bill, we realized the next day that she'd listed two salads instead of one, and a dessert we never ate... Excessive prices. My wife and I shared a cold seafood appetizer and a large mixed grill, along with two glasses of wine. We paid 90.00. Absurd!!

25/04/2026: Great music mix and amazing food and drinks. Stopped in for lunch. The gli gnocchetti was amazing and so was the aperol spritz. Highly recommend!

11/04/2026: Excellent service, very quick wait times. I asked the bartender for a cocktail of my choice, and it was excellent. Delicious food. Recommended

08/09/2025: SUSHI YOUMI is a pleasant discovery. The sushi is fresh and well-prepared, with carefully crafted and tasty dishes. The selection is varied and the quality/price ratio is excellent. The place is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and always available to offer advice. A great place for lovers of Japanese cuisine in Rende.

29/07/2025: Nice, very welcoming place with good and varied dishes....

03/08/2025: Aperitivo da EURO 10 qualità pessima. Molto da rivedere, non una buona esperienza. Ci si aspettava una qualità migliore viste alcune recensione positiva.

01/08/2025: Ottimo spaghetto con le vongole, cremoso e saporito. Gli involtini di pesce spada non ci sono piaciuti così come il primo con pesce spada e melanzane. Buona la frittura di calamari. I prezzi a mio parere troppo alti. 4 persone 4 primi e 3 secondi abbiamo pagato 170 euro.

15/03/2026: Everything was excellent, I had a gluten-free pasta with cuttlefish and cuttlefish ink which was excellent!!!

08/03/2026: Today, March 8, 2026, two people for €59.50. Nice place and decent service. The problem? The price and quality of the food. €19 for 6 bruschettas, embarrassing to say the least. Ten paccheri that tasted only of salt, and a scialatiello so raw that if thrown at someone's head, it would have caused a brain injury. I understand that these are the costs these days, and if you decide to go out for lunch, you have to take that into account. But absolutely not like this. I repeat, €19 for 6 bruschettas.

08/09/2025: Hospitality ***** Food******** Prices***** Location with a sea view ***** To get there, you have to travel along a steep road through the countryside, but once at the top, you'll be rewarded with stunning views. This brand-new restaurant, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, begins with an endless array of appetizers: ricotta, ovoline, cured meats, provolone, eggplant parmigiana, exquisite onions, caponata, fettuccine with fantastic porcini mushrooms, sliced ​​meats, mixed grill—in short, everything is wonderful, locally sourced and cooked with love. The service and friendliness are 100% recommended. Prices are below average.

26/08/2025: Spectacular views of the hills and the Ionian Sea; typical local specialties, all homemade. Dairy products, cheeses, cured meats, vegetables, olive oil, wine, and artisanal liqueurs. A must-try!

02/03/2026: I liked it very much, highly qualified and very professional staff

15/02/2026: My girlfriend and I went last night for Valentine's Day. The place is very large and spacious, and can also accommodate special events, but it's very out of the way. The evening was pleasant, but unfortunately I have to give it a low rating for two reasons: 1) The quality of the appetizer: in my opinion, the food was poor and packaged. We have so many local cured meats that going to Calabria and buying packaged items just to save a few euros isn't ideal. I ate it, but I felt sick that night. The pizza was good, but not the best. 2) Service: everything was fine. The staff were very attentive at the beginning and asked me about any intolerances on the pizza I had chosen, right up to the dessert and sparkling wine/Prosecco that were supposed to be served, but weren't served. I promptly reported this to the cashier, who was very kind and wanted to stop us or offer me a drink, which I declined because it was already late and I wanted to go home. The piano bar was very enjoyable, as was the Valentine's Day evening with the singer who, between songs, updated us on the Inter-Juventus match 😂. Overall, the experience wasn't bad, but I recommend reviewing the service and, above all, the quality of the ingredients. Sure, you charge €25 per person for a set menu with certain items, but at least include a decent appetizer that isn't prepackaged (cooked ham, which is the kind you get prepackaged in supermarkets).

28/10/2025: The only thing that's exaggerated is the price. €6 for a mini sandwich.

18/10/2025: I tried their sandwiches a few weeks ago, they were really good. You can really taste Calabria inside 😉. I even stopped by Montepaone to pick them up before going to the airport on my last day. The prices are fair for the quality of the products. When I return to Calabria, it will be a regular stop 👍🏻. Highly recommended

25/09/2025: Delicious pizza, packed with ingredients, and the staff are incredibly hardworking. This spacious and welcoming restaurant and pizzeria is perfect for celebrating large birthdays and watching sports.

11/09/2025: Excellent experience, very courteous and attentive staff, carefully prepared and exquisite dishes, recommended!
