I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

03/05/2026: Interesting bar, nice style, very large, unique, good music. Service ok.

21/03/2026: Excellent croissants, friendly and helpful staff. The coffee and ice cream are also good.

08/09/2025: Despite being a state-of-the-art facility with helpful and friendly staff, it is poorly maintained. Maintenance and cleaning are lacking, access is in terrible condition, and the bathrooms are closed.

07/09/2025: September 2025, the cable car closes at 4pm. It's scandalous, it's been done specifically to make people go there in the morning to have their meals. But honestly, rather than let someone from the area rip me off, as a Calabrian "resident in Calabria," I say that under these conditions, I'll take my money to another region where I'm treated better and the prices are better, where tourists are treated with kid gloves. Goodbye, never again.

25/07/2026: It's a small bar with an indoor dining area and a few tables outside for drinks and a bite to eat. It's located on the beautiful Lagonegro road, which leads to the sea through small, lush mountains. After leaving the Salerno-Reggio area, you take this road to reach the seaside towns. The bar offers excellent sandwiches with Calabrian schiacciata and cheese. For me, it's an almost obligatory stop when I'm on vacation in Calabria.

20/07/2026: For us, it's a family tradition, started by my Uncle Angelo about 50 years ago. Every time we need to reach Sangineto (CS), it's our go-to stop for a great sandwich, just like it used to be. Our favorite is Capocollo with Provola. I recommend everyone to stop by. Take the Lagonegro Nord exit, heading towards Martedì. After about 4 km, you'll arrive at GAGLIARDI, which is very convenient on your right.

14/09/2025: Wonderful experience! We spent a week at Lido Baffo. Initially, we were a bit lost, unfamiliar with the area. After meeting Mr. Isidoro and his son, Giovanni, everything changed. They made us feel at home with their sweetness, kindness, and helpfulness, guiding us through the best ways to enjoy a relaxing holiday. The lido is very well-maintained and quiet, the sea is gorgeous, and even the bathrooms are very well-kept. We couldn't help but capture a moment with our dear Mr. Isidoro! ❤️

13/09/2025: Food goodie if I ate more I would fly to sky and not come down

11/08/2026: We ordered the mussels with nduja, but they were just mussels with colored, acidic water. The paccheri with pistachios were very good, but the portions were very small for the price, and the seats were very uncomfortable. On the other hand, the staff was kind and polite. Nice and well-kept place.

06/08/2026: We went to eat here on the recommendation of our partner hotel. The meat appetizer and first courses were plentiful and delicious. I would have preferred more traditional cured meats.

01/11/2025: We ate at this restaurant. We really liked the food. The portions were large.

31/10/2025: Delicious pizza 🍕 great dough, delicious ingredients, lots of pomodoro and cheese, delicious, I recommend it to everyone

11/08/2026: Excellent pizza and a place suitable for families with children since the La Balena amusement park is nearby.

10/08/2026: Restaurant, beach club, showers, restrooms, parking. What more could you ask for for a relaxing day at the beach?

16/08/2026: Terrible experience – almost 3 hours for a terribly managed lunch We arrived at 12:30, a group of 7 people plus 2 newborns, and left our table at 3:15. Almost three hours for a lunch that we didn't even manage to eat as planned. I completely understand that it was the 15th of August, that the restaurant was crowded, and that the staff was sparse. No one expects perfect service on a day like that. But it's one thing to have longer wait times, and another to treat customers this way, especially not to be clear about the timing. The appetizers arrived after about half an hour. Then we waited about another hour for the main courses, despite repeatedly asking how they were progressing. The even more absurd thing is that some tables who arrived after us got up and left before us. So evidently the problem wasn't just the restaurant being full, but also the poor order management that left much to be desired. Once we'd finished our first courses, we asked for second courses: we'd ordered rare/medium steaks. We were told the meat was already on the grill and cooking and would arrive shortly. After waiting a long time, we asked again and, since we'd lost our appetite due to the long wait, we clearly stated that if the meat wasn't already cooking, they could easily skip it. We asked this twice. Both times, we were told the meat was already on the grill and therefore practically ready. We continued to wait. More time passed, we asked again, and again we were told it was being cooked. At that point, after more than 40 minutes from our first request for second courses, exasperated by the wait, we got up to pay and decided to forgo the meat altogether. And just as we got up to leave, we were suddenly told the meat was ready and that they would be putting it in the takeaway trays. At this point, a question arises: if the meat had really been on the grill for so long, why hadn't it been served? Especially considering we'd ordered rare/medium cuts of meat, which are normally served immediately after cooking to maintain the customer's desired doneness. And indeed, once we received the meat, yet another surprise: the cuts we'd ordered rare weren't rare at all. What bothered us most, therefore, wasn't simply the delay. It was the feeling of being constantly reassured with information that didn't seem to correspond to what was actually happening. If they had honestly told us, "There are so many orders, the main courses will arrive very late, we can skip them if you want," we would have decided what to do. Instead, we asked twice not to have the meat cooked until it was ready to be cooked, precisely because we'd lost the will to wait, and both times we were told it was already on the grill. This kind of mockery is absolutely unacceptable. Customers can understand the chaos, the August bank holiday, and the staff shortage, but they at least expect honesty and clarity. As if that weren't enough, we also had problems when paying: the POS was reported as non-functioning, and, having to split the bill, we were basically asked to do the math and organize ourselves because the staff was busy. We were 7 people plus 2 infants, arriving at 12:30 and leaving at 3:15. In the meantime, we saw people arrive after us, eat, and leave before us. The August bank holiday may justify slower service, but it doesn't justify the disorganization and, above all, the lack of transparency with the customer. Awful experience. Service needs a complete overhaul. As far as we're concerned, we won't be returning.

16/08/2026: Arriving at 12:30, the service seemed promising. Unfortunately, the timing proved disastrous: after finishing the appetizers and first courses, we were still waiting for the second courses at 1:50 PM. Concerned about the slow service, we specifically asked for the cuts to be canceled if preparation hadn't yet begun. ​The waiter—the owner's son—told us that the meat was already "out." This was clearly false, given that, being rare, the dishes should have taken no more than 5 or 10 minutes to arrive. After a full 40 minutes of further, pointless waiting, I asked for an explanation. Instead of apologizing for the tease, the waiter brazenly denied his previous statement, claiming the meat was still on the grill. ​Exasperated by this attitude, after another 5 minutes we stood up to pay at the cashier only for what we had consumed. Only then were we told the meat was ready and offered to take it away. ​Such behavior shows a serious lack of respect for the customer, as well as a complete inability to manage the dining room and admit one's own mistakes. Professionalism isn't measured only by how well things go, but above all by transparency when delays occur. A completely negative experience. I definitely won't return, nor will I recommend it to anyone, lest I embarrass myself.

21/11/2025: NIGHTMARE DINNER. Unfortunately, I can't give a detailed review because it was truly a nightmare. I walked in and my friends were already at the table. I didn't feel welcome because as soon as I opened the door, I was overwhelmed by the screams of children who were sitting at a table quite isolated and far away from us. Honestly, I wanted to leave because we couldn't talk, but the girls had already had to wait for me because I was getting off work. Ordering was a huge undertaking given the noise, but the lady was fantastic and friendly. The pizza was good and light, but I couldn't finish my meal because the moment we politely asked the kids to keep their voices down, their parents yelled horrible things at us. They called us exhausted and wished the worst on us. None of the staff intervened. We left immediately and paid the full price, no discount, no apology from anyone. Personally, I will never set foot in there again. I thank God for how it went, because it could have been a tragedy given the crowd at that table. The level of delinquency was absolutely beyond belief. This is absolutely not the place for me. It's not for families or people with health problems who want to have a fun evening. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED.

15/11/2025: Very nice and well-maintained place, the staff is helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money, I will be back.

20/10/2025: Great bar inside the shopping center, but the hospitality of the always available staff is *super*... especially Giuseppe who, with his kindness and qualifications at work, always knows how to find the solution... but above all he always makes you feel at home! 🔝

17/10/2025: The staff is friendly, helpful, and cheerful! Just what you need for a relaxing break!

03/08/2026: A pleasant surprise. Good food and friendly service. I recommend the baccalá in úmido. Spectacular.

14/07/2026: We had dinner last night. The pizza was exceptional, especially the calzones. The service was top-notch. We'll definitely be back.

26/05/2026: A very friendly bar with attentive and welcoming service. Delicious pizza and panzerotti. The best cappuccino in Cosenza!

21/05/2026: The current management is far from up to the previous one. This morning, while enjoying a coffee with friends, I was abruptly asked to vacate my table because, according to the waiter, "he had to close the bill." I should point out that there was no one waiting to be seated, and that we were waiting, and that we spent no more than 20 minutes there, between ordering, drinking, and chatting. I believe that polite and courteous customer service should be impeccable and a priority. It's unfortunate to note a significant lack of manners among the wait staff. I wish you the service you deserve!

07/08/2026: Excellent meat on the salt stone, very good appetizers. The waiter was knowledgeable and very kind.

24/04/2026: The pizza par excellence is the Margherita, and its ingredients are extremely simple: tomato, mozzarella, and basil. If one of these is missing, we're talking about something else. If a pizza chef can't make a Margherita or forgets an ingredient, it's better to make something else! The quantity and quality of the ingredients are very low.
