I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

22/11/2025: Mini portions at exaggerated prices

12/11/2025: When evening service allows you one last spicy treat before bed. A historic location (formerly an oil mill) full of hospitality and poetry!

25/09/2025: The ice cream is good, I haven't tasted the rest.

25/08/2025: Despite the language barrier, we managed to make ourselves understood. They were very kind. We had breakfast there, the prices were reasonable and it was very good.

06/09/2025: Everything was excellent... congratulations!

29/08/2025: Excellent food and extremely kind and professional service. Excellent quality products.

01/03/2026: I had a wonderful time tonight enjoying an incredibly delicious pizza. Efficient service, wonderful atmosphere, and the waiter, Marcello, should get a bonus. I highly recommend it 🤌🏻

24/01/2026: Very kind staff, I ate really excellent fish and everything was served quickly... warm and welcoming place even in winter.

17/09/2025: Everything was delicious...but one thing particularly amazed me...the best butter croissants I've ever eaten in the area.

08/09/2025: Very nice well organised excellent service congratulations

02/03/2026: Great pizza. Very friendly service.

22/02/2026: The food was really good, I can't say anything about that. The dishes were tasty and well-prepared. But unfortunately, the experience was ruined by the bill. We were charged a €2 service charge per person that wasn't listed anywhere on the menu. Furthermore, the prices on the menu didn't match those on the receipt. We were honestly shocked. As tourists, we felt very judged in this place: we were stared at as if we were stupid and often even laughed at. It made us feel really uncomfortable. It's a shame, because the food deserves better, but transparency and respect are essential. Two stars. ⭐⭐

19/08/2025: Delicious ice cream Spectacular pistachio and Bacio di Dama

17/08/2025: Nice place to drink good coffee and eat good ice cream

18/09/2025: Half parmigiana and half lasagna for €37, far from cheap.

20/08/2025: Every summer, I stop by this place to try something. This year, I was unpleasantly surprised by the decline in product quality, portion size, and the exorbitant price increase. The pizza slices pictured cost around €9 and weren't even worth a single pizza. We then ordered arancini (dry, presumably frozen) and a stuffed calzone (which was all bread). I'm truly sorry.

11/12/2025: We had lunch with friends. The menu was beautifully presented by the host, who immediately clarified the price and terms. The dishes were well-prepared and very generous. My advice: focus more on traditional recipes and local products. In any case, we had a great time; it felt like family; we'll definitely be back.

25/10/2025: It's a shame you don't have a menu where you can see the prices. Then when you bring the bill with the note, it's nice but it doesn't work. Can you tell me how much an appetizer and a main course cost?

21/08/2025: One star is for the quantity of food, but not for the quality. The organization isn't the best, and above all, they should remember those who asked for lactose-free food, and that it's not enough to say, "Okay, I'll take the cheese off your top," because physical problems are the customers'. The pool was paid for even by those who didn't use it when the lady handing out bracelets said it wouldn't be included in the price. For us, 10 euros doesn't change someone's life, but for some, it does. "The pool still costs money for cleaning, lounge chairs, and the cool air." We sat on plastic chairs in the sun, but that's fine 😂 The animals are poorly kept in cages, and the pond isn't a pond. I don't recommend it to my friends, but I recommend it to my enemies.

10/11/2025: Delicious food and very attentive service. A great place for lunch. They offer a lunch menu with first and second courses, a good selection of wines, and decent coffee with Amaro del Capo.

10/09/2025: A welcoming restaurant, friendly staff, and good food. The perfect trio for an excellent dinner.

02/02/2026: A wonderful experience for families, the perfect place! Even for children, they can connect with nature and animals. The outdoor space is very large and lovely, with the option of dining outside. The lunch was excellent. Friendly staff. We'll be back.

01/02/2026: Eat traditional dishes and have a great time with friends and family, the staff is super-top!

29/09/2025: The "Vecchia Guardia" restaurant clearly aspires to a luxury category, but it is light years away from understanding the fundamental needs of its guests. Our dinner experience for four on August 21, 2025, was a complete failure, especially regarding food allergies. Lack of Seriousness about "Gluten Free" We booked specifically because the website guaranteed availability for allergens, including gluten-free. Once seated, the unpleasant surprise: my wife, a celiac, was categorically denied any dish, including a simple slice of grilled meat. The only option was bottled water! This isn't "willingness to accommodate any need," but a clear example of misleading advertising aimed solely at attracting customers. Small Portions and Mediocre Quality The dishes were somewhere between meager and mediocre, with a presentation that was meant to mimic that of a "starred chef," but I'll leave you to imagine... with a quality that was, let's say, mediocre. The small quantity is unacceptable unless supported by an excellence that was totally absent here. The Bill: The Height of Negligence The highlight was the bill. Not only did they add a cover charge to my wife, who, through their negligence, was unable to eat anything, but, even more seriously, they included two dishes that were never served due to a clear oversight in the service. We had to point out the error to the waiter (who crossed out the amounts) and then again to the cashier, where the person in charge had not yet crossed out the missing side dishes, leaving the restaurant at 10:33 PM after the complaint. Disconcerting Service Finally, the service was disconcerting to say the least. The waiters and the lady kept bringing bread and other gluten-containing dishes right in front of my celiac wife. This is a total lack of care and professionalism, especially after being informed of her celiac disease. To describe the experience as "disappointing" is an understatement. It was unacceptable. I hope anyone reading this review will appreciate how carelessly this restaurant handles its promises and the basic needs of its customers.

29/08/2025: We went to this restaurant and had a really great time. The staff was very attentive and friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was fantastic. The value for money was excellent. We absolutely recommend it! If we ever find ourselves here on vacation, we'll be back! Thank you for the quality of the food and your professionalism!
