I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

15/04/2026: Everything was perfect, top-notch pizza, excellent rotisserie! Friendly and very kind staff. Top.

20/12/2025: If you're looking for a place where seafood isn't just "cooked," Hosteria da Luisa is a must-visit. From the moment you step inside, you realize you're not just in a restaurant, but in a dining room dedicated to flavor. The real added value is Luisa herself. She's the beating heart of the hosteria: she welcomes guests with infectious passion and expertly guides them through their dish selection. It's rare to find an owner so dedicated to showcasing the provenance and freshness of the ingredients; Luisa makes sure you almost "know" the day's catch before it arrives at the table, instilling absolute trust. Fish, of course, is the undisputed star. The quality is excellent, but it's the execution that makes the difference: perfectly cooked dishes that respect the delicate flavors of the sea, without unnecessary frills, focusing entirely on substance and freshness. Every bite confirms the extreme care put into the kitchen. The prices are absolutely in line with the quality offered. When the ingredients are of this quality and the service is so attentive and genuine, the value for money is fair and satisfying. In short: A must-try for those who love real fresh fish and are looking for an authentic atmosphere led by an exceptional hostess. I will definitely be back!

06/12/2025: If you want to eat excellent quality fish, this is definitely the place to go. The cuisine is amazing; every dish is a journey of taste. Service could be improved. Prices are high.

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!

24/04/2026: I celebrated my 40th birthday at the tower and everything was perfect...from the staff to the food to the friendliness of the hosts...I recommend this wonderful place for intimate and unforgettable moments ❤️❤️❤️

30/11/2025: A rich restaurant full of courtesy and hospitality with excellent local specialties

03/10/2025: A great place – right next to their own butcher shop. Delicious and original pizza. We had the Guanciale (with bacon) and Tartufata (with beef tenderloin and truffle cream). Both were worth trying. The house-made meats are delicious. I recommend it! 🤗

16/08/2025: Some things could be improved, and quite a bit, and I'm not talking about the location. Just pizza and a lot of beer with a Coke. The pizza was sometimes overcooked, absurdly the opposite. The peppers were almost raw and inedible. A little more attention.

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!

26/04/2026: Got my order done pretty quickly, the staff was cheerful and welcoming too (especially the Argentinian lady and the tall lady with glasses). I got the Piatto Kebab without spicy sauce and Patatine with Kebab (small size), everything tasted amazing (though the chips were a bit too salty in my opinion). Very generous portions, couldn't even finish everything by myself 😝 My total was 14€. Would definitely recommend!

14/03/2026: If you're in Paola, you have to come and eat the delicious food prepared at Roj Doner Kebab. Everything is delicious, good food, plentiful, affordable prices, family atmosphere, good service from the staff, run by the owners. They also offer their friendliness to make you have the best time at their kebab shop (a thousand thanks for the friendship, from Argentina, Elena's grandma and grandpa). Greetings.

01/07/2026: Pizzas cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven Customizable with fresh ingredients and based on your tastes Highly recommended

23/05/2026: Be careful not to arrive even 10 minutes late, otherwise they will sell the pizzas you ordered.

22/11/2025: I hate to say it, but I'm Neapolitan. I ate a pizza Lucicefero thinking it would be spicy, but besides not being spicy, the pizza leaves a lot to be desired. A place called Napul'e that claims to serve Neapolitan cuisine is a far cry.

16/11/2025: Simply the best restaurant on the Ionian coast near Cosenza. Super fresh fish, refined and generous dishes, exceptional execution, and a professional and friendly staff. The best!

02/06/2026: Everything was delicious and high quality. Francesco, how lovely! See you soon.

27/04/2026: Delicious pizza! Excellent service!

20/09/2025: Top-quality food. Fresh fish. Perfect service. Excellent value.

15/08/2025: Nice cozy place, very kind staff, excellent food.

30/05/2026: Terrible grilled meat. Leftover meat reheated: burnt on the outside, cold on the inside. Mixed salad good and plentiful. It's cheap and not worth it.

09/05/2026: Excellent cuisine and competent, professional and courteous staff

20/01/2026: Always so kind! Excellent food! 😘❤️

20/01/2026: Excellent dining experience and very friendly staff. The restaurant's decor is beautiful, with a section filled with photos and messages from customers, including children's drawings. The Chinese-style chandeliers are beautiful: they create a very soft and pleasant atmosphere. Only request: offer only one portion of tuna, sea bass, and a mixed sashimi at lunch, in addition to the salmon, which is already included.

04/05/2026: The welcome was warm and welcoming, right from the phone reservation, which was confirmed upon arrival. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was incredibly fresh, and the cuisine unfussy, crafted with authentic flavors. The dishes were generous, and the service was professional and attentive. We'd love to return and recommend it without hesitation.

20/04/2026: I had lunch yesterday with my parents and son at this place, which I wasn't familiar with. We were greeted with smiles and kindness, presented with truly delicious dishes, and treated to a delightful view, with the terrace where we ate overlooking the sea. The swordfish first course and the fried fish were excellent! Highly recommended!

07/06/2026: Beautiful view, but terrible service. We arrived on time with a properly registered reservation, but were completely ignored. After 40 minutes, they took our order, and after over an hour of waiting, we'd only received a portion of fries, while tables arriving after us were being served. At 11:00 PM, we decided to leave. Instead of apologizing, they charged us a cover charge and told us, "It's Saturday night; if you don't want to wait, go to McDonald's." Furthermore, the reservation had been made through TheFork with a discount included in the promotion, but it wasn't even applied to the single drink we received. A very disappointing experience and unprofessional attitude.

07/06/2026: A shameful experience. After ordering, we waited over two hours without our pizzas arriving at our table. No one bothered to provide a clear explanation or apologize for the delay, demonstrating total disorganization and embarrassing service management. Faced with such an absurd wait and the unprofessional behavior of the staff, we were forced to leave without dinner. The most incredible thing is that we were still charged for our cover charges, even though we hadn't eaten any pizza or finished our meal. A poorly maintained restaurant, terrible service, and virtually nonexistent courtesy. An experience that leaves only a bitter taste and demonstrates a complete lack of respect for customers. I won't be returning, and I strongly advise against this place to anyone expecting even a modicum of organization and attention.
