I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

15/09/2025: Great bar, excellent products, and the owners' friendliness is second to none. Highly recommended

15/07/2025: This place is truly fantastic and wonderful. The coffee cream they make in this bar is truly Nobel Prize-worthy. There are no words to describe the goodness of that coffee cream. The owners are truly very kind and welcoming. Highly recommended.

14/01/2026: Very negative experience, 3 first courses with porcini mushrooms, not even 50g of pasta, no equipment, a bottle of water at a sky-high price, I was shocked... highly discouraged.

14/01/2026: Negative. Small portion and very high price with lumps of flour in the pasta.

05/11/2025: A pleasant and surprisingly thoughtful lunch. Safe and Sound is one of those places that doesn't just aim to "satisfy your hunger quickly," but to give you the feeling that someone has really thought about what you're eating. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and relaxing. The pace is right. And above all: you can sense a focus on quality without flaunting it. The dishes arrive balanced, beautifully plated, without heavy or redundant execution. Here, the focus is on clean flavors, clarity of ingredients, and an approach that respects what you eat without overdoing it. And this is a rare commodity at lunch. The service was one of the most convincing points: helpful, quick when needed, but also very accommodating to specific requests. This isn't a given at lunchtime, where many places cut back on attention to detail. If I had to point out room for improvement (for cognitive honesty, not destructive criticism): some dishes could be a little more daring in their aromatic layering. There's no need for radical changes, just that final "click" that makes a dish memorable even in the memory. Overall, Safe and Sound is a place well worth a lunch break in Catanzaro Lido: solid, clean, well-managed, with a contemporary identity. And with a little more attention to the fine sensory details... it could become one of those places you'd recommend without even having to argue.

04/09/2025: What can I say? While I was looking for a place to eat fish and chips because my partner is English, I stumbled upon this little gem. The place is delightful, the music is great, the food is delicious, and the food is truly beautifully presented. Mediterranean flavors revisited in an innovative way. A wonderful surprise. We come to Catanzaro every year, and we'll definitely be back; it'll be one of our favorite destinations. Thank you so much!

07/09/2025: I'm Teresa... Excellent quality and excellent courtesy. See you next year.

07/09/2025: The dough is light, well-leavened, and cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, from the tomatoes to the mozzarella, and even the most unusual toppings. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. The service is also fast.

25/09/2025: A real surprise just a few kilometers from my hometown (Cinquefrondi). Quality products, excellent service, a very youthful and well-kept place. Very fair prices, and what's more, the friendly staff. One evening I tried the restaurant, and another evening the pizza service... What can I say? I was truly satisfied.

30/08/2025: We celebrated our niece's wedding, the welcome was wonderful, the food was delicious and plentiful, the pizza was spectacular.

21/09/2025: Excellent, freshly cooked Calabrian dishes in a quiet location. Highly recommended!

02/09/2025: The best restaurant we have been to in the entire region, incredible food in an atmosphere as if you were privileged guests.

25/12/2025: Location surrounded by greenery, professional service, excellent dishes we tasted, a place that I definitely recommend trying

10/12/2025: A beautiful establishment surrounded by greenery, delicious freshly prepared hot and tasty appetizers, an excellent selection of homemade first courses, delicious second courses and side dishes as well, flavors that demonstrate traditional cuisine with quality products, friendly waiting staff and great attention from the owner who is always ready to answer any request.

13/01/2026: A magnificent traditional Cosenza lunch, a real "frittuliata" as it should be and at a fair price.

09/12/2025: Excellent food and welcoming atmosphere, very fast and attentive service.

06/01/2026: Service is sometimes a bit slow, but the atmosphere is very pleasant (especially in the summer) and the food is decent. The menu isn't particularly surprising, but it's very balanced and, while a bit classic (or perhaps because of that), it's excellent. The wine list is also very good. Highly recommended, both for events and for an occasional (and certainly pleasant) stop.

31/12/2025: Beautiful place for adults and children

11/12/2025: Visit the cave during the Immaculate Conception weekend. The last 2 kilometers are accessible via a narrow road. The cave entrance is accessible via a 100-meter forest path. Both the exterior and interior of the cave are fascinating. The guide was very kind and helpful.

03/12/2025: If you're passing through Pollino or the surrounding area, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Romito Cave and Shelter (HERMIT), an archaeological site dating back to the Upper Paleolithic, containing one of the oldest examples of prehistoric art in Italy. The guided tour will captivate you with its artifacts, rock formations, and ancient history.

06/09/2025: Very good things and very kind staff

28/08/2025: Excellent value for money. The pizzas and arancini are delicious and reasonably priced. You can dine in the spacious indoor or outdoor area, at no extra charge.

20/01/2026: Best pizza I've ever eaten, great food.

01/01/2026: Excellent pizza and service. Thanks for accepting a hungry group even at 3:30 PM.

16/11/2025: Very careful with the preparation of the meats. I really appreciated the mise en bouche and the welcome drink. The host gives excellent advice on choosing the meat and the quantity of dishes to order. The sauces... excellent! Well done!

21/09/2025: Great experience Excellent quality 🙏🏿✨ Highly recommended!!!! From the selection of cheeses to the tartare, the Mazura is sublime ❤️

03/01/2026: I've been a customer at the bar for a while now, and I don't understand why people complain about the service charge. The girl is always kind and polite, clearing the table every time a new customer comes in. The place is heated, so it's normal for there to be a charge for prompt, accurate service. In some bars in Cosenza, I've had them hand me a croissant; I've had to carry it to the table myself, and the tables are often dirty with the previous customer's crumbs. And if they have tables outside, well, there are often pigeons happily feasting there. At Bar Dante, I ate in a clean, warm setting, and was treated kindly. The croissants and pastries are unquestionable; they're top-notch.

27/12/2025: Always at the top! Among the best!

30/09/2025: We had a great time. Well-prepared seafood/fish. Fresh, flavorful products. Delicious side dishes (shout-out to the caponata). Great wine list. Fair prices.

29/09/2025: Superb pasta, fish dishes, vegetables, and the best caponata in Calabria. Very friendly service, and dogs are welcome too 🙏🏽👏
