I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

08/05/2026: Lovely place for a short break on my last day in Reggio Calabria, great lemon granita and a tasty tarte as a snack, hope to be back again on my next visit to RC :-)

26/04/2026: The staff is friendly and offers a warm welcome. The bar is well-maintained. A good experience.

25/08/2025: Family-run store. It offers adequate customer service and is a year-round destination for residents and visitors alike. The food, service, and atmosphere are average.

20/07/2025: Cheap and tasty, takeaway rotisserie

28/10/2025: Horrible experience, owner and waiter very unpleasant.

27/10/2025: Frozen seafood appetizers preserved in oil. Linguine full of oil. Seafood pasta full of oil but tasty. Desserts inedible. Fried fish generous and average. Pasta with tomato sauce acceptable.

07/12/2025: We ate until we dropped at this restaurant. If you like sushi, you have to try it.

01/12/2025: An excellent place for the services it offers with average prices

04/05/2026: All smoke and mirrors! I absolutely don't recommend it on holidays! Poor quality, not eaten, and the pastries thrown away.

08/04/2026: The best pastry shop in the upper Ionian Sea, I believe, but certainly a jewel in the crown for Villapiana

11/10/2025: I found a piece of wood in the pizza. FULL STOP Sofia Calogero, not Maria Gabriele

15/07/2025: I know for sure how much care goes into every pizza, from the choice of ingredients to the attention to every detail. If you want to stay up to date on all the news, just follow us on Instagram: @ristorantepizzeriailpunto 💛🍕

12/05/2026: Wonderful place, great location

10/05/2026: The welcome, the food, the lake view, everything was impeccable, I will not miss it next time

04/06/2026: A quiet place to enjoy honest and authentic dishes. Run by truly kind and helpful people.

25/01/2026: I'm giving one star because you can't give less, the place is cold and old-fashioned, the staff is unwelcoming, the pizza was brought cold and was inedible, it seemed like a frozen one, we didn't leave so as not to be rude, for the price we paid, you can definitely find better, not recommended

10/04/2026: Nice place... Great coffee and aperitif! 💯💯💯

27/02/2026: Horrible experience. Yesterday morning's aperitif was one of the worst I've ever had. The food had flavors and textures that seriously raised doubts about its freshness. Some products had an altered taste and looked anything but reassuring. Needless to say, after a few hours I felt ill, with severe stomach pain, and I spent the whole night with severe intestinal discomfort. I'd been to this place once before, and even then, I didn't feel well after the aperitif. I still wanted to give it a second chance, thinking it was an isolated incident, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. An aperitif should be a pleasant experience, not an experience that ruins your night. Personally, I won't be returning, and I absolutely can't recommend it to anyone.

16/10/2025: One of the few still open. We arrived at 4 PM, but they made themselves available for a delicious plate of spaghetti with clams. There's no need to say more about the view.

13/10/2025: Lovely spot open all year with drinks and nibbles. Run by a great chap, Lorenzo, who is very friendly and helpful and professional. Definitely our regular beach spot while were in Paola

31/05/2026: The worst pizza I've had in a long time. We ordered completely identical pizzas for our table, but the service was embarrassing to say the least: they arrived at completely irregular and staggered times. We basically ate one at a time, looking at each other—an unacceptable disorganization, considering the pizzas were identical and should have come out together. ​But the real disaster was on the plate. The pizzas were literally raw on the surface, while the bottom was completely burned and covered in black carbon. It felt like we were chewing ash mixed with uncooked dough, a clear symptom of a total inability to manage the oven and the cooking process. ​As if that weren't enough, the raw ingredients also left much to be desired: the buffalo mozzarella used was decidedly poor quality and had an annoyingly rubbery consistency, far from the freshness and flavor a true buffalo mozzarella should have. ​Money wasted on a practically inedible product and terrible service. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. Highly not recommended.

31/05/2026: I was at the Trocadero recently and the restaurant experience was nothing short of disastrous. I understand the seasonal price increases at the beach resorts, but here it's truly bordering on the absurd. ​I ordered a meat main course and, for a whopping €18, I found myself with literally less than four pieces of meat on my plate. As if the paltry quantity weren't enough, the quality was absolutely terrible: the meat was extremely tough, almost inedible, and it was cooked completely incorrectly, far from the requested medium doneness. Added to this was €6 for a vegetable side dish, which turned out to be a paltry and embarrassing little dish. ​To add insult to injury, the cashier justified her decision by saying that the prices were clearly displayed on their digital menu. Too bad she "forgot" to specify a crucial detail: the photos of the dishes on that menu don't correspond in the slightest to reality and are clearly generated by Artificial Intelligence! They display generous and inviting portions that bear no resemblance to the sad, empty plates that actually arrive at your table. ​An exorbitant bill that leaves you feeling cheated, having eaten terribly, and still hungry. The place itself may have its charm, but such speculative kitchen management, combined with misleading communication, completely ruins the experience. ​Absolutely not recommended. I won't be returning.

12/04/2026: It's located on the main street, where unfortunately many businesses have closed over the years. Luckily, this bar has stood the test of time. The outdoor tables are set up on the street, but the problem is that you find yourself a bit surrounded by people walking between the tables, and we even had kids on scooters whizzing by happily. Not the best if you want to enjoy an aperitif with friends and maybe chat a bit. It would probably be enough to rearrange the table layout or cordon off the area to avoid rude people and disruptive guests. The aperitif isn't bad, and they offer some appetizers, although the cocktails are a bit bland. However, being in a seaside area, unfortunately, few have thought to offer some local specialties or even simple bruschetta. It would be a nice idea, overall. The staff is friendly, and prices are average for the area. If you're driving, there's free parking nearby. Not suitable for large groups, as space is limited both inside and out.

19/12/2025: Stunning structure equipped with every imaginable comfort, large parking lot, very large restaurant hall with adjacent bar stocked and functioning throughout, immense beach with brand new and well-kept umbrellas and deckchairs, very kind and helpful staff towards the customers, strategic position on the seafront as you are neither in the chaos nor isolated, this means a lot because Schiavonea is very crowded in the period of July - August

11/09/2025: I went to this place a few days ago, but unfortunately the prices were sky-high and the quality was terrible. The dishes were salty and the fish was frozen. It's a shame because the owners are friendly and the service is good. The food was a real disappointment, as was the bill.

24/05/2026: As soon as we arrived, my fiancée and I were captivated by the wonderful view of the Ionian Sea. Recommended for families with small children. Very generous portions and affordable prices. We sampled the typical local appetizer paired with the excellent house wine. Afterwards, Chef Pierino delighted us with two courses of paccheri with mushrooms and sausage. The waiters were very courteous and friendly. It's a very popular place; I recommend booking in advance if you don't want to wait. We'll be back!

19/04/2026: The place is disgusting and unhygienic. Mediocre dishes that don't live up to tradition and, above all, poorly packaged. Extremely unprofessional management. Very poor and unpleasant service. Not worth the price. I strongly advise against it.

11/03/2026: Here you can eat the real Pizzo truffle! They have many delicious gelato flavors...and if you want to give someone a sweet gift, they also have mini multi-flavored chocolate-covered croissants 😋 everything is delicious!

29/12/2025: Interesting selection and friendly service. Prices, however, are decidedly high for the portions: three miniatures for €4.50.
