I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

04/09/2025: The place is located in a fairytale natural setting, practically attached to the picturesque olive tree rock, and this is the main feature. It's a shame, however, that the spaces of the structure are very retro and poorly maintained, as are the rooms. Overall, we were welcomed well, although perhaps given the tiredness of the end of the season, we had an adequate approach. My advice is not a criticism. It would take very little to improve and enrich the structure and offer more modern comforts in step with the times, given the current cost line.

19/08/2025: I had dinner at this restaurant, mostly seafood-based. I'd particularly like to mention the struncatura with local tuna, a generous portion and exceptional quality—a must-try! The spaghetti with clams was excellent, and the pizza was excellent! The unparalleled view of the Scoglio dell'Ulivo and the sound of the waves provide a splendid backdrop. Recommended.

11/08/2025: Excellent fish-based first courses, the linguine with clams is a must-try!

09/08/2025: Unpretentious, mediocre street-front location, poorly maintained, food from a menu with per-course prices typical of a respectable restaurant. Unfortunately, what we ate didn't reflect its value at all. Nothing fresh was present, and the products were defrosted, as stated on the menu, lacking flavor or culinary expertise. A steep bill for bland dishes.

19/08/2025: Terrible experience, shame on me, I DO NOT recommend it TO ANYONE! We've ordered here several times; once we found a blond hair on the sushi, probably from a cat or a person, but we decided to overlook it, this time we found a green fly inside a box. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK! Lost customers for you 😡 truly unacceptable. 1 star is even too much. I can't say I had a terrible experience the other times, but I will never go back because this is truly ridiculous! Don't go ☺️❤️

24/04/2025: Personale scadente Rider poco igenico poiché fumava il sigaro in macchina Il pesce era mangiabile Il pollo non si poteva neanche assaggiare Il riso non si staccava dal piatto Se lo buttavo al muro si rompeva

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

19/08/2025: Excellent kebab, the best in the area

08/06/2025: very good I always come, everything is top

08/09/2025: September 8th: Terrible welcome, rude staff. "You have to be completely right or you'll be kicked out." These were the words, perhaps just because they're young. However, it's not acceptable for customers to always be right, even if they can be fanatical. Otherwise, this place has nothing to offer. There's no music. The only problem is the sunbeds and the unpleasant staff. I'll add that I just left the beach, and after reading the review, they even made fun of me.

25/08/2025: Gorgeous location, on Paola's stunning seafront. They have a restaurant, bar, and beach club, and have been family-run for many years. The outdoor spaces could definitely use some updating, but overall, I appreciated the fact that they were open on the seafront, which is already sadly deserted these days with many restaurants empty. They were even serving fresh croissants at 11 p.m., which was great. Fast service and fair prices. As for the fish dinner (don't you dare order meat here), the food is fresh and generally good. They also have a children's menu, and free parking is available in front of the restaurant. A place with tons of potential, but unfortunately, it hasn't quite blossomed as it deserved.

22/10/2025: This snack bar doesn't have a lockable restroom or toilet paper. This is already the second place on this street that doesn't have toilet paper (or a toilet seat)—it seems like it's not intended. The restroom was dirty. The restroom is for customers only—which shows how much this place values ​​its customers.

18/07/2025: prices have increased significantly and quality has decreased...

19/08/2025: DO NOT GO THERE. ZERO organization. We waited an hour and a half and then left without eating.

13/08/2025: The food is excellent. Generous portions, quality ingredients, and great prices for downtown Paola. The place is cheerful, the service exceptional, but the wait for the food was a bit too long.

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.

20/09/2025: Absolutely amaizing.thank you Luisa, your place is a gem.

02/09/2025: I went there for dinner with some friends, but I wasn't thrilled. There was a wide selection of typical appetizers, but the first course selection was practically nonexistent. Even the meat, despite the large grill, left much to be desired. We asked for a steak; since we didn't have one, we were served a slice that, cooked alongside other meats without checking the cooking times, was completely charred and tough. We had to ask for another.

11/09/2025: Non-existent service; it took an hour to order. I asked for a glass of sparkling water, and after 40 minutes they said they didn't have any. I don't recommend it.

13/08/2025: Location: Nice and spacious Service: Very helpful staff Food: A bit of a sore point: I had a Grand Marnier affogato. It was good, but 80% of it was cream, and very little ice cream, although very good. But I don't think it's worth €7 at all. A gelato sundae is better; it costs less and is more filling.

06/09/2025: I passed by several ice cream shops but I preferred to change and went to Vittoria, the historic and well-known name. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the sulky cashier. I asked for a cone with cream, but they don't make it. I asked for three flavors, but they can't do just two flavors! And I was told that with three flavors, it would be more gelato... Never again in a place like that!!!!!

01/09/2025: The ice cream wasn't great...the owner and employees were rude and impolite...it puts you off going there.

14/10/2025: Beautiful place 🥰breathtaking view exquisite food absolutely to return Mr. Domenico is very high top levels thank you for everything💕❤️😘

14/10/2025: Dinner with sea view, refined and well-kept place.. Courteous staff and welcoming owner, very good food, the best on the coast!! RAW FISH WITH APPETIZER THE TOP OF THE TOP!!
