I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

21/09/2025: Nice place, expensive food, little and cold

19/09/2025: We went to dinner at this restaurant on the recommendation of friends. The location is beautiful, with an enchanting view of Scilla. We ordered exquisite fried fish and excellent mussels with pepper as an appetizer. The first courses were exceptional: DELICIOUS linguine with sea urchins, and delicious paccheri stuffed with ricotta and swordfish. We continued with stuffed swordfish rolls and a swordfish steak of the highest quality. Excellent service, with unparalleled friendliness and kindness from the waiters. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommended! We'll be back!

04/10/2025: Beautiful and suggestive place in Punta Pezzo, with a view of the Strait of Messina, very suggestive I had an equally good and exquisite ice cream brioche, served by the barista Giulia who filled me a mega brioche with ice cream and cream, I highly recommend coming to this ice cream shop!!!!

25/07/2025: Sadly not a Pizzeria, but really delicious light savoury snacks served warm. Nice Messina beer. And Fantastic!, Delicious ice creams. Really good service from the people there, especially a helpful young male. Not perfect English spoken, but far, far better than my attempts at Italian.

09/10/2025: We had lunch with my husband and son. The place was welcoming and super clean. The owner, a true Emilian, was extremely kind and clearly served us excellent dishes from her hometown. Highly recommended. My only regret is that I live too far away to be able to return regularly!

01/06/2025: I would have been happy to review the food if only I had been allowed to. Instead, I find myself having to highlight only the absolute lack of professionalism of the structure and its owner who, at the time of booking, made well in advance, GUARANTEED the possibility of gluten-free dishes and then proved to be absolutely incapable of meeting the request. In her opinion, my son (a child) in a place like this (I remember: the TORTELLONE) could have eaten ham and cheese! And I add that I should have brought the celiac bread from home!!! It should not be overlooked that, at the entrance door, without even saying hello, at the mere sight of our French bulldog, we were rudely and impolitely prevented from entering the room. Maybe we would have even eaten well (I have no doubt about it) but catering is made of something else and, needless to say, the basic requirement is education and respect which certainly are not at home here. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND GOING ELSEWHERE. AFTER ALL, THE CALABRIAN TERRITORY OFFERS MANY CERTAINLY BETTER ALTERNATIVES!! Nothing personal, eh!! Everyone takes off their hats!!

12/09/2025: The atmosphere is a bit rustic but offers good service.

31/08/2025: Beautiful evening at Caraoche, friendly staff. Special fried fish, recommended to everyone.

17/10/2025: Very nice rooms, especially if you're in the room with a balcony overlooking Lake Argo, which is very beautiful. Fantastic service, especially from Pietro, so the service is also 5 stars. Extraordinary location.

17/10/2025: Very nice rooms. If you're in the front, you have a view of Lake Arvo, while if you're in the back, you have a view of the forest. Very comfortable and friendly service. The hotel is very close to many attractions (like the Silavventura park). The food is very good.

06/09/2025: I had lunch in this place, excellent food, outdoor tables, excellent for enjoying the dishes, excellent trays of various pizzas

06/09/2025: Excellent bakery. Croissants for one euro and delicious pizza. Reasonable prices.

16/07/2025: It appears open, but it's closed and they don't answer the phone. Today, July 16, 2025

06/07/2025: An excellent pizzeria where you can spend a quiet evening and above all eating really well... We opted for the pizza tour for 20 euros per person which consisted of: appetizer of fried potatoes, hot focaccia and a platter of cold cuts and cheeses and olives, then moving on to his majesty the pizza tasted in 5 different flavors and all excellent, To finish a pizza with Nutella P.s. the pizza tour also includes unlimited water and a soft drink per person. Bravi bravi bravi

20/06/2025: SUBLIME!! IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO COME BACK HERE.

22/03/2025: It was very tasty😍We waited for the order for about 15 minutes and ate it in a couple of minutes😍This is the most delicious pizza I have eaten in restaurants😍 We also live around the corner, 10 steps away! There are always a lot of people here! We already want to come here again😍The pizza is wonderful and the card with cheese is also fire🔥🔥🔥🔥

13/09/2025: Terrible. Price-quality ratio? Absolutely below average. Portions are less than adequate, not to mention the quality. Calabria deserves much better, a region with PGI olive oil, and yet the oil arrives in a sachet... this is a small detail, but truly pitiful.

26/08/2025: I went as a couple to this seafood restaurant, which should be considered a "quick-and-go" restaurant for those passing, unpretentious diners. The prices were high, the food was meager, and the prices were unjustified for the quantity and quality. This is a seafood restaurant where dishes are served with condiments similar to those at self-service restaurants or roadside restaurants, namely in sachets. When I specifically requested quality olive oil, or at least bottled oil, given that I was in a zero-mile area, I was told it wasn't available (which is a must in other nearby restaurants), a sign of poor customer service and a lack of local attention. Not to mention the bread being made of rye or similar, which also doesn't reflect the area and typical local products. I hope the manager takes this review from a customer who experiences restaurants everywhere into constructive consideration. Finding a restaurant in Calabria in the famous town of Diamante, where the typicality of the products makes the difference, would have been highly disappointing. This is true even if I had been in Milan, Bologna, or Trento. This is without taking anything away from these wonderful cities, but in the South, from the South, one expects quality, tradition, and customer care, among many other things, especially in the restaurant and tourism sectors. If we take this away, all we have left is the sea.

03/10/2025: Always a pleasure to eat at Agostino's. I recommend the goat as a second course.

26/09/2025: Really low prices and excellent quantities. The soppressata was good, and especially the prosciutto; I don't know if they're homemade, but they were delicious. The fusilli with pork ragù was also good. I didn't like the mixed antipasti platter or the porcini mushroom-based first course. The house wine was so-so. Attentive service.

09/09/2025: Yes, you really have to drive to Calabria🚵🏼‍♂️ to eat the best pizza😋

30/08/2025: Great pizza, fast service, friendly and helpful service

21/10/2025: Thank you for the delicious pizza. I used to eat there very often 23 years ago. Now I'm just on vacation here in Catona. I'll definitely be back someday and come back for a delicious pizza. Best regards ❤️❤️❤️

31/08/2025: I've always been satisfied with both the food and the punctuality (10-15 minutes), and the pizza is always ready. I recommend it without hesitation.

24/04/2025: Very good and tasty pizza. I would more than happily return. 5 stars deserved

23/04/2025: Good pizza and great atmosphere

04/09/2025: We stayed at this hotel for just one night, passing through the Calabrian mountains. The room had been booked at least twenty days in advance, but I wasn't told that Monday is the restaurant's weekly rest day. The hotel, in fact, functions primarily as a banquet restaurant and, secondarily, as a hotel, mostly for ceremonies with guests traveling and therefore staying for one or more nights. We were therefore greeted by a waiter instructed by the manager to come to the hotel for our arrival. We arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon and were assigned a charming room, all furnished in wood, certainly in a style appropriate for a mid-mountain location like Spadola. However, there was no air conditioning, so it was warm (the sun was shining on it, as you can see in the photo), and it most likely hadn't even been ventilated the night before! Fortunately, the temperature dropped that evening, and the discomfort subsided. The rooms do not have mini-fridges, and the balcony connects to adjacent rooms. This means the shutters must be closed for obvious security reasons, unless someone you trust is staying nearby. The next morning's breakfast was a bit disappointing, as there were no pastries, no other sweets, no yogurt, no fruit, only packaged snacks or biscuits, along with, of course, milk, tea, and coffee. We didn't even have a chance to meet the manager on the day of departure, so we were instructed to pay the waiter who greeted us upon arrival. The hotel is pet-friendly, but I honestly didn't dare take my dog ​​out, as there were three dogs roaming the hotel grounds, and one of them was visibly bothered by my dog. A word of advice to the management...don't offer accommodations on the day the restaurant is closed, because assistance is essential! A warm welcome and customer service can help mitigate any potential shortcomings or even make an already pleasant stay even better. If this is your management policy, given that it was a stay booked well in advance, at least consider offering a more thoughtful breakfast! In all the years we've spent vacationing in Calabria, we've never seen packaged snacks for breakfast, not even in B&Bs, let alone in a hotel that's primarily a restaurant 😕🤔...

08/06/2025: Exceptional! A must visit location for amazing authentic Italian food and very very good steaks...

23/08/2025: The service was adequate, the maître d' was very kind and friendly, but the food, on the other hand, left much to be desired. The grilled meat was burned, and spending €35 for a dish that simply tasted burnt isn't ideal. The caramelized onion tasted too vinegary, the tuna (from the tuna with Tropea onions dish) tasted more like boiled than cooked, and the fried calamari was too tough. Furthermore, you could tell the oil it was fried in wasn't the best, probably having been used too many times. The prices were not in line with the quality of the food served.

19/08/2025: A shabby trattoria, where you eat in a plastic tent with dim lights. The staff is unsuitable for table service, rude and awkward. Meager dishes and exorbitant prices. I ordered paccheri allo scoglio and was served five cold paccheri. Not recommended! Unworthy of the name "fish trattoria."
