I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

26/08/2025: Terrible service, I don't recommend it.

20/08/2025: Polite and kind, complete with all services.

12/10/2025: Both the pizza and the rotisserie are excellent. The owner is friendly and helpful.

30/08/2025: We sat down in the square in August at 8:45 PM, 11 of us. Orders were taken piecemeal and served haphazardly: first food without drinks, then half-finished drinks, and finally—when everyone had already finished—our celiac friend's gluten-free pizza, which he ate alone. Bread never arrived, drinks forgotten, pizzas from those who hadn't eaten never seen, despite numerous promises of preferential passage of our order (perhaps for the next day). The menu stated that a platter was "minimum for two people" at €32, but the staff's explanation was a puzzle: when we said there were eight of us, we were told that four platters was not enough; when we ordered five, we discovered that the platters were actually charged "per person" and not "per couple." In fact, the "platter for eight" had five pieces of each, so three people were left to watch. The menu was poorly written, and the order management was even worse. One of us, after being told several times that the pizza we'd chosen from the menu wasn't available, had to impatiently ask them to decide which pizza was available. The service was surreal: a single waiter (presumably the owner) would take the orders, leave them unfinished, and disappear for long minutes, while the others watched. When we complained, the owner never admitted a mistake: he told us that "you must have misunderstood, or I misunderstood," and urged us to stay calm "because I even gave you a front-row table to watch the concert," all with a joke that was more than out of place. Final justification? "It's chaotic in August, and it's a special night." With the square full but only 50 people in the dining room, it's pure incompetence; the chaos wasn't in his restaurant: if you don't know how to manage, you reduce the seating. In the end, we paid €20 each, including those who didn't eat. Disorganized, slow, arrogant, and even ironic about complaints: a disaster to be avoided!

14/08/2025: We ordered two pizzas, a Margherita and a Diavola with 'nduja, and were pleasantly surprised by their melt-in-your-mouth crust! The owner was incredibly kind and friendly, and we even met the pizza chef and congratulated him in person. This will definitely be our go-to pizzeria for our next trips to Palmi! Greetings from the Syracusans!! Sara and Gioele

26/10/2025: The restaurant is located atop Mount Sant'Elia, offering spectacular views of Mount Etna, Vulcano, and Stromboli. The restaurant is welcoming, and the dishes are tasty, appetizing, and well-portioned. The paccheri with swordfish sauce are excellent. The staff is friendly. Parking is free on the street in front of the restaurant. Recommended...

16/10/2025: We spontaneously stopped by this afternoon after a hike and had a super delicious vegetarian appetizer with delicious bread. Absolutely fantastic! We've never had anything like it before! My daughter had spaghetti with tomato sauce and was also completely blown away. If we ever come back, we'll definitely go there!

11/11/2025: Buono come bar per intrattenimento per tutte le età, ottimo posto di ritrovo per giovani, tv musica e divertimento, sala biliardo e calcio balilla, si può mangiare, e bere birra, angolo slot riservato, completa la struttura la pizzeria , anche da asporto e consegna a domicilio, ottimo servizio e prezzi contenuti, consiglio la sera come punto di ritrovo e conoscere gente nuova. Nel contesto è un ottimo locale, tranquillo.

10/10/2025: Very good food. The atmosphere could be a bit warmer.

18/10/2025: We were on vacation in Capo Rizzuto off-season, early October, a desert. Not knowing where to have dinner, we looked around, but everything was closed. We found this restaurant, and we had a good, large pizza, just the way I like it. The only downside was the waiter, who was enthralled by the game, didn't come to us. The place is large and very nice.

04/10/2025: This place is okay for pizza. We didn't enjoy the antipasti and other main courses as much. The service could be friendlier. The ambiance is very spartan.

09/06/2025: Terrible experience, they make you pay for the cakes in advance because there are surprises in the price, I took a 4 kg cake they made it wedding style with very high tiers, 4 kg of sugar paste cake with just a few flowers I paid 230 euros, they told me that the prices have increased, but when I went to order they told me that it was 30 euros per kg. Really unfair, terrible final surprise, there was a piece of plastic in the cake given to a guest and the taste was really bad. Terrible experience. Never again!

12/05/2025: You can only enjoy a good coffee when the kids are present, because in other cases the coffee is rancid, has a burnt taste and causes catastrophic effects on the stomach. Maybe they should learn to bleed the machine between one coffee and another... without taking anything away from the older generation

23/08/2025: We had dinner in 7 waiting time almost an hour... for the pizza the dough was good but not enough toppings... peppered mussels and good seafood salad... fried fish mediocre!

15/08/2025: The pizza was delicious and everything was good and the staff were very welcoming.

10/10/2025: Dinner with my wife, shame about the excessive quantity but the quality

25/09/2025: Typical family-run cuisine in a very interesting setting

20/06/2025: Con la mia compagna abbiamo scoperto questo luogo fantastico accogliente cibo superlativo poi ottima carbonara veramente da Oscar consigliatissimo alta qualità complimenti ritorneremo

09/06/2025: Locale che offre prodotti di altissima qualità, vasta scelta e accoglienza familiare, consiglio vivamente a tutti di venire a provare la loro cucina e confermare tutto ciò.

15/04/2025: Nice little bar in Nicotera. There's good outdoor seating and a wonderful view of Nicotera Bay. The coffee was hot and good. The lady who served us was friendly and accommodating. All in all, a good stay.

05/11/2025: Today we stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while cycling. Our usual bar, right across the street, was under renovation. We were planning on stopping just for an aperitivo, which was a no-brainer. We ordered two Aperol Spritzes accompanied by four delicious bruschettas on the house. Our palates were immediately won over, so we also decided to try a pasta dish with fresh porcini mushrooms: simply delicious! The staff was very kind and attentive. The prices are slightly higher than traditional restaurants, but the ambiance, service, quality, and presentation of the dishes are absolutely worth it. We'll definitely be back!

23/09/2025: Nobel Prize-winning pistachio paccheri... 'Nduja paccheri are also delicious!!! We'll definitely be back.... See you next year!!! Thank you so much 😉

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.
