I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

06/10/2025: I don't understand the 3.4 rating. I had very, very good penne with tomato sauce, and my wife had very tasty macaroni with prawns. I thought the food was excellent, and the prices were OK, too...

29/09/2025: We had delicious fresh seafood, and the hosts were very friendly and served us very well! The lemon sorbet was amazing! Thank you!

30/03/2025: Dirty place with nothing. Must be closed.

23/03/2025: Inviting, private setting with live music, fun and enjoyable evening. Pizza? And I've eaten better but it's okay. Ample outdoor parking and, as mentioned, a pleasant early evening. Place to revisit from time to time.

02/09/2025: Good food but too long to wait.

26/08/2025: I give this place 2 stars for the food, 3 stars for the service, 1 star for the atmosphere, terrible, terrible, terrible place!

12/10/2025: Horrible experience. We went for dinner and were very hungry, we were said we have to wait for pizza for about 30 mins, so we decided to order fries to eat smthg before the pizzas will be ready. The fries came after the pizza, we said we don’t want them anymore since it’s already too late and asked to cut the pizza into slices. The blond waiter said that fries are already prepared and she will not take them back, and in this case to cut pizza will take her 10 mins ( she knew we were waiting for the order more than 30 mins, and we are hungry and we would just eat those fries). This looked really ugly and she spoiled the mood to all of us. At the bar after complaints they removed the fries from the bill, but there was a big bottle of water on the bill that they put on the table without even asking us ( we didn’t order). They spoiled our evening.

19/09/2025: Stunning location, with a wonderful sea view. I had a truly wonderful dinner, immersed in a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The pizza was truly excellent, the service was quick, and the waiters were kind and efficient. Nothing to complain about, an experience that tastes of Reggio and the sea. P.S. If you find a knife in the plant, it's mine ❤️

16/09/2025: I'm only reviewing the food since I stopped in for a quick lunch. Service was quick; my dish arrived about 3 minutes after ordering. I had a caprese salad and a Nastro beer. I would have expected a slightly larger portion than the caprese, given that it cost me €10. Still, it was good. The tomato sauce was plain. A fairly light dish. You can sit down after 3:00 PM, since I arrived a few minutes late. Coffee included. All for €14.

03/09/2025: A good bar, with excellent coffees and cocktails.

24/08/2025: You should just be ashamed!!!!! We ordered 4 zeppole, two eggplant fritters, a capricciosa pizza, and a beef burger sandwich, cheddar salad and bacon (I had the mayonnaise and ketchup removed which were listed on the menu), a large water and a Moretti beer.... we had to pay 21 euros... at the cashier we paid 24.50... they increased the sandwich from 5 to 8 euros and the pizza from 4.50 to 5 euros... when I complained that on the downloaded PDF menu and on the one hanging on the wall outside there was a different price, they replied that it was old and needed to be updated.... it's a shame that those who were Calabrian and paid before us had paid the price that was written everywhere. If you are on holiday in Locri and therefore you are not Calabrian, do not go to Poldo, you could have unpleasant surprises because the price suddenly changes... I would have paid you not only the 3 euros more... since I am on holiday I do not care about the euro ...but for the fooling, take someone else. Shame.

23/08/2025: I don't recommend it. The prices displayed both on the sign outside and those you scan with the code aren't real. When you go to pay, you end up with a different amount. I ask for information on the bill and am told the prices are up to date. I hope law enforcement does its job and checks out these scammers who inflate prices without updating the menu. Being fooled like this is truly shameful.

27/08/2025: I bought a cappuccino to take with a croissant, they only gave me the 🥄 which melted and they forgot to add the milk

10/05/2025: Last Christmas I purchased an artisanal chocolate panettone with Nutella biscuits. I never thought it would be this good! We made a great impression on the guests and the product lasted from "Natali a Santu Stefanu"

29/09/2025: Very poor quality/price ratio, objectively, I'm sorry.

27/08/2025: when you go to corigliano/schiavonea, the stop at gigi is mandatory every year

29/09/2025: I booked a table for two for lunch; they welcomed us and brought us some truly excellent and delicious appetizers while we waited. Next, we ordered a Tropea tartare appetizer (many compliments both for the quality of the meat and the truly excellent preparation) and omakase nigiri. For our first course, we had a very special but, above all, rich and delicious carbonara. Finally, we opted for a Prussian heifer and a Podolica tagliata, both with a side of baked potatoes and a bottle of Ciro' Rosso. The fillet was truly tender and excellent, nothing more to say... simply excellent 🤩 I highly recommend this experience to everyone, at least once in their life 🥰 P.S. Attached are photos of the appetizers, the Tropea tartare, the omakase nigiri, and the Podolica tagliata.

27/07/2025: I'm a Wagyu beef producer. This customer ordered €1,700 worth of meat. After delivery, he was the one who initially responded to my messages: he told me the meat was excellent and that he wanted to collaborate further, and he was already placing a second order. I said, "Pay me the first order first." From then on, he kept saying over the phone or via WhatsApp, "I'll pay you now, send me the invoice again, so I can sort it out..." but nothing! Just lies! I strongly advise all suppliers to be very careful.

21/08/2025: A charming place with knowledgeable and always available staff. Just a few kilometers from Italy's most beautiful beaches.

20/05/2025: When you are captivated by nature and human warmth, where peace prevails and the smell of homemade food envelops you, where you feel like a private guest... it's here, magical, dreamy, unique, come and experience this review.

30/08/2025: Take three random, disorganized, tactless, and polite people, put them in charge of a crowded space with chairs and tables (alas, in the town's main square), and you'll find yourself at the Stardust. There were 10 of us when we arrived at this completely empty place—a godsend, some might think...but no. The incompetence in taking the order (6 beers, 2 gin and tonics, and 2 Cokes) was hard to understand. We ordered platters as an appetizer and then wanted sandwiches...but they hadn't run out. We asked what else we could eat and were told they mainly serve drinks, not food. Well...then allow me 2 pieces of advice: 1st, remove the food category from your menu, and especially the blackboard in plain sight with platters, sandwiches, and fried foods written on it. 2. If you only want to serve drinks, at least try to do that well, since when we asked for a second and third round of drinks, you rudely, annoyed, and arrogantly told us we were wasting your time going back and forth. I'm sorry, gentlemen, but that's not how things are done. You should change your profession.

29/08/2025: The owner is kind... with these prices, he's also unpleasant. Besides the poor quality of the cocktails. You're taking away the pleasure of going out for an aperitif. On vacation, it's nice to visit places and go on excursions. Even going out for a meal or an aperitif, often convinces people to buy drinks at the supermarket and do it in their apartment. Make cocktails or aperitifs. You're also taking away the pleasure of going out for an aperitif. Absurd.

14/09/2025: The atmosphere is not bad, we ordered a traditional Neapolitan pizza, it turned out that it was baked not in the oven but in the oven and was half raw. Even the Italians who were leaving asked if we liked it and said that the pizza was terrible. The waiters are quite unfriendly

26/08/2025: Good bar, but could become excellent with improved service... given its perfect location in the heart of Santa Lucia.

26/08/2025: An experience so surreal it seemed like a comedy sketch... if it hadn't been real. We were kicked out of the tavern for no clear reason, with anything but courteous manners. The welcome? Nonexistent. The politeness? Lost among the daily specials. In an era when restaurants should focus entirely on hospitality and quality service, here they have confidently chosen the opposite path. If you're looking for good food accompanied by a human and civilized atmosphere, look elsewhere. Here, they serve (perhaps) warm dishes, but decidedly cold hearts.

09/08/2025: Dishes are prepared based on market-sourced fish. Some dishes can be customized. Meatballs, fried anchovies, and mussels are highly recommended.

16/08/2025: Think of it as Zero Stars! There were nine of us, two of whom didn't order anything. This was enough to unleash the owner's ire, who asked them to leave in a rather questionable manner, saying, "If you don't order anything, you get up and leave. In my place, you follow my rules..." At which point we were forced to leave, all astonished, but above all disappointed, by the lack of professionalism the owner showed towards a group of young people, gesticulating rudely. Do you realize we're in 2025? Do you think hospitality in Calabria still deserves this embarrassment? You'll never see me again, nor my friends, nor anyone else to whom I will strongly advise against this place, ditto Nicastro. In response to the owner's comment: You should tell me if you've ever seen, in any other place, a group of twenty-five-year-olds order ONLY BOTTLES OF WATER! I wonder if the management license was granted by the Lamezia municipal administration or by the Marinella consortium. I'm shocked by your behavior that evening and your response to my review. Apparently, your customers are lying. Good work!

06/08/2025: Totally disappointed by the owner's unprofessional, questionable, and at times arrogant behavior. The way he treated us was insane, just because someone at the table decided not to order alcohol. But how do you do that in 2025?
