I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

20/07/2025: Servizio al tavolo molto lento, all esterno eravamo solo due tavoli. Brioches TOP, Gelato buonissimo, uccide tutto il fatto che la brioches resta vuota perchè utilizzano delle micropalline (una per gusto), Distruggono cosi la qualita degli ingredienti non sapendo fare ne un cono gelato ne una brioches gelato (nel cono non mettono le palline). Capisco che è un di luogo di passaggio per turisti, ma per chi sa cos è un gelato come si deve, resta deluso! Se volete godervi l esperienza non andate oltre la coppetta.

17/07/2025: Durante la vacanza siamo stati due volte alla Marinella. Il gelato è favoloso così anche la brioche con il gelato. Anche il salato è buono (focaccia a trancio). Merita di andarci

16/09/2025: Carlino's granitas are historic and delicious, but the organization leaves one a little perplexed.

20/08/2025: TERRIBLE SERVICE! The staff was rude, impolite, and completely unprofessional. We were at a table of five. One of our guests raised his hand to ask if there was table service, and the waitress looked at us, turned away with a disgusted expression, and yelled, "There's no table service." We were treated this way, so we decided to inform the owner, only to be treated arrogantly once again, except for one young man who embarrassedly apologized...

29/11/2025: Today I visited this place with a friend, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to the staff's lack of professionalism. We had ordered desserts and, not having finished them, politely asked to take them away. At that moment, some staff members began laughing in front of us, a behavior we perceived as disrespectful and impolite. I asked if there was a problem, given their inappropriate behavior, and one employee responded unprofessionally, justifying their behavior by saying they had been working for over ten hours and needed to joke. We didn't even receive an apology for what happened. I believe that, despite tiredness or busy days, staff should maintain a respectful attitude towards customers. Unfortunately, this experience ruined our visit, and I hope the place can improve the quality of its service.

14/11/2025: A good aperitif, especially considering the price. The only downside was that one of the people at our table had to wait over half an hour for a mocha.

31/08/2025: Quiet, calm, relaxing place, right by the sea. The hospitality and service are top notch, I recommend it to everyone ❤️

16/08/2025: This beach restaurant was recommended to us by the owner of the house where we were staying, almost as if they were in agreement to recruit people. In fact, without even confirming that we would go (we only decided at the last minute as it was close to the accommodation), when we arrived, the table was already set and ready, while the place was completely empty even though it was already 9:30 PM. Once we were seated, the service was generally quite good, although when we asked for sauces and chili pepper, we were almost ignored and had to ask several times despite the place being completely empty. The food overall was nothing special, quite poor quality for a seaside restaurant where you expect excellent seafood, which we didn't get. The icing on the cake, after having paid an exorbitant amount for what we had eaten, was that when we checked the receipt, the number of dishes consumed wasn't listed, only the total food and drinks. So we decided to ask for the details, and it turned out there was an error of almost €20 more. It's not a big deal for the €20, but the whole thing felt like a rip-off. Absolutely not recommended and should be avoided.

19/11/2025: The very poor menu consists of only 3 sandwiches (by the way, none with bacon), chips and drinks... in the classic one the gherkins covered the other flavors, the bread was burnt on the inside, the cheese one was a little better, the one with the horrible chicken... the chicken under the breading was quite raw... we asked if it was possible to cut the sandwiches in two and they said no and they didn't even have a knife to cut it. We traveled 50 km to try these SMASH but honestly it was a very disappointing experience, the place was cold and very dark, on social media there are images of other dishes but in reality they had nothing... I don't understand how it is possible to be in such a busy place and have practically nothing on the menu.

17/11/2025: The worst burger of my life. The meat is incredibly salty, burnt, and so greasy it makes me sick. They serve it in a paper bag after covering the bun with foil, like not even a kebab shop would. Fresh meat and bread used in the worst way imaginable. Never again, not even for free.

24/10/2025: The mussels... not very fresh, to put it mildly. The rest were average quality. Considering the portion size, it was simply very expensive. The service was okay, but lacked flair and interest. The atmosphere is diminished by the poor food and average service. Maybe it's better in season.

07/10/2025: Scampi main course, €25 Tiramisu - frozen from the supermarket Find another restaurant in Scalea

24/10/2025: An absolutely excellent lunch, which heightened our joy and made this day even more unforgettable. Thanks guys, you're great!

04/10/2025: Well, what can I say. We went there to have dinner on Wednesday night. We were seated at a nice table, with pretty plates on it. We made our picks from the menu. And then it began. We got some bread and water, which wasn't that bad. We had bean soup, which tasted exactly like canned beans with some tomatoes warmed up in a microwave. I even saw them carry the beans in a box that is used to store and freeze food. We had some meatballs that had literally no taste. They were just plain matter lacking everything. We had potatoes with cheese. Ordinary. We had some sort of meat roll - again no taste whatsoever, just plain matter. The meat wasn't even minced, it was mashed, or smashed or whatever. And as a bonus we were being harassed by stray cats during our stay. This was our first and only time in Amantea when we actually didn't finish our food and left the table. Sorry, but this was really bad.

21/10/2025: I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this time I had to. The table wasn't ready despite the restaurant being half-empty, and the service was confusing and rude: we had to argue with the waiter because he took the order from a table that arrived after us. The food was served quickly, but the prices were truly exorbitant for the quality: €20 for a meaningless appetizer. The only positive note was the entrecôte, which was good and well-cooked, accompanied by fries. Unfortunately, the typical Sila hospitality was lacking here.

12/10/2025: Excellent, super-fresh dishes. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Reservations are recommended because the restaurant is (rightly) very popular. Greetings from Crotone and thanks again.

15/09/2025: Now I understand why you have to read reviews. It's all bad, that's an understatement.

15/09/2025: Rude staff, horrible ice cream with a higher price than normal, a terrible experience, it can't even be described, never happened to me in all that I've traveled all over the world, an incredible rudeness.

27/08/2025: Delicious pizza, well-made. There's a wide variety of pizzas, a spacious and quiet place, and friendly and discreet staff. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a pleasant evening away from the chaos of the city.

19/08/2025: Excellent pizza! It's a shame we had to wait over half an hour for a single takeout pizza, and the place was almost empty. Nonetheless, the deliciousness of the pizza made up for the long wait.

16/07/2025: Con affaccio sulla spiaggia. Esperienza positivissima! Ottima la pizza. Il pizzaiolo ci ha proposto pizza "corona " con cornicione ripieno. Davvero buonissima! Torneremo ancora per mangiare pesce. Personale gentilissimo Ottimo anche il conto. Lo consiglio.

16/07/2025: Il ristorante è molto invitante, il personale gentile e cordiale, la "pizza del pizzaiolo" gustosa e originale. Molto accogliente

25/08/2025: The beach with its own restaurant, which I reviewed separately, is welcoming and well-run! Comfortable and affordable! As is the restaurant! It's hard to find a place in August, with such affordable prices and such comprehensive service! Congratulations!

10/08/2025: Never again! For a Greek salad (which didn't even have all the ingredients) more than 50 minutes. Unbelievable. To pay €10 for it with four tomatoes.

29/09/2025: I was there with my family and we had by far the best experience. This restaurant has been operating by the same family for over 100 years.

07/09/2025: Excellent mussel soup, good mixed fried fish, fresh fish, I would recommend reviewing the ordering process.

26/09/2025: Maxbar is an absolute gem in Tropea! The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, you instantly feel at ease. Perfectly located with outstanding service that makes every visit memorable. Huge thanks to Massimo, Evelyn, and the whole team for their wonderful hospitality. I’ll definitely be returning and if you go, don’t miss out on the Jakus Margarita, it’s exceptional!

16/09/2025: For a great afternoon drink, a welcoming smile. Perfect.
