I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

04/11/2025: Great and cheap location but really old toilet building and showers. A shame as it has the potential to be beautiful

26/10/2025: First of all, I must say that the facility, the restaurant staff (Filomena, Francesca, Elisabetta, Saverio, Mario, and all the others), as well as the kind lady at the kiosk and her husband, etc., do an excellent job and are always friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the prices are average. This review concerns only the very, very poor entertainment, especially the incompetent and miserable puppet gigolo. He has a rude attitude that is inappropriate for this facility. He openly insults guests and, under the guise of being funny, makes fun of everyone. In 40 years, I have never seen anything like it, especially not in Calabria. This person should be fired immediately and should not be paid for his squalid behavior. The other ladies and gentlemen in blue uniforms were rather soporific and neither entertained nor motivated. They spent more time at the pool than anywhere else. I would not have entrusted my children to any of these people. We would return, but only if there were a friendly and respectful staff again (such as in the summer of 2023 or 2024). Then we would be happy to upgrade our rating.

29/06/2025: If you are looking for a restaurant with a spectacular view, this is the place to be. Unfortunately, the magic ends there. We showed up at the restaurant without a reservation, with the intention of enjoying an aperitif at sunset. The staff sat us at a table. Everything seemed to be going well until another member of staff approached our table with a confused and embarrassed expression. They explained to us, in a hesitant tone, that there had been a mistake and that our table was actually reserved. Their concern was obvious: they did not know how to handle the situation. They did not tell us to leave immediately, but the message was clear: as soon as the real people with reservations arrived, we would have to get up and leave the place. This situation made us uncomfortable. Not only was the mistake theirs, but they unloaded the responsibility for a problem that they should have handled professionally on us. For the rest of the time, we felt unsteady, ready to be "evicted" at any moment. The uncertainty and embarrassment completely ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing evening. For us, the evening was ruined. The experience was humiliating and the treatment received was unacceptable, especially in a place that presents itself as being of a certain level. The view is not worth the arrogance and lack of professionalism of the staff. I strongly advise against this place to anyone looking not only for a beautiful view, but also a minimum of respect and courtesy.

26/04/2025: Disappointing, out of three pizzas ordered, two were wrong, of which the Margherita with buffalo mozzarella was marked as diavola so it also arrived very spicy.

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

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.

25/10/2025: The food is disgusting. They sell supermarket-style pre-pizza pizzas: inedible. The toasted pizza was fried; we had to throw it away. Only good for a snack.

26/09/2025: One of the best beach bars in Italy! Very friendly, familiar & very good food and drinks! Ask for the Salsiccia Hot Dog! #thetallguyfromgermania

25/08/2025: I'm sorry, but I pay €3.50 for a beer at your place (instead of €1.20 at the market) ...to eat a hot pizza, not a cold one, especially since the pizzas you make when eaten cold are absolutely disgusting. The only way to eat them hot is to try to remember that, because you've lost another customer. Kind regards.

01/08/2025: Unfortunately, miss, not only did you get the bill wrong, but you weren't even polite enough to say "sorry."

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.

14/05/2025: Freshly prepared food, reasonable prices. Excellent grilled soy spaghetti

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.

25/09/2025: Excellent selection, everything delicious, large space, lots of tables. Just off the highway, very convenient.

14/09/2025: Extremely inflated prices and rude staff

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

05/10/2025: Disappointing service and poor customer service. From the welcome to the small details, to serious oversights: dishes were served without bread or condiments, arriving only after repeated requests and a wait of over 10 minutes. Two dishes were served without the expected chicken breast, but it was still charged to the bill, without any explanation. The final price was inflated by questionable items, such as bottled water evidently refilled from the tap. Children's entertainment is either nonexistent or completely neglected. On a Saturday night with the restaurant half-empty, one would expect at least some attention and care: a decisive change in mentality is needed.
