I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

14/08/2025: As for the restaurant, we regretted going there.

11/08/2025: Improved service. There's also a small bar and a canteen. Two sun loungers under the cooler cost €25/30.

19/08/2025: Excellent beer, good sandwiches, high prices for what it offers

11/08/2025: I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The staff is friendly, cheerful, and always available to recommend dishes and pairings. (Alessandro, in particular, was able to recommend an excellent beer to accompany my platter.) The food is simply delicious: fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a clear focus on quality. I especially appreciated the perfectly balanced flavors and presentation. Excellent value: here, you pay for quality, and every euro is well spent. I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying gastronomic experience!

15/08/2025: Excellent restaurant, recommended by a local guy, and we were delighted. Excellent food, friendly staff, generous portions. Excellent value.

09/08/2025: Crossing the threshold of Ristoro del Brigante means embarking on a journey through time, where the kitchen is the guardian of ancient stories and traditions passed down from generation to generation. Here, every dish speaks of the authentic Calabria, made with simple, authentic ingredients, crafted with mastery and respect for the region's gastronomic heritage. The potatoes with red onion, golden and fragrant, recall those of peasant kitchens, where slow cooking and patience were essential ingredients. Alongside them, a generous platter of traditional cured meats—from soppressata to capocollo, from pancetta to prosciutto—reflects the bold, unmistakable flavor of traditional preparation, the fruit of ancient knowledge and natural curing that evokes mountains, forests, and pure air. All this is served in a welcoming atmosphere, where time seems to slow down, and every detail—from the rustic dishes to the friendliness of the host—contributes to making the experience a moment of authentic conviviality. Ristoro del Brigante is more than just a restaurant: it's a place where history, culture, and flavor meet, and where every bite becomes a bridge between the present and a past of authenticity, simplicity, and human warmth.

26/08/2025: Excellent pastry shop where you can taste some typical products prepared by the expert hands of the pastry chefs

24/08/2025: One of the best You're always satisfied Good variety of lactose-free ice creams

30/08/2025: The pinsa was excellent and the service was fast. I'm giving it 4 stars simply because my pizza with pistachio cream and buffalo mozzarella wasn't great, but the dough was really good and light.

30/08/2025: My family and I came here because of the large number of customers we could see from outside... I have to say, it didn't disappoint. So, we came back again this year. I had the chance to try both their PINSAGHIOTTO and their tagliata di carne (supposedly entrecote). Amazing. The meat literally melted in your mouth, and they cooked it perfectly rare. The bread for the pinsaghiotto was superb, and I liked the way the octopus was cooked (I've also tried it raw in the past). Yes, there were a few pieces of tentacle that were a little tougher than the others, but nothing unmanageable. And let's remember, this isn't a seafood restaurant ;) The waiters are very kind. Well done. We'll keep coming back! Oh! One last thing: fair prices and generous portions. I almost didn't finish the sandwich.

14/08/2025: Wine shop with interesting niche products

09/08/2025: I'm giving it 5 stars because of the very friendly owner and everything I've tried in two consecutive nights going for dinner. I'd say it's the best place for good, quality food within a mile radius. It's worth getting in the car and trying it out.

03/09/2025: I had the best fried calamari this year: crispy, light, and flavorful. The risotto was also truly special. Overall, excellent quality and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

31/08/2025: Terrible value for money. I wasn't given a receipt, just a piece of paper with the amount paid. This happened to some guys who preceded me at the checkout, so I assume it was standard practice.

13/08/2025: Everything very good, professional and kind staff, even for gluten-free, very well equipped, recommended.

29/05/2025: I go there every day, welcoming, very nice and professional staff..

01/09/2025: Excellent ice cream and a simply delicious croissant!

30/08/2025: Very friendly owners, top service, my kids love going there and so do I.

11/09/2025: Excellent pizza at great prices (gluten-free options available). Both the Neapolitan version with its thick crust and the flatter, crispier "stretched" version are delicious. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. My only criticisms are the sorbet (it's absurd to serve it in a glass without even a spoon) and the rather slow service. It's great that they have a children's area.

10/09/2025: The restaurant is located along the road, near the highway exit. The place is modern and welcoming. The place has placemats with pencils and games for entertainment. The pizza prices vary, as do the flavors. The flavors are unique and delicious. Two types of pizza dough are available; the one with the crust is delicious, but the one is just a little undercooked. We had the white-based pizzas. Overall, I'd say I'd go back.

01/08/2025: Very good food and excellent service, it is located on the seafront of Marina di Gioiosa Ionica, I recommend it to everyone

16/06/2025: Excellent location just steps from the sea. We went for both lunch and dinner and I can say that the food is good even if the quantity plated left something to be desired. A major flaw is the very long wait both for the order and the wait for the various courses. Between the first and second course more or less half an hour and there were few people.

31/08/2025: A place worth visiting for its delicate and surprising cuisine. A welcoming atmosphere.

27/08/2025: This superb place is magical. Every bite is an explosion of flavors. The presentation is a showcase for the dishes savored. The service is perfect. A place to treasure.

01/09/2025: A fantastic place, we loved everything about it. The place is small but very quaint, the food is fantastic, and the service is impeccable. The price? We found it more than fair for the high quality. We'll definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful dining experience!

30/08/2025: Unexpectedly top! Very friendly staff and truly delicious dishes in the heart of the village ✨

03/09/2025: Excellent value for money. We received help and advice in choosing our order and were not disappointed at all.

01/09/2025: excellent service, very kind staff and delicious food!

12/07/2025: Great restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service! We visited several times during our vacation and can highly recommend it! The pizzas and fried calamari are to die for :)

17/06/2025: Very good first courses, The mixed fried fish was also good.
