I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

22/03/2026: The fish is very fresh. The dishes are tasty and well-balanced. Excellent service and a very relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend them ☺️

01/03/2026: We waited an hour for three appetizers. They arrived and we found a hair inside. We got up and left.

13/01/2026: Ristorante Villa Rustica is one of the best and most popular restaurants in the entire region. A truly authentic and traditional Italian restaurant, it combines excellent Italian cuisine with a genuine Italian atmosphere. The ambiance is pure Italy. Friendly and welcoming staff are as much a part of the experience as the delicious food. We were a large group, and everyone was thrilled with the food and the restaurant itself. A 10 out of 10! 🫶

16/12/2025: Delicious food, accomodating staff and beautiful interior.

26/02/2026: It was a very pleasant lunch, excellent wine, fresh and perfectly cooked fish! Thank you Roberto!

18/11/2025: Fresh and tasty fish-based lunch

27/01/2026: Wonderful villa overlooking the sea, welcomed by the owners Carlo and Chiara, two very kind people ready to accommodate you and satisfy your needs. I personally am celiac and they did not let me miss anything and did not make me feel different from the other diners by serving me the same naturally gluten-free dishes. Highly recommended for spending a weekend in total relaxation as the property has well-furnished rooms.

07/01/2026: Amazing lunch with friends. We were greeted with friendly faces and plenty of banter. The food could not have been better as well as the view and the price. Would definitely recommend!

06/04/2026: Street Good, Scilla: Where the sea meets the perfect "scarpetta" (soup)! ​If you're looking for an authentic spot in Scilla, away from the frills and all about substance, make a note of this name. Street Good is proof that you don't need crystal glasses to enjoy an A+ experience. ​What you absolutely can't miss: ​Imperial Peppered Mussels: A name, a guarantee. It's so good that "scarpetta" (soup) in the sauce isn't an option, it's a moral obligation! Bring bread reinforcements. ​Spaghetti with Mussels: Simply unmissable, perfectly cooked and flavorful. ​Mixed Fried Fish: Crispy calamari and shrimp, dry and super fresh. ​The "mood" of the place: ​The format is clear: little show, lots of substance. ​Service: Friendly, easy-going, and above all, fast. ​Location: Quaint and unpretentious. You eat with plastic plates and cutlery, and the wine list is basic, but honestly? That's fine. You come here for the pure taste of the sea. Bill: The value for money is simply superb. Expert tip: The place is small and seats are limited. Don't tempt fate: pick up the phone and make a reservation if you don't want to sit around watching others mop up the sauce! Final rating: Highly recommended!

16/03/2026: An authentic place that delights with flavor and quality. The menu is short, and that's a good thing, because there's nothing to overthink. We had the frittura di pesce, grilled swordfish, and spaghetti with pistachio pesto and shrimp—all delicious! I'm delighted, because among the multitude of touristy restaurants, this one shines with authenticity. Complimenti ragazzi!

08/03/2026: I often go there to enjoy excellent slices of cake or plum cake and brioche col tuppo... the last time I was there I wanted to try something savory and chose an arancini, which turned out to be nothing good... definitely made many hours in advance and also costing 4 euros, definitely out of line and, as mentioned, of poor quality. The service and staff are very improvised... it's a shame because the place is truly beautiful. I'll go back, but never to a rotisserie again...

07/03/2026: Trendy place and good quality products.

20/04/2026: It was a truly wonderful experience. The food was top-quality, with fresh, carefully crafted, and flavorful dishes that showcase local cuisine. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, perfect for enjoying the evening. Special thanks to Domenico, the waiter and the owner's son, for his kindness and attentiveness, and to Mr. Pino, the owner, for his warm welcome. A high-quality place, absolutely recommended!

19/04/2026: Terrible experience. Very low-quality food, sky-high prices. Those prices are asking for when the fish is fresh. 30 euros for a grilled fish with a mini tuna steak, half a slice of swordfish, a completely raw and inedible salmon steak, inedible cuttlefish, and inedible prawns and scampi. We're talking about all the frozen goods except the salmon, which could have been considered fresh. The bill was a whopping 270 euros, and they even charged the 3/4-year-olds a cover charge, who didn't even eat dinner. THE OLD MANAGEMENT WAS A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER. A ADVICE?? AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

08/04/2026: I recommend it. A regular stop every time we go to Calabria. The pizza is excellent. Low prices, high quality. Clean place and friendly staff. We had the hamburgers, which were really good. I recommend trying "nato con la camicia." The fried foods were delicious. Wide selection of beers. Plenty of parking on site. Average prices. I recommend it.

26/02/2026: The food was very good, but it was a shame about the way they treated us regarding the bill. Not only did they charge us more than we consumed, but they also gave us a receipt for a much lower amount than we actually paid.

29/12/2025: Best ice cream I’ve ever had! I had to come back for a second one. First I tried dark chocolate and hazelnut, and then Ricotta and Pistachio. My friend got strawberry and Fior di latte. All of them MAGNIFIC!! Sooooooo good!!!

02/11/2025: We spotted this place on the way to Lake Cecita and decided to stop on the way back. It was a great choice! The gelato 🍦 we ate here was a dream, one of the best I've ever had, especially the raspberry flavor and all the berry flavors. You can tell they're made with truly fresh fruit! Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop by again to enjoy this delicious gelato, in a truly welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

25/09/2025: I had booked a table for six at Trattoria Ceravolo a full five days before the dinner. I had also made sure a typical Catanzaro dish was available, so that colleagues from out of the region could try it. Arriving promptly at 8:30 PM, we found the shutter halfway down. The door was still open, and there were six or seven people inside who, in a rude manner, kept telling me the restaurant was closed, ignoring the fact that I had a reservation. Only by raising my voice did I manage to explain myself, and eventually the owner's son intervened, confirming the closure due to an injury. I fully understand that unforeseen circumstances can happen, but failing to notify customers with a confirmed reservation is unacceptable. In my opinion, simply because they had no other customers, they chose to close. In any case, the result was a terrible impression on my colleagues and a ruined evening. Such unprofessional behavior is inexcusable: a reputable establishment, if closed, should remain closed to everyone, and above all, it must have the integrity to notify those who have booked.

07/12/2025: What can I say? The pizza is truly excellent, as is everything else, but the service is truly terrible, in my opinion. They wouldn't let me book for two people because, "If there's just two of you, we'll find you a table right away, no need to book." As a result, I was given a table near the door on a very cold evening, and I had to dine in my jacket. It's a shame, because the ingredients are truly delicious.

07/12/2025: We call to make a reservation (there are 3 of us), and they tell us it's not possible, there are only a few of us.... Well, On the menu they say they make 100% whole wheat pizzas. They say they ran out of dough (at 8:00 PM), well.... 3 stars, and I'm generous.

06/01/2026: EXCELLENT PIZZA 🍕.. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FIXED STOP... WITH EVERY BITE ACCI... PIZZA WHAT A PIZZA.. GREAT

04/11/2025: Very friendly and welcoming service! Excellent food.

18/03/2026: The food was too salty for both me and my friends....but the quality of the fish was excellent.

22/02/2026: Warm welcome, good service. The food is very good, cooked with great care. Good value for money. The owner is very courteous and attentive.

06/04/2026: Fantastic location, eating overlooking the harbor with the sea breeze was fantastic. The only major flaw was the quantity of food: paying €20 for a first course (ravioli), which tasted like nothing to write home about, but putting just five on a plate is no problem. Order the linguine, at least you'll eat a little more. Nothing to complain about the service, and I recommend the tiramisu.

01/02/2026: Everything was delicious, from appetizers to desserts. Impeccable service. Highly recommended.

03/12/2025: A place to feel good and enjoy pizza and homemade dishes.

09/11/2025: Beautiful, authentic, and 100% homely place. I recommend it.
