I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

20/07/2025: A Michelin-starred experience that engages all the senses! In the heart of Lamezia Terme lies a small gem of haute cuisine: the Luigi Lepore restaurant, named after its Michelin-starred chef. The location is intimate, cozy, and meticulously crafted: limited seating, but meticulous attention to detail. You'll be welcomed by the chef's sister, a professional and knowledgeable figure, who will gently guide you through the menu and expertly recommend wine pairings. The attention to detail is impeccable, discreet, and never intrusive. The gastronomic journey proposed by the chef is truly incredible: you eat not just with your mouth, but with all five senses. The dishes speak to you through sight, smell, texture, and taste... and they excite you. Everything is delicious, from appetizers to dessert. Each course is carefully crafted, unique, the result of research that highlights the flavors and aromas of the local area. This is precisely the heart of his cuisine: local ingredients, lovingly selected raw materials, transformed into unique experiences that tell the story of Calabria in a contemporary way. A gastronomic journey that lingers in the heart and on the palate. A fully deserved star for cuisine that knows how to excite.

25/06/2025: The only thing that can surpass the quality of the dishes is the attentive service offered by the restaurant manager. Compliments.

25/09/2025: Beautiful, cozy lido with fantastic views and very friendly staff.

18/08/2025: Absolutely delicious and very nice, simple yet friendly atmosphere. My fritto misto and Aperol Spritz were absolutely delicious. The waiter was very attentive to my garlic and onion allergies. Thank you so much, guys. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, simple but without any of the negative or presumptuous attitude I had previously encountered at Undamaris, but thanks to them I discovered Covo del Barone.

28/08/2025: Excellent ice creams, granitas, and pastries. The mini ice creams are large, tasty, and delicious. Spacious space with several tables.

24/08/2025: Excellent desserts but if you go for breakfast at 10 you won't find much.

03/10/2025: Renovated place.....very welcoming....its sandwiches always delicious

13/09/2025: We visited this pub in the center of Lamezia Terme, tastefully decorated in an English style and located near the main street. The venue offers both an indoor dining area and a small outdoor area, both well-maintained and tidy. The menu is varied, especially known for its sandwiches, salads, fried foods, and appetizers. We ordered mozzarella fries, potato croquettes, and two sandwiches: everything was delicious, simple, and well-prepared. The staff is kind and friendly, always available to recommend the best options. You can accompany your dishes with draft beers (including Guinness) or choose from a wide selection of bottled beers, and they also offer cocktails. Overall, it's a nice and welcoming place, perfect for spending an evening with friends or enjoying a quiet spot. The quality-price ratio is fair.

03/10/2025: Simple dishes based on traditional Calabrian cuisine. Simple but delicious, especially thanks to all the fresh ingredients used in the preparation. The owner is very friendly. A great place for a good meal.

30/09/2025: As soon as you enter, you're immediately struck by the beauty of the setting: meticulously crafted, elegant yet welcoming, with a warm and pleasant atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The staff is extraordinary: always smiling, friendly, and helpful, ready to offer professional advice without ever being intrusive. You feel truly pampered from start to finish. The pizza is exceptional, made with fresh, quality ingredients, with a light and digestible dough that makes you want to try them all. The other dishes on the menu are also excellent, carefully crafted and beautifully presented. A perfect place for both a dinner with friends and a special evening. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back!

19/09/2025: Let's start by saying that it was a new culinary experience for us. We had never tried meat sushi. Excellent advice from the owner, who looked after us throughout the dinner without being intrusive. Excellent service, high-quality, aged meat, and various alternatives to best satisfy curious customers. It was a wonderful evening. We'll be back, perhaps at our next location. Best wishes for everything.

30/08/2025: Very good food and impeccable service! I was truly impressed by the quality of the meat sushi. Furthermore, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. A culinary experience I highly recommend to everyone!

20/09/2025: I ordered a gourmet octopus sandwich, whose ingredients list included grilled octopus. My sandwich arrived with cold octopus salad inside—the kind you'd find in seafood salad, so to speak. Feeling mocked, I went to the waitress to tell her the grilled octopus hadn't arrived. Then another woman, I assumed the owner, came over and told me they grilled the octopus anyway, but since it wasn't a seafood restaurant, I couldn't expect fresh octopus. I pointed out that I didn't expect fresh octopus, and that it could have been frozen and grilled. I felt doubly mocked because she reiterated that the octopus had been grilled when it had clearly come out of the fridge. Not content, the woman also asked me, in a less than pleasant tone, "So what should I put in the sandwich?" Are you kidding? Not only do you not apologize or admit your grave error, but you also respond rudely and arrogantly? If you don't know/want to handle fish, don't put it on the menu, and you definitely shouldn't contradict a customer who politely pointed something out to you, because you didn't make a good impression. I definitely won't be back.

27/08/2025: Upon entering this pizzeria, I immediately had a pleasant feeling: a very, very clean environment, cared for with the attention and order found in a home. The dining room isn't huge, but it's immaculately kept, with simple furnishings typical of a country pizzeria, understated yet tastefully done. It's not a place that focuses on elaborate details, yet it exudes warmth and care. The staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable, always ready to offer advice. But the real star is the pizza: a truly amazing dough, light and flavorful. I tried a special pinza, topped with garlic oil and Colonnata lard, and I must say it was extraordinary. A recommended pairing that turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. One detail that really struck me was the open kitchen: impeccable, tidy, and spotless, just like the rest of the place. Not everyone can match that. I was surprised, however, to see the place almost empty on a Friday evening. With prices absolutely in line with the market and such high quality, it makes you think about how often we choose more commercial and less authentic places. Here, however, you immediately sense the expertise of those who have studied and know their craft, as the numerous awards hanging on the walls confirm. In conclusion, a truly worthwhile place: top-notch quality, a welcoming atmosphere, and competent staff. It's definitely worth a try.

18/09/2025: I stop at this restaurant for lunch about once a month. From my experience, I can say they have an excellent lunch menu, including a very good fish selection, and very reasonable prices (€12-14).

18/09/2025: Went there by chance. Very cute and welcoming little place. Exceptional pizza. Well done.

30/08/2025: Excellent pizza. Friendly and professional staff, always available to offer advice and attentive to customer requests.

22/08/2025: A trattoria with a refined and welcoming atmosphere. The food is top-quality, with unforgettable flavors. A big shout-out to the young woman in glasses who took orders and served the tables; she single-handedly handled the entire dining room with impeccable professionalism.

29/09/2025: A great place to shop, but the mall literally the stores in the mall do not open until one. The mall is open for you to grocery shop, but they should separate those from the actual clothing store hours !!

23/09/2025: Good shopping center, the only flaw in the supermarket is that they don't accept loyalty cards if purchased in another region...

18/10/2025: Excellent pizza...excellent meat, congratulations, we'll be back

18/10/2025: Great experience, and thanks to Rocco, everything was perfect. He's a great guy and very quick to fulfill our requests. Highly recommended.

12/09/2025: Excellent pizza oven 🍕 rotisserie! I had two arancini with mortadella and pistachios, delicious, they melt in your mouth, delicious! I highly recommend it, of course.

10/09/2025: Went Wednesday morning for the first time, pizza stuffed with tuna, cherry tomatoes and olives was great! Pizza with chicken salad was excellent! Fried foods were also delicious! You have a new customer!!! Well done 👏💪

04/10/2025: Always excellent pizza, served with a smile and helpfulness.

24/08/2025: From the lovely venue, to the welcoming staff, to the good food, all the pride and passion the owner has for this place shines through. I wish I could have posted some photos, but after a whole day of hiking we devoured everything in no time! 😅

23/09/2025: Nothing special except the new Primark opening. It's always been disappointing.

22/09/2025: With the opening of Primark, the only store in Calabria, excellence is consolidated
