I migliori ristoranti in Calabria

30/11/2025: A historic pastry shop in Bagnara Calabra, famous for its nougat. I stopped by on Saturday, November 22nd, and purchased 3kg of Christmas nougat. My favorites are the soft and hard ostiato versions. I sampled several other flavors, all excellent. The price is €33 per kilo, well worth it.

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.

09/08/2025: Cozy and quiet place. Excellent pizza. Kind and attentive staff. Try it and believe it

04/05/2025: Abbiamo festeggiato la laurea di mio figlio.Bellissima la location dove nel giardino esterno i bambini si sono divertiti in massima sicurezza. Cibo preparato con ottimi ingredienti e titolari garbati e accoglienti. Grazie di tutto 💗

28/06/2025: Nice location but insufficient service. The night I went (we were celebrating a birthday) two waitresses were objectively few and poorly organized. If you don't invest, you can't hope to make a good impression! I won't go back

07/06/2025: This is my first time here... The place is meticulously maintained, very unique... Excellent quality food... The Sila potatoes with their skins are delicious, as are the sandwiches... The staff is always present and very kind, with a special focus on children. My daughter ordered sausages, and they arrived shaped like octopus... To top off the evening, there was very enjoyable live music... I will definitely be back with my family. Keep up the good work...

01/11/2025: Welcoming staff, especially the owner and the young man. I'd say the value for money is excellent. Well, what can I say...we'll be back.

27/09/2025: "An exceptional culinary experience! The fresh fish was extraordinary, from the raw to the grilled fish, every dish was a masterpiece of flavor and freshness. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, they make you feel at home, and the service is impeccable, with attentive, professional, and always available staff.

30/11/2025: There is no menu, so you don't know how much you'll spend, you have to trust the owner's advice. We took 2 appetizers, with portions for 1 person. I was struck by a small salmon tartare that we had to share between two. We also took 2 first courses, I had seafood where there were more shells than pasta. A bottle of water was unopened but paid for. The wine arrived after the appetizer following 2 reminders from us. The waiters didn't even remember our courses, nor the wine chosen. The price was absolutely exorbitant compared to what we ate and the service received. It's a shame, because the raw materials were good, cooked quite well.

26/10/2025: The food is really good. Fresh fish, fast service, and a lovely place with a top-notch wine cellar.

07/10/2025: Everything was fantastic: the sea, the beach, the very welcoming structure. The restaurant and service were excellent. All thanks to the owners' professionalism and hospitality.

01/10/2025: In mid-September, my family and I went on vacation near Santa Caterina and had a wonderful time at the Lido. We were there almost every day, especially for lunch. We tried almost the entire menu, including the tasty appetizers, the delicious first courses, including the gnocchi made by the fantastic, unparalleled chef, the exquisite second courses, the highly digestible pizzas, the delicious side dishes, the ice creams, the desserts, the phenomenal Calabrian liqueurs, etc. Our family spent a joyful and peaceful time as guests of the Leto family and their serious and dedicated staff. They all work hard to make your stay in their company a pleasant one, always with a smile, with tranquility, calm, and serenity, with the backdrop of their sea, that of Santa Caterina, which sweetens and makes the presence in the Lido dei Fiori di Ciliegio invigorating. Well done, well done everyone, Ad Maiora 👏👏👏

06/11/2025: I had at the beginning of November

22/10/2025: Super delicious, high-quality cocktails! Plus sumptuous snacks. Very attentive and pleasant! You're happy to pay a few euros more.

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!

20/08/2025: We had a great lunch, the staff were very welcoming and the food was delicious, especially the foccacia and the parmegiana di melanzane.

18/11/2025: Number One We've become creatures of habit Authentic cuisine Sincere meat Highly recommended Boy in the dining room who deserves a clone 💪🏼

30/10/2025: Excellent meat and good service. It's attached to the butcher shop, so it's a bit small with limited space. Reservations are recommended as it's always busy.

22/09/2025: Excellent place, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, full of smiles. Delicious and fresh food, I recommend you go there, you won't regret it. The location is magnificent and the sea view is amazing.

06/09/2025: If you want to eat good fresh fish in Locri, I recommend it. The service is impeccable, the staff attentive and friendly. The spaghetti with clams was excellent, as was the seafood linguine and the hot/cold appetizer. We spent €80 for two.

05/12/2025: I met Bruzia at the "Una mole di panettoni" event in Turin last weekend, and it was a delightful discovery. The 'nduja panettone is irresistible! I bought a couple to share with my friends, and they're all raving about it! A true excellence that Calabria should be proud of. If we start from the passion and professionalism that Bruzia brings to her work, Calabria can conquer the world. Well done!!!

11/11/2025: High quality food especially the pastries, only downside is moderate wait times at the checkout counter but it's worth it

15/10/2025: An excellent culinary experience, enhanced by the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, especially the owner, Palmino, who made us feel right at home, even though it was our first time here for lunch. A splendid seaside spot that I recommend to anyone seeking a blend of quality and beauty. Thank you! And see you soon! Your cuisine is absolutely innovative and superb!

03/10/2025: It's October, rough seas. We found this seaside restaurant welcoming and excellent food. I recommend the lobster and fried fish.

11/09/2025: Excellent sandwiches, kind and friendly staff. Giovanna is fantastic, fast, and cheerful. Clean atmosphere. Affordable prices. Recommended

11/09/2025: I had my first sandwich when I was 6 years old, now I'm 34 and I take my children there too...unique
